This CD completes a recording project of all Telemann's concertos involving wind instruments, which spans a total of 16 CDs.
Interpretation
For this recording, the natural horns were played with the bell held high, producing a clear sound distinct from later Romantic horn ideals.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Johann Joachim Quantz, a flutist and composer, considered Telemann's unprinted quartets to be "exquisitely beautiful models" of their kind.
Instruments
In Telemann's era, the horn was a relatively new concert instrument, having transitioned from a signal provider around the 18th century.
Performer Biography
Camerata Köln, one of the world's most storied chamber music ensembles for early music, was founded in 1979 by music students at Cologne Musikhochschule.
Performer Biography
Founding members Michael Schneider, Karl Kaiser, Rainer Zipperling, and Sabine Bauer still perform with Camerata Köln in 2020.
Interpretation
An original 300-year-old horn by Friedrich Ehe of Nuremberg was used for the F-major Concerto, offering unique playing characteristics for understanding historical brass technique.
