  Travels with Telemann

  6pm

  King's Lynn Festival

  Annabel Knight – Recorders, Baroque Flute
  Robin Bigwood – Harpsichord

  In 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 C

  JS Bach: French Suite in E major BWV 817

  GF Handel: Excerpts from Xerses and Il Pastor Fido

  CPE Bach: Flute Sonata in E minor Wq 124
