Georg Philipp Telemann

  • Kölner Akademie’s Telemann Easter Cantatas Highly Recommended

    Apr 14th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, Georg Philipp Telemann, Kölner Akademie, Michael Alexander Willens

    Let’s be clear. This is a mere sampling of Georg Philipp Telemann’s output for Easter. After all, he composed Easter cantatas and oratorios for about sixty years.  And often more than one for a specific date. This release focuses on works composed during the 1720s. Telemann was in his 30s, working in Frankfurt. He was the city’s […]

  • Georg Philipp Telemann Sings of Love

    Jan 4th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, Georg Philipp Telemann, Georg Poplutz, Julia Kirchner, La Stagione Frankfurt, Michael Schneider

    This release is all about love. Rest assured, these three secular cantatas are but a fraction of those Telemann wrote. The program is well-planned.   The three cantatas come from three different sources. They were written for different occasions and presented different views of love. Julia Kirchner and Georg Poplutz each perform a solo cantata, […]

  • 100 Menuets showcase Telemann’s brilliance in miniature

    Dec 28th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andrea Coen, Brilliant Classics, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Georg Philipp Telemann, Noteworthy Release

    In music, as with most things, quantity doesn’t always equal quality. But sometimes it does. As in the 100 menuets of Georg Philip Telemann. These pieces were published in two collections, titled “Seven times seven plus one Menuet.” The first collection appeared in 1728, the second in 1730. What makes this release so fascinating is […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 3

    Dec 17th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: #ClassicalHoliday, #ClassicsaDay, Arthur Honegger, Georg Philipp Telemann, Normon Dello Joio, PDQ Bach, Pierre Dandriew, Twitter

    Traditionally, #ClassicalChristmas has been the December theme for Classics a Day. This year, it’s changed slightly — #ClassicalHoliday. The idea was always to encourage folks to share works composed for performance in December. The pieces could be either sacred or secular. But the hashtag #ClassicalChristmas suggested music only for one faith tradition. So new hashtag, […]

  • #ClassicsaDay #ClassicalHoliday Week 2

  • Kölner Akademie continues excellent Telemann Christmas series

    Nov 29th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, Georg Philipp Telemann, Holiday music, Kölner Akademie, Michael Alexander Willens

    This volume features two Advent and two Christmas cantatas by Georg Philipp Telemann. The difference between these liturgical seasons has blurred over time. But in the 1700s there was a clear difference. Advent was the season anticipated the birth of Christ — hopeful, but waiting. Christmas marked the arrival of Christ, and the twelve days […]

  • Telemann “Musicalisches Lob Gottes” leavened with Viol Fantasies

    Aug 30th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, Dorothee Mields, Georg Philipp Telemann, Hamburger Ratsmusik, Hanna Zumsande, Klaus Mertens, Simone Eckert

    For this release, Simone Eckert takes a stripped-down approach to Telemann. Granted, Telemann’s sacred music sounds glorious with a large chorus and supporting orchestra. But the reality was different. Most German courts had modest resources, with only a few singers and a handful of instruments. The cantatas recorded here could all be considered chamber works […]

  • Capella Savaria Deliver with Telemann Concertos

    Aug 4th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Capella Savaria, Georg Philipp Telemann, Hungaroton, Zsolt Kalló

    >Georg Philipp Telemann could write just about anything. And he did — in great quantity. And he also wrote with great quality. This release samples some of his concertos for two or more instruments. The early music ensemble Capella Savaria, in their own way, matches Telemann’s prolificacy. The ensemble has been around since 1981, and […]

  • Cavatina Duo refreshes the repertoire

    Oct 5th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Bridge Records, Cavatina Duo, Chamber music, Classical music, Georg Philipp Telemann, Marin Marais

    It’s a real challenge to take something very familiar and make it sound new. And not just novelty new, but new that retains the substance of the original. I think the Cavatina Duo successfully met that challenge, not once but twice with this new recording. They present an arrangement of Marin Marais’ “Follies d’Espagne.” The […]
