Georg Philipp Telemann: Quatuors Parisiens 1 (CPO Audio CD)

John Holloway (violin), Linde Brunmayr (transverse flute), Lorenz Duftschmid (viola da gamba), Ulrike Becker (violoncello), Lars-Ulrik Mortensen (harpsichord)

Telemann wrote the twelve Paris Quartets whilst living in the eponymous city in the Winter of 1737-38. These quartets represent the very best of Telemann’s chamber music: refined, richly varied and full of imagination.

CPO’s new recording with Baroque greats such as John Holloway and Lars Ulrik Mortensen will set new standards of performance in these charming works.
