Highly characterful and unfailingly inventive, Telemann's Twelve Fantasies for Solo Violin were written with an eye to the amateur or student market. They explore the possibilities of solo violin writing with suggestions of polyphony and modest elements of double and triple stopping, while making use of instrumental forms derived from the sonata or the suite, often with an overt debt to Corelli and his Italian successors. American Record Guide proclaimed that "the future of great violin playing is safe and very bright in Augustin Hadelich's 24-year-old hands" of Haydn's Violin Concertos (8.570483), recorded after he won the 2006 International Violin Competition of Indianapolis.

"Hadelich's handling of the faster movements is worth particular mention. Although Telemann only hints at polyphonic textures, Mr. Hadelich connects the lines in such a way that we definitely get the illusion of more than one voice. His attention to melodic shape is most evident in the slower movements, particularly those cast in the minor mode. He sings with his instrument, breathing in all the right places and balancing tension and release to perfection. This is lyrical music-making of the first order, and although the works themselves are less than completely profound, they are so well crafted as to be satisfying for player and listener alike."
