viola da gamba
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) was a prolific composer from the german baroque.
Usually his music is not favoured in a comparison with his contemporary countrymen Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. Quality abhors quantity in general, the more quantity, the less quality.
Nevertheless, for the dedicated music lover digging in Telemann's work diamonds appear amid the "coal".
The concerto in A minor for recorder and viola da gamba is one of those gems. The viol player Vittorio Ghielmi is my partner/opponent in this piece structured in four movements. The baroque orchestra Divino Sospiro under Ghielmi's direction accompanies us in this performance.
António Carrilho and the viola da gamba player Vittorio Ghielmi are the soloists invited by the Baroque Orchestra Divino Sospiro to perform Georg Philipp Telemann's (1681-1767) Double concerto for recorder and gamba at Centro Cultural de Belém.
