Lunch with Telemann

Telemann Ouverture-Suite in E minor for two flutes and strings, TWV55
Telemann Sonata in D minor for recorder, two flutes and continuo, TWV43

Academy Baroque Soloists from RAM present selections from Telemann’s huge compendium of “Musique de Table” or “Tafelmusik”. The prolific composer and multi-instrumentalist wisely tapped into the burgeoning appetite for amateur music-making and public concerts in the early 18th century by writing a huge amount of ensemble music for almost any combination of instruments.
