5 stars for period performance; 3 for living tradition fans........2003-11-23

This third series in Tafelmusik's feast of different instrumental combinations starts with a quartet for two flutes and 2 bass instruments, in this case fulfilled by cello concertante and bassoon. Its 4th movement finishes with one of Telemann's rousing evocations of Polish mountain folk music "clad in an Italian coat". The cello comes out of hiding and delivers virtuosic "fiddle" passages. The Concerto in F starts almost like a Bach Brandenburg, but quickly moves into Telemann's less contrapuntal, harmonically inventive style. This piece, like the Sonata in A, and the Conclusion, are all in three movements, unlike Telemann's more usual 4-movement style. The "Conclusion" offers a driving competition between oboe and trumpet as solo instruments with string orchestra. This brilliant piece serves as one of the bridging themes for "C-Span" on TV and radio, and offers the a conclusion appealing to both living tradition and period performance fans.

5 for Period style, 3 for Living Tradition: delicacy.......2003-11-23

As with other of the earlier Tafelmusik disks in this set , the fourth disk begins with a multi-movement overture in a style whose "Frenchness"(.g. "Flaterie", and "Badinage") is hardly matched even by real French Baroque composers. It's hard to grasp how Telemann could have done it all: be a master of music for every instrumental combination, occasion, and national style (e.g. Les Nations), be sought after by the royal courts of his time, yet have a heart to provide interesting music for the amateur performer, and initiate the first public concerts in Germany; write his own poetry, and engrave his own music. Combine all this with his incredible productivity and it's not hard to understand why he was rated at the head of German composers. The most unusual instrumental feature in this disk is the concerto for two horns and strings in E. Although less technically demanding than Mozart's concerto work for this instrument, it's strong melodic inspiration and, as usual, effective use of the instrument make the concerto a favorite in horn student recitals.

Again, with respect to performance style, I did wish especially in the Quartet for flute, violin, cello and continuo, as well as other pieces for a bit more meat and less delicacy. The performers got bolder in the very last "Conclusion", a short but pungently complex conclusion to the opening Overture, scored for oboes, strings and continuo. Some of the harmonic and rhythmic interplays seem to touch even a bit of early 20th Century at times. I'm going to have to listen a number more times to figure out what I really think of how they did this one. Readers should note that the disk numbers do not correspond with the original Tafelmusik series, which are 3 in number.
