Few composers were quite as industrious as Telemann. Apart from producing a vast amount of music of the highest quality in all genres, he set up a publishing company in Hamburg in 1728 where his collection The Faithful Music Master was published. This included sonatas, arias, duos and solos. Arias from operas were reduced in scoring to allow domestic performance, and texts set in foreign languages were translated into German so the wider public could enjoy them. Some of the works on this disc appeared in his fortnightly publication. Scoring was something that Telemann revelled in, and sometimes the same work would appear in different guises. In addition, in an early example of how to boost circulation, he published individual movements over the course of several issues of The Faithful Music Master, thereby allowing the subscriber to collect the complete work. Telemann was a musical magpie. Collecting styles and influences from France and Italy, he skilfully assimilated them into what would become a German style, which had a considerable influence upon J.S. Bach. The music on this disc is wonderfully crafted, tuneful, beautifully scored, and the work of a master at the height of his considerable powers.


Originally released in 2000, this recording was reissued by the budget Brilliant label in 2009. It's an entirely competent assortment of Telemann's chamber music for recorder, drawn from two collections: the amateur-oriented Der getreue Music-Meister (The Trusty Music Master) and the somewhat more challenging Essercizii Musici of several years later. The four sonatas from the former publication, appearing first, third, fourth, and sixth on the present disc, are for recorder and continuo, realized here with the common combination of harpsichord and cello. All are essentially in four movements (the Sonata in C major, TWV41:C5, at the beginning has a compound first movement and two other movements), with plenty of light, affecting French-style melody confidently rendered and with a bit of flair by recorder player Lorenzo Cavasanti of the Italian-Dutch group Tripla Concordia. The two sonatas from the Essercizii Musici were written for the unusual combination of recorder, harpsichord, and continuo (this is true even of the Sonata in B flat major, TWV42:B4, which lacks mention of the continuo in the tracklist). The group realizes this with a pair of harpsichords and cello, which seems less desirable than a more varied instrumentation with, say, a theorbo. The dual-harpsichord textures are busy, and one wonders how many households even in prosperous northern Germany owned a pair of keyboard instruments; a harpsichord was a major purchase, just as a piano is today. However, there's nothing that really impedes the listener's enjoyment of music that can, now as then, serve perfectly well as background to the dinner hour yet reveal numerous elegant small details to those who are listening for them. Well-engineered at an unspecified location in Montevarchi, Italy, with a pertinent overview (in English only, at least as released in the U.S.) of Telemann's career and of this music.
