3.0 out of 5 stars Goebel has detractors when it comes to Telemann, August 29, 2011

Reinhard Goebel is highly regarded by many period instrument music fans, and has recorded a lot of Telemann, including modern first performances. However, his rather intellectual and unnuanced performances of Telemann has put off some aficionados like me. I find that the special qualities in Telemann's music - unexpected shifts of mood, rhythms, and instrumental effects, as well as Telemann's mastery of "orchestral counterpoint", requires interpreters willing to be bold and bend the rules. For lively discussion on evolving views about the most highly regarded German composer in Baroque time see the extensive comments on the negative side of reviews of Goebel's performance of "Telemann String Concertos".

Excellent quality sound with plenty of clarity and ambience, plus lively vivacious playing make this a winner. Telemann was the master of melodic invention and this manuscript is a testament. Arguably the Tafelmusik to must have - especially at this price.
