Tafelmusik Telemann

…The Camerata - an offshoot of Bruggen's Orchestra of the 18th Century - use only a single instrument to a part…the characterful immediacy of the individual playing translates into a corporate band capable of superb buoyancy and vigour. Flautist Konrad Hunteler directs with a twinkling eye rather than a dictatorial stick…The music's charm lies in a complex amalgam of innocence and sophistication which Hunteler judges to perfection…

I've been a fan of Telemann's Tafelmusik ever since I bought the Telefunken vinyl set featuring a young Frans Bruggen and a bunch of his friends in the pickup band Concerto Amsterdam, most of the members of which went on to major careers in music. That was over 30 years ago. After performing some of this music myself, and listening to it a great deal, my devotion to the music has only grown.

The Bruggen set is still competitive in many ways..but Goebel outdoes it in all the ways that count.
