Naxos

No other composer wrote in his day so specifically for the recorder as the Magdeburg-born Georg Philipp Telemann. His way of composing for this instrument confirms that he himself must have concerned himself intensively with the technical and musical possibilities of the recorder. The high notes demanded of the instrument, for instance the high A and high E in the Concerto in F major, are proof of this, as are the rapid semiquaver repeated notes in the Menuett of the Concerto in C major. Telemann had a knowledge of all instruments and of their special features. An excerpt from his autobiography shows his endeavour to establish the particular qualities of an instrument and explore them.
