Review by Bruna Meda

Album Review: Orchesterwerke by Georg Philipp Telemann (1981) Alright, let’s dive into this gem of a classical album—Orchesterwerke by Georg Philipp Telemann. Released in 1981 under the Telefunken label, it’s a Baroque masterpiece brought to life by two incredible orchestras: Concentus Musicus Wien, led by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and Concerto Amsterdam, conducted by Frans Brüggen. This isn’t just another dusty old recording; it’s vibrant, full of character, and packed with some serious musical swagger. Why You’ll Love It Telemann was a genius at blending styles, and this album showcases his ability to mix joyous dance rhythms with intricate instrumental textures. The musicians here don’t just play—they breathe life into every note. From Maurice André’s trumpet flares to Gustav Leonhardt’s clavichord wizardry, there’s so much detail that you’ll find something new each time you listen. Now, if I had to pick standout tracks (because who has time for all of them?), I’d go with Ouverture D-dur Für Oboe, Trompete In D, Streicher Und B.C. and Konzert A-dur Für Querflöte Solo, Violine Solo, Streicher Und B.C. These two stuck with me for different reasons. Track Highlights 1. Ouverture D-dur… This one kicks off with such regal energy—you can almost picture powdered wigs and fancy court dances. The interplay between the oboe and trumpet is ridiculous in the best way possible. David Reichenberg on oboe delivers these smooth, buttery lines while Maurice André’s trumpet bursts through like fireworks. There’s a moment mid-track where everything slows down briefly before launching back into a lively section—it feels like catching your breath during an epic rollercoaster ride. 2. Konzert A-dur… If the first track is about grandeur, this one is pure charm. Flutist Frans Vester and violinist Jaap Schröder have this playful dialogue going on, as if they’re trading secrets over tea. The Largo-Vivace transition is my favorite part—it starts slow and dreamy but then BAM! Suddenly everyone’s running around like kids at recess. It’s impossible not to smile listening to this. Little Details That Make It Special The credits alone read like a who’s who of early music legends. Anner Bylsma on cello? Check. Lilian Lagaay rocking the oboe? Double check. And let’s not forget Nikolaus Harnoncourt himself playing violoncello on certain tracks. These folks weren’t just performers—they were storytellers, bringing Telemann’s vision to life with passion and precision. Final Thoughts Listening to Orchesterwerke feels like stepping into a time machine—but without the weird paradox stuff. It’s rich, layered, and endlessly fascinating. If you’re new to Baroque music, start here. If you’re already a fan, well, you probably already own this record. Either way, it’s worth revisiting. Oh, and here’s a random thought: Telemann wrote over 3,000 pieces of music in his lifetime. THREE THOUSAND. That’s more than Bach AND Handel combined. Makes you wonder what he’d do with TikTok, doesn’t it? Final verdict: 9/10. Not perfect, but close enough to make you want to grab a wig and hit the dance floor.

About Georg Philipp Telemann Concentus Musicus Wien Conducted By Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Concerto Amsterdam Conducted By Frans Brüggen

German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist (14 March 1681, Magdeburg, Germany - 25 June 1767, Hamburg, Germany). Telemann was one of the most prolific composers in history and was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the leading German composers of the time. He was compared favorably both to his friend , who made him the Godfather and namesake of his son , and to , whom Telemann also knew personally. Telemann's music incorporates several national styles: French, Italian, and Polish. He remained at the forefront of all new musical tendencies and his music is an important link between the late Baroque and early Classical styles. As a child he showed considerable musical talent, mastering the violin, flute, zither and keyboard by the age of ten and composing an opera (Sigismundus, on a text by Postel). His family did not approve of his involvement in music, and upon his mother's insistence, he entered the University of Leipzig to study law in 1701. Within a year of his arrival in Leipzig he founded the student Collegium Musicum with which he gave public concerts (and which Bach was later to direct), wrote operatic works for the Leipzig Theater, and in 1703 became musical director of the Leipzig Opera and was appointed organist at the Neue Kirche in 1704. Needless to say, he dropped the study of law and pursued his career in music. Telemann held important positions in Leipzig, Żary, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches. Throughout his life he composed a year's worth of cantatas for regular church services and 78 services for special occasions totaling 1,043 cantatas, 40 operas, 600-700 orchestral suites, 44 passions, along with numerous concerti, sonatas and chamber music for various instrumental combinations.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Orchesterwerke* by Georg Philipp Telemann, released in 1981, features not one but two legendary conductors—Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Frans Brüggen. Each led their own ensemble, with Harnoncourt conducting Concentus Musicus Wien and Brüggen leading Concerto Amsterdam. It’s like a Baroque dream team collaboration, blending historical instruments and styles to bring Telemann’s music back to life. Oh, and fun detail—Harnoncourt himself played the violoncello on some tracks! How often do you see a conductor doubling as an orchestra member?
