Travels with Telemann
6pmAnnabel Knight – Recorders, Baroque Flute
Robin Bigwood – HarpsichordIn Telemann’s 250th anniversary year, we celebrate this charismatic and well-travelled composer who made a life’s work from publishing and transmitting music for the ‘pleasure of the people’. Inspired by Telemann’s own entertaining autobiography, we re-create the vibrant musical scene of his day, exploring his lively friendships with both Handel and the Bach family and the rich cultural mix of music they shared. French suites, Italian sonatas, and a helping of music for the theatre.Telemann: Partita in E minor from Die kleine Kammer Music; Recorder Sonata in CJS Bach: French Suite in E major BWV 817GF Handel: Excerpts from Xerses and Il Pastor FidoCPE Bach: Flute Sonata in E minor Wq 124
