"There is plenty of variety and colour and moments too of reflective intimacy amidst the grand schema of Telemann's design...Characterisation of the various movements, whether Francophile or Vivaldian is acutely judged and the rewards are uniform - and lasting."(Musicweb)

It isn't often that one finds a complete recording of Telemann's Tafelmusik, and what a performance this is! The best "early music" musicians of The Netherlands came together and had obviously a good time: Wilbert Hazelzet & Kate Clark/traverse, Rémy Baudet (concertmaster Orchestra of the 18th Century/Frans Brüggen), violin, Richte van der Meer & Jaap ter Linden/cello, under the inspiring direction of Pieter-Jan Belder, who also plays the harpsichord.

Tafelmusik consists of three "Productions" in various ensembles, from solo to orchestral. It was written for performance during ceremonious dinners, explaining the "diverting" character of the music, which is by no means shallow or lightweight, but full of catching melodies and brilliant instrumental virtuosity, a proof of Telemann's genius. Enjoy your meal, with this appetizing piece of music!
