The Kleine Konzert
Hermann Max, director

An important release series of Telemann's vocal music performed by Rheinische Kantorei and Das Kleine Konzert conducted by Hermann Max. The 84-minute Serenata eroica is a piece of funeral music for Friedrich August of Saxony featuring six vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra. The music has all the baroque splendid usually associated with Telemann. It was written for people driven by the baroque love of extravagant spectacle and the lofty gesture, but at the same time conscious of the frailty, impotence and transience of human existance, torn between restless activity on earth and its confident belief in the hereafter and in the Christian's joyful resurrection.
