Telemann's Heyday
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
George Philip Telemann is the quintessential Baroque composer, even in comparison with his more famous colleagues Bach and Handel. In his own day he was supremely revered — even by those two other giants of music. Tonight we'll hear one of Telemann's crown jewels, the concerto for Two Flutes, Violin and Cello in D, from members of Les Elements Amsterdam.
Later, we'll sail through the centuries as we explore familiar and unfamiliar pieces. Works by Reynaldo Hahn, Dan Becker, Virgil Thomson, Alan Hovhaness and Alex North are heard, along with a Violin Concerto by Nicolo Paganini, the haunting prelude "La fille aux cheveux du lin" ("The Girl with the Flaxen Hair") by Debussy, and the Dvorak Piano Trio No. 4 in E minor.
