GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN (1681-1767): Quatuors Parisiens, Vol. 1 - in Dd, TWV 43:D1, in A Minor, 43:a2, in A, 43:A1 & in E Minor, 43:e1.

Description: The 12 quartets making up this group of works come from Hamburg in 1730 - three and four-movement works, and Paris in 1738 - multiple-movement works in the form of French dance suites. Although fairly popular in concert, it's surprising how few recordings are currently available. John Holloway (violin), Linde Brunmayr (flute), Lorenz Duftschmid (viola da gamba), Ulrike Becker (cello), Lars-Ulrik Mortensen (harpsichord).
