Telemann may have written his twelve fantasias for the amateur market, but he would surely have rejoiced to hear such superlative performances as these. Alina Ibragimova again demonstrates just
what can be accomplished on the four strings of a solo violin.
"Where Ibragimova is often at her most appealing is when addressing dance metres. Here her lightly articulated bowing and her softly spoken melodic declamation make for considerable appeal...Elsewhere Ibragimova demonstrates a playful agility in enlivening the kaleidoscope of Telemann's canvas."
