Telemann: The Collection

The familiar yet unfamiliar father figure of Baroque music: he wrote orchestral suites, chamber music, operas, oratorios and cantatas, a vast output that has still not been fully explored. During his own lifetime he was hailed as one of the most prolific, versatile and innovative composers of his day: Georg Philipp Telemann. The early music movement has long held him in high regard and in recent decades has been responsible for the high-quality recordings that are the defining feature of the present collection.
