Simone Eckert

  • 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

    To me, renaissance Christmas carols have a certain serenity about them. Perhaps it’s the softness of the instruments, such as the lute, recorder, and virginal.
