Composer's Artistic Vision

Johann Mattheson, an 18th-century German theorist, named Telemann among the 'most famous and galant composers in Europe' in his 1721 work, 'Das forschende Orchestre'.

Interpretation

The concerts by the Quantz Collegium in the 'Sala Terrena' of Schloss Favorite Rastatt, combined with the musicians' 'historical' costumes, have earned the series its special reputation.

Compositional Technique

The 'galant style' in music, fashionable from the 1720s to 1770s, featured simpler, more song-like melodies, reduced polyphony, and a clear distinction between soloist and accompaniment.

Interpretation

The Quantz Collegium aims to make less-known Baroque and Classical composers accessible to the public, alongside the great masters.
