Telemann : 4th Book of Flute Quartets

A new recording of the Fourth Book of Flute Quartets by Telemann, works that do not figure in the present CD catalogues. They were published in Paris around 1752 by the composer himself and have not been reprinted in their complete form in modern editions. A print of the original edition was found by Wilbert Hazelzet in the Bibliotheque National in Paris and has been used as the basis for these performances in which the celebrated flautist himself takes the leading part. Interest in Telemann's chamber music is still growing, and these Quartets are absolute gems. A very important addition to the repertoire, not in the least because of the beautiful performances by this group of celebrated players.
