This album features duos composed by Georg Philipp Telemann, showcasing the social and flexible nature of duo playing. The pieces, while not originally composed for recorders, include canons and sonatas intended for a variety of instruments, allowing for broad musical engagement. Telemann's mastery of contrapuntal polyphony shines in these works, blending formal rigor with a light, elegant style. His music, influenced by changing tastes and folk elements, balances complexity and accessibility, making this album an exploration of both baroque refinement and playful creativity.
