Telemann.

Musique de Table. Complete.

Volume I.

Camerata of the 18th century/Konrad Hunteler.

On Original instruments

Hey Guys, this is absolutely the best recording ever IMO. Many a table music I have or had, but no one ever came near to this State of the Art recording. And boy what a fantastic performance this is. Melting woodwinds, soft as a feather strings, refined sound as from angels work. And all the tempi right, neither rushed nor slow, I am stunned in amazement, I really am.
With utmost force recommended!

Well I like baroque opera's my friend.
I love all the female singers  on this recording to begin with, love there voices I mean.
And this is a excellent recording, apart from some prancks from Rene Jacob concerning tempi, but a very worthwhile performance.
Surprised huh.
If you would have spend more time reading my interesting articles you would know that I love Baroque opera's! ;D ;D ;D

Than you are in for a treat, for this is really a outstanding release, and so much of my favourite singers together, like Isabelle Poulenard, whom I know from old. She still has a fine voice, and the rest! :)
