Delightful Baroque Variety,
By
This review is from: Best of Telemann (Audio CD)
Here for baroque lovers or those interested in exploring one of its most prominent composers is a collection of some of the very best of Telemann.What an enormous output this great German composer put out! From church music to chamber music, Telemann uses all the styles of his era, from Italian to French to German, he does them all execeptionally well with his own style of clarity and fluidity. The Viola Concerto is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a shame that this resonant, sensuous instrument doesn't not have a wider repertoire. Kyselak is marvelous in his phrasing and expressiveness. The Recorder Concerto by Stivin is just delightful and exemplary of the fine liltiness of baroque. The Quartet in G Major from Tafelmusik I is admirably performed by the Orchestra of the Golden Age with passion and sensitivity. The Overture in D and C Major, Darmstadt, is just exquisite. This is exciting music with great swellings and undertonings throughout. I thoroughly enjoy baroque and this collection with its varying instrumental groupings highlighted and the variety of styles and genres is truly stimulating and relaxing to listen to. For the price, this is just an outstanding find. Robert King and his Consort provide a fantastic recording catalog of such for us baroque lovers.

Elegant, sophisticated, and BORING.,
By Timmy (New York, Ny United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of Telemann (Audio CD)
George Telemann was the most prolific composer in musical history (with over 3,000 compositions), and probably the most respected composer of the baroque period (in his own time). Those who wonder how his output was so vast need only listen to the pieces on this CD. Frankly, I was bored out of my mind listening to these pieces. They are all very similar (much like the output of many other Baroque composers). Some of the pieces are pretty, however. My favorite was the viola concerto. Regardless, I was not happy with this collection. This is the type of CD you could only listen to once every several months.

A Great Introduction at a Great Price,
By Michael - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best of Telemann (Audio CD)
I had heard some of Telemann's work on interent classical stations and wanted to learn more. This is a great introduction to a great composer at a great price. I found the quality satisfactory and my stereo is fairly advanced. The music flows nicely, which is not always the case with "best of" compilations. This will become a core part of my classical collection.

Pieces of Pieces--4.5 stars,
By Neal J. Pollock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best of Telemann (Audio CD)
According to Keith Anderson's CD insert (in English, French, & Spanish), "Georg Philipp Telemann [1681-1767] was among the most distinguished composers of his time." He was a friend of Bach's & was Bach's 2nd son's godfather. This CD contains many of Telemann's best & most famous works. I have other versions on CD's, esp. the Suite in A-moll (minor), Viola Concerto in G major, Trumpet Concerto in D major, & table music. For more of the latter--there's a 2 CD set "Dinner Music" B0001XBBPO Georg Philipp Telemann; Dinner Music Vol. 1 & 2 with Concertos by Johann Hummel & Franz Richter and "Musique de table" by Essential Classics/Sony. This CD is a generous 71:07 in 23 tracks/movements. It's strength is in its selection & variety. This, however, is also its weakness--many selections are pieces of pieces--not the entire composition. Thus, they appear shorter than other versions--mostly due to this excerpting. Similarly & simultaneously plus & minus, except for 2 by the Cologne Chamber Orchestra, the pieces are performed by different orchestras. Thus, I'd say this CD is a fine introduction to Telemann, but suggest further exploration to comprehend the fullness of his compositions. Still, I would give this a 5 star except for one thing. The lead-in piece, arguably Telemann's most famous, the A-moll is simply IMHO played too fast. It lacks the majesty shown in other renditions of this piece. Not a good way to start.Also, I'd recommend: Telemann: Viola Concerto; Don Quichotte; Hamburger Ebb und Flut /ASMF * Marriner and The Sensuous Baroque 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful
