With the release of this second disc in violinist Elizabeth Wallfisch's survey of the complete violin concertos of Telemann, one thing is readily apparent: the Hamburg composer wrote a lot of really fine violin concertos. Taken altogether, the seven concertos on the first volume and now these eight concertos on the second volume form a wonderful body of work as remarkable for its consistency and its diversity. That is to say, all the works are not only superbly written to show off the virtuosity of the soloist and the composer, but they are all markedly different from each other.

The fourth volume of CPO’s set of Telemann’s “complete violin concertos” contains three overture-concertos, two works of which kind appeared in a previous volume (in D, TWV 55:D14; in A, TWV 55: colla parte , but woodwind highlights don’t distract from the sometimes brilliant solos that emerge not only in the fast sections of the first movements (ouvertures), but in the jaunty movements like the G-Major Concerto’s Bourée (these concertos usually consist of an ouverture followed by sets of dances, including entrées, bourées, loures, menuets, siciliennes, gigues, and rondeaus, mixed in various orders).

In this, the first disc in a series covering the violin concertos of Telemann (of which there are twenty), we have cause for rejoicing. These performances are so fine, and this music so appealing and elegant, that I immediately listened to the entire disc through a second time…. rare praise indeed.

…this is the third instalment of a very fine series. The best work is the Concerto in D, which has movement titles like Badinage and is wonderfully inventive…Wallfisch is joined by Susan Carpenter-Jacobs for some very elegant duetting.

This group of hybrid compositions situated between the French overture and the Italian concerto represents a unique case in the music history of the eighteenth century; no other composer from this period set this type of concertante violin music with the rich designs and wealth of ideas found in Telemann.

Chacun des trois concertos pour violon de Telemann figurant dans le septième volume (mais pas le dernier !) de notre série complète mérite une attention particulière en raison de son caractère musical singulier. Wolfgang Hirschmann, l'expert auteur du livret, considère que l'attribution de la première suite à Telemann est tout à fait justifiée, même s'il s'agit peut-être d'un exemple assez précoce des concertos en forme d'ouverture du compositeur. Bien que la deuxième suite d'ouverture doive être classée parmi les anonymes, Adolf Hoffmann l'a catégoriquement identifiée comme une pièce de Telemann dans son étude sur les suites orchestrales (1969) et l'a classée comme un "chef-d'œuvre" de ce compositeur. Le violon solo est employé de manière très efficace, avec un sens finement développé des effets de timbre, et les mouvements sont élaborés de manière ambitieuse dans leur longueur et leur forme. Quelle que soit la plausibilité de la paternité de Telemann, ces œuvres nous permettent de participer à un fascinant voyage dans le temps, dans la culture musicale européenne des années 1720.

The five works on this volume offer a fascinating cross-section of Telemann's violin concertos from the early creations of the Eisenach period (1708-1712) to the 1730s, when the composer published his Musique de table as a musician highly respected throughout Europe. And the genres and instrumentations on this album are also varied: concertos for two and three solo violins stand alongside a Violetta double concerto and Telemann's only concerto overture with two solo violins.

Iona Brown, violinist and sometime conductor of the Academy of St. Martin and the fields, clearly understood how different Telemann was from other baroque composers - and what was needed to really bring out his special qualities. Unlike J.S. Bach and Handel, who were keyboard virtuosi, Telemann, who had unusual interest in and an especially keen ear for instrumental sonorities, spent his early years (secretly) learning to play all the instruments available in his time. Despite his prodigious musical gifts, his upper middle class family did not want him pursuing what was then the low occupation of musician.

Telemann wrote instrumental concertos for all the wind instruments of his epoch – for example, for oboe and oboe d’amore and for transverse flute, recorder, and flauto pastorale. Since he could play most of these instruments, he wrote extremely idiomatic parts showing each instrument in a favourable light and simultaneously appealing to the instrumentalist. The concertos exhibit a wealth of varied (and often unusual) ensemble formations, concerto practices and forms. A one-of-kind cosmos of performance joy and fantasy spreads out in the Italian, French, German, and Polish styles, and it was because of its uniqueness that cpo set out on the adventure of a complete recording of Telemann’s wind concertos with La Stagione and the Camerata Köln.
