Title: Lovely execution of very happy Telemann chamber music
Product review: I ran into Florilegium's recent cd of the Telemann Paris quartets quite by accident while buying Hannibal the Cannibal in a bookstore. They were seductive enough to draw me away from Hannibal's dinner plans; the execution of the quartests by Florilegium is a nearly flawless balance of the lightness necessary to the quartets that Telemann seemed to have understood would make them popular and the musically weighty delivery that gives them punch. The organization of the cd, alternating between the quartets and solo fantasies for the violin, flute, and harpsichord individually works wonderfully well. This cd bears playing many times.
