As on Vol. 1, so too on Vol. 2 of Telemann’s concertos for mixed solo ensembles: it is to be assumed that the composer wrote them either as festive opening pieces for vocal works or as showpieces for particular instrumental virtuosos or ensembles. Once again the concertos exhibit high compositional quality and Telemann’s frequently cited ‘mixed style’ in their wealth of motivic shapes and widely spanned harmonic developments. The interpreters, Michael Schneider with the soloists and musicians of La Stagione! are once again cpo’s featured expert Telemann project advocates.
