Having previously recorded the Baroque greats such as Handel and Vivaldi, Pamela Thorby completes her anthology of eighteenth century favourites with Telemann's Recorder Sonatas and Fantasias.

Telemann's legacy as a composer of recorder music is among the richest of the age. The warmth and conviviality of Telemann's writing, the easy beauty of his melodies, as well as the knowing playfulness and ingenuity across many national styles are fully explored in this engaging programme.

Pamela utilises a range of recorders in many sizes, known to players in the eighteenth century but only recently again perfected by makers for modern use. Accompanying Pamela are Ensemble Marsyas' Peter Whelan (bassoon), Alison McGillivray (cello), Elizabeth Kenny (archlute/guitar) and Marcin Swiatkiewicz (harpsichord/organ).

Telemann's virtuosic 'concerto style' writing provides many opportunities for Pamela to further cement her deserved reputation as 'queen of the recorder'.

"I am full of admiration for the warmth and conviviality of Telemann's writing, the easy beauty of his melodies, and the knowing playfulness and ingenuity, across many national styles, that lovingly and effortlessly pervade his structural and rhetorical compositional devices. No wonder we find intrigue and education in the study of his fantasias. They are gateways for single-line players to melodic and harmonic Baroque 'gardens of eloquence'." (Pamela Thorby)
