Enchanted indeed., December 26, 2006
This review is from: Enchanted Castles: Sonatas For Flute,Oboe,Recorder,Chalumeau,Bassoon (Audio CD)
This 1996 Meridian Records (London) celebration and sampler of Georg Philipp Telemann showcases the delightful and über-competent Cambridge trio called Badinage. Paul Carroll, Sally Civval and harpsichordist David Rowland play a restrained, precise Telemann that is honey on the ears.
I once attended a Badinage concert in the candle-lit chapel of Christ College, Cambridge, where the visuals perfectly matched the auditory pleasures afforded by this trio, which specializes in the Baroque catalogue.
When technically demanding music like the kind that Telemann so often wrote is played by a consort of only three musicians, there is no room for error, uncoordination, or mental lapse. Badinage makes sure none occur.
The result is indeed enchanting.
