CD Reviews

Splendid run through on some previously unrecorded suites
08/07/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Its hard not to have the infectious enthusiasm of this music improve your day. These are all high spirited pieces from Telemann's large opus of suites (and fairly inventive too). As I sat listening to them I thought "these have the same bouncing gait as a good piece of Handel". The difference is Handel keeps the horse cantering along on the bridle path, and Telemann occasionally and unexpectedly sees a fox and steers the horse into the woods to chase it. The disc is long (almost 80 minutes) and while I don't love the price point (hence 4 stars instead of 5),the added bonus is that most of the suites haven't been recorded. So I'd give it 5 stars for the music and recording--highly recommended. But something less for the price. (After all, we are living in the world of naxos.)"
