Zagreb Soloists Telemann 'Multi-Instrument' Concertos CD

The sound, particularly on the Esterhazy recordings, is warm and full, and performances excellent... Telemann's inexhaustible invention is well demonstrated, these collective concertos offer the greatest interest... Concerto for 3 Trumpets etc brings a sprightly fugue, oboes dominate a gravely expressive Largo, and ending with superb interplay - an irresistible masterpiece ! The Suite opens with a folksong 'come up and see me sometime' and strongly characterised dances follow with a feeling for colour... Highly stimulating set - the warmest of welcomes !
