“The sound, particularly on the Esterhazy recordings, is warm and full, and performances excellent …Telemann’s inexhaustible invention is well demonstrated, these collective concertos offer the greatest interest …Concerto for 3 Trumpets etc brings a sprightly fugue, oboes dominate a gravely expressive Largo, and ending with superb interplay – an irresistible masterpiece ! The Suite opens with a folksong ‘come up and see me sometime’ and strongly characterised dances follow with a feeling for colour … Highly stimulating set – the warmest of welcomes ! (Penguin Guide 3*)
