Colonel - unlike a Certain Other Board of Your Acquaintance this one isn't run by a faceless machine but by a chap called Michael who has so far proved amenable to requests to change posting names. It's not a function of the board as such but Michael has done it for a couple of other posters already. You can find him at all the administratively-inclined threads. And you don't need to post something for everyone to see: you can send a personal message.

Let me say before I go any further that I'm not an employee of the Carus-Verlag, but anyone wanting an enlightening introduction to Telemann's choral music might do well to start with this: http://www.carus-verlag.com/index.php3?BLink=KKArtikel&ArtikelID=21399&Action=kkartikelwhich brings together diverse works (two cantatas not unrelated in form to Bach's, three motets and the instrumental "Hamburgische Trauermusik") all of which use Lutheran chorales in one way or another. Here Telemann frequently shows his facility with counterpoint, which you don't hear so often in his instrumental music and which is as you might expect just as charming as his way with instrumentation. |

This is lovely too.Another expensive thread I see. I wonder if there might be a way to get some record retailer to sponsor us to waffle on about CDs we like?

Thanks for the reminder - a long time ago when I was just starting to explore the E.M. field I found some very enjoyable music by Telemann but was too easily distracted by Bach. Perhaps now would be an ideal time to renew my acquaintance.

No I haven't heard that one yet, but it's on my list. Glad you liked the other one.

What is the Graupner bug? Is it contagious?
I like his solo cantata "Mein Herze schwimmt in Blut" which was formerly attributed to JS Bach. A flattering error, no?

Well he was the successful candidate for the St Thomas gig in Leipzig. Then his boss in Darmstadt wouldn't let him go and offered him lots of money so he pulled out and the Leipzig job went to... well, you know the rest. I can feel a new thread coming on. |

As a recorder player in my school and University days, playing Telemann's chamber music was a regular part of my Baroque diet. Unfortunately since my playing declined sharply after entering the real world, Telemann's music hardly features at all now in my musical world. Remembering from my playing days Telemann's music had a natural quality to it - not contrived or repetitious like some other lesser Baroque composers - which was a joy to play. Now so much more repertoire is available on disc I must put together a short list and do some more listening.

(It's a No Thumbrest handshake by the way. My recorder playing is so secretive it's never been seen on stage except in a piece by Richard Barrett written as a doubling part for a clarinettist (which is what I really am) and an improvisation with my ensemble where I happened to have a garklein in my pocket and felt like expressing some pent-up annoyance at the viola player. But much Telemann is practised for my own amusement.) Off the top of my head: Chamber Concertos MAK/Goebel (last seen as a bright blue Archiv reissue) - has not only some lovely recorder things but the concertos for four violins and nothing else, which are lovely. Michael Schneider on Capriccio is great in the recorder sonatas. He's also great in the concerto for recorder and flute on the old MAK wind concertos disc although as I become a old fuddy-duddy I do find their ornamentation a bit outré... (don't mind a bit of tweaking but when there's hardly a bar that's as Telemann wrote it that takes it into diminishing returns territory for me) How do you think Telemann came upon the idea of writing top C? My theory is he was playing away one day and sneezed. |
