GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN (1681-1767): Sonatas for Recorder and Continuo in C, 41:C:5, in B Flat, 41:B3, in D Minor, 41:d2, in F Minor, 41:f1, in C, 41:C2 & in F, 41:F2, Sonatinas in A Minor, 41:a4 and in C Minor, TWV 41:c2.

Description: I don't want to say that only Telemann could make the recorder fun to listen to through his knack for melodic and harmonic beauty but, well, there it is. Except for the Sonatina 41:c2, these are rarely recorded, the sonatas being in solo form (recorder and harpsichord) for two of them and the other four trios with the gamba added. Heiko ter Schegget (recorder), Meineke van der Velden (viola da gamba), Benny Aghassi (bassoon), Zvi Meniker (harpsichord). MDG SACD hybrid.
