Info for TELEMANN & CO

Georg Philipp Telemann belongs to the auroral phases of the Enlightenment, a musician with an inexhaustible and perhaps unparalleled creative vein in terms of the breadth of his catalogue. Johann Michael Bohm was skilled in the violin as well as the flute and oboe; Johann Friedrich Fasch was a very industrious music craftsman, although reluctant to publish his own work, which appeared posthumously. The embarrassment that seizes some commentators is due primarily to little familiarity with the music included in this album, informed by a sound "individualism" and a systematic spirit, yes, but still little inclined to the rigid regularities that perhaps only the late-Romantic school imposed on the view of music.

It promotes the dissemination of the vocal and instrumental repertoire of the Renaissance and Baroque periods through its own performances on period instruments, the selection of correct historical performance practice and the rediscovery of unpublished manuscripts. The ensemble also promotes the testing and performance of contemporary music with period instruments. The members of the Arianna Art Ensemble also collaborate with various ensembles such as: Il Giardino Armonico, l'Accademia Bizantina, Concerto Italiano, Cappella Gabetta, Zefiro Ensemble, Modo Antiquo, La Chimera, Ensemble Elyma, Studio di Musica Antica Antonio Il Verso, the Baroque orchestra Les Elements and the Ensemble of Ancient Instruments of the Conservatorio Alessandro Scarlatti in Palermo.
