Product Description
CD Description
This specially-priced four-CD boxset of Telemann's Tafelmusik contains much of Telemann’s finest music, encompassing the forms of the late Baroque: French overture and dance suite, quartet, concerto, trio, and solo sonata. It is the benchmark recording of Telemann’s wide-ranging anthology of orchestral, chamber, and solo music. Reinhard Goebel, a champion of this composer, and his Musica Antiqua Köln offer these outstanding performances of precision and clarity with “dazzling virtuosity and unanimity of ensemble and musical thinking” (The Penguin Guide).

...who cares about the package. These disks made me sit up and take notice of Telemann. Now I can't get enough! Pickett and Hogwood also do justice to Telemann, but Goebel is up there with them.

The music absolutely marvellous.
But, take care of the package. As soon as I get of the first disk it was scratched due to the poor quality of the CD envelope.

Goebel has detractors when it comes to Telemann
29 Aug 2011
Format:Audio CD
Reinhard Goebel is highly regarded by many period instrument music fans, and has recorded a lot of Telemann, including modern first performances. However, his rather intellectual and unnuanced performances of Telemann has put off some aficionados like me. I find that the special qualities in Telemann's music - unexpected shifts of mood, rhythms, and instrumental effects, as well as Telemann's mastery of "orchestral counterpoint", requires interpreters willing to be bold and bend the rules. For lively discussion on evolving views about the most highly regarded German composer in Baroque time see the extensive comments on the negative side of reviews of Goebel's performance of "Telemann String Concertos".

Excellent quality sound with plenty of clarity and ambience, plus lively vivacious playing make this a winner. Telemann was the master of melodic invention and this manuscript is a testament. Arguably the Tafelmusik to must have - especially at this price.
