Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)

Telemann's art ran the gamut from the sublime profundity to surreal humour. Don Quixote, Gulliver, Lucretia, Italianate concerti, the music of pleasantry, here kaleidoscopically take centre stage, kindling the imagination and arresting expectations. Les Esprits Animaux take us on a high-wire journey, spiritedly emotionalising the Baroque in 21^st century breath.
