No eighteenth-century composer was so adept at so many musical styles as
Georg Philipp Telemann. Telemann's versatility and inventiveness kept
his musical style avant-garde during his entire life. He was not only
praised by his contemporaries but was highly respected by the next
generation: his fame was immense. Thererfore New Collegium, one of the
promising ensembles of the younger generation, has chosen for their
first CD on the Ramée label to show Telemann the chameleon, the breadth
of his musical palette. Some of the pieces will undoubtedly sound
familiar; others, such as the Italianate Trio for violin and cello
obbligato, or the pastoral Trio for two violins in scordatura, will
surely be delightful, new surprises for many. Coming in and out of
disguise with Telemann’s chameleonic notes we often find ourselves
wondering: is this truly music by just one composer, not six?
