Rainer Seidl; Daniel Valentin Marx - Georg Philipp Telemann: Chamber Music for Bassoon and Guitar

Georg Philipp Telemann was the most famous of all German composers during his lifetime and a master of all musical genres. Every piece in this album dates from his triumphant years in Hamburg, where he was the city�s music director. They are heard in exciting new arrangements reflecting Telemann�s own practice in transcribing his works for various instruments. The two Sonatinas come from the collection Neue Sonatinen of 1730�31, a rich source of material, while the Fantasias derive from the Fantasias for viola da gamba, with much polyphonic writing cast in galant style.
