Telemann: The Concerti-En-Suite Tempesta di Mare Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra, Gwyn Roberts, Richard Stone [ Chandos Chaconne / CD - released 4/May/2018 ] "..beautifully blended sound of the whole: crisp strings, mellow woodwind, subtle-but-there harpsichord and theorbo and a gorgeous soft-focus halo of horns. In short, every instrumental timbre is beautifully looked after." Gramophone |
