Georg Philipp Telemann was one of the most prolific composers of all time. A contemporary of Bach (and in his time even more famous) he composed in all existing genres, his music excelling in craftsmanship, originality and freshness.
Telemann wrote an immense oeuvre for keyboard (he was a virtuoso on the instrument himself). This 5‐CD set contains an abundance of smaller pieces: fugues, overtures, suites and partitas. No matter how short or “small” the piece, the music shines with Telemann’s particular wit and brilliance, the stamp of a true genius.
Roberto Loreggian is one of Italy’s best known and most esteemed keyboardists, he perfectly conveys the zest and good humour of these works, playing alternatively a copy of a historic harpsichord and an organ.
