With more than 125 concertos to his credit, Telemann was one of the pioneers of this genre that had flowered in Italy. Combining daring, humour and emotion, he particularly delighted in exploring the virtuosity of the violin, its gift for imitation and its lyricism… Alongside other works of his where the violin also takes centre stage, Isabelle Faust and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin showcase several jewels from his output of unimagined opulence.
"Faust's playing, as ever is alluring and she is affectionately complemented by the Akademie für Alte Musik, Berlin directed by violinist Bernhard Forck," BBC Music
"In league with the high-adrenalin Berlin band, her playing has all the finesse, colour and flamboyant theatricality Telemann's cosmopolitan music demands...If you're still suspicious about Telemann's compositional fertility, these joyous, uninhibited performances could be just the answer."
