I grew up in poverty always dreaming of playing an instrument but of course that was an impossible dream. Now that I am an older adult and still struggling financially, my dream is still intact. I have been able to take some music lessons with the transverse flute and I am currently teaching myself to play the soprano recorder... only to re-affirm this is the world I wish I could belong too. Music just takes me to a whole different dimension. It makes me cry. It makes me happy. It's soothing to my soul. I've been watching a lot of these videos. Just phenomenal...! This is like having direct communication from heaven!

Good on you !! You'll get there. My life was very similar I grew up poor and lived on my own from the age of twelve. After years of drug addiction and unemployment I am now doing better. I started saxophone at 24, I'm only 27 now but already doing very well on tenor sax. Chronic pain and loneliness trys to rob me of my achievements but it will never succeed as I am born to play music and will not except a life without it. Much love and good luck to you !! You will achieve if you have the passion.

Hello! I would say that if you're taking the initiative to go so far as to teach yourself an instrument, and especially if you continue to make progress here and there, you already belong to that world in a real way. It's great that you're doing that!

[@brianvanderspuy4514]

The more Telemann I hear, the more I think he is monstrously underrated. And what a lovely performance this is.

[@nikosstr7908]

To be honest, his music is much too subtle to stand out. Although his chalumeau pieces are pretty experimental for the era and paved the way for classical and romantic clarinet composing.

[@JoshuaSobel]

I agree.

[@dbadagna]

How about that suite he composed based on Gypsy fiddling? It's very wild.

[@BacaOConnell]

@@nikosstr7908 I agree, but his music being subtle is exactly why I love it so much. After listening to too much Bach is usually feel like a tiny ant, considering I was just listening to possibly the greatest composer of all time I personally feel that this is justified, so I need Telemann's beautiful music to remember that I am actually a person. It might just be me, but Telemann's music is just so human and comforting.

[@jorgepatinomedina]

You are right. In his own time, he was more celebrated than Bach. However, when Bach (as a composer) came to the general public's attention several decades after his death, his work cast an enormous shadow over the baroque era. Obviously, it wasn't Bach's fault or intention, but it happened.

[@alanbarnett718]

People always say the baroque composers weren't interested in tone colour, but this whole concerto is about the subtle contrast in tone colour between the flute and the recorder, beautifully brought out by the Bremer Barockorchester.

[@dellaroux]

The ones who say that either have never heard the actual instruments playing the work, or don't understand how tone color works. This is gorgeous

[@freshmarex3538]

I think anyone who has had anything to do with HIP of baroque music should be aware of how important tone colour is.

[@beatesetzer2441]

The interplay is like a love story

[@ThiloAbend]

And actually tone color was one of the highest principles in baroque music 😮

[@AndromedaCripps]

I think this is a common misunderstanding based on the written music- The elements of music we are familiar with today were all present but often manipulated in ways different from how we might expect, and often things like tone color don’t translate across the written music, and if we don’t see things in the score that are familiar to us from modern scores, then we don’t notice the elements there until they are played for us. In that vein, I’ve heard many a modern performance of baroque music (those performances uninfluenced by HIP) on modern instruments which falls utterly flat and devoid of color, due to these myths and an uninformed or unimaginative reading of the score. It’s a shame, we need more education on early music taught to our young musicians!!!

[@sraytho1]

We all know that the recorder was phased out as the orchestra began to grow. But, before that happened, Telemann saw it coming and created this wonderful marriage of love between the two. It was wonderful. Again, thank you Bremer B.; you are beautiful and talented people.

[@karlesmcquade2863]

The folks in this orchestra play tight! I'm not seeing 13 people, I'm seeing one organism with 13 cells. I think Telemann would've been delighted!

[@tashaschneider1419]

Sounds like a forest of singing birds! Telemann's brilliant use of woodwind instrumental music is pure joy!

[@mattgreenwood6207]

Love the smile at 6:50. A big part of enjoying music for me (of any style) is that the players are enjoying making music together.

[@worldnotworld]

Doesn't get much better than this. The pairing of flute and its sibling the recorder is so rare - usually it's a matter of a choice of one or the other - seems to have opened Telemann's imagination in a powerful way. Their solo duets in the opening are gorgeous and mysterious; the driving edge he gives he gives to both instruments in the final movement, with its heavy droning support in the strings, is incredibly powerful, and this performance makes the most of this dimensionality. Bravo!

[@Wazkaty]

I love that there is no choice and both are played. As a recorder (flûte à bec) player played with flutists ("flûtiste" en français, for recorder players too), and and we can hear the breaths mixing, beyond the notes, the energy we feel is extraordinary. I LOVE it !

[@ProgettoMemoria]

The initial duet is a solo Fantasy written for solo flute but often played by the recorder. They alternated it creating a magical duo as a perfect introduction. Telemann is the Rock star of the Baroque. Underrated and under played.

[@JorgeELopezH]

This is one of my favourite baroque concerts. Since I listened to the Tafelmusik, I became a huge fan of Telemann. What an exquisite, beautiful performance of the famous concerto in E minor for recorder and flute!

[@HaritheRenaissanceMan]

I play the flute and recorder as well as the keyboard (harpsichord, organ and piano). I must say that I've listened to this recording dozens of times - it makes me cry sometimes. Telemann's music is of course exquisite, but these performers raise the music to new heights. The slow movements are heart-rending, the fast movements breath-taking and exhilarating, while not taking things at breakneck speed just for the sake of virtuosity. The vihuela player - ¡que bueno! His continuo improvisations are bold and daring. One of the best early music groups I've ever heard in my life! Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii!

[@RussOsborn]

Well stated. I also play flute and baroque flute, and I keep coming back to this performance again and again. I feel the same way about it. What a spine tingling performance!

[@mbk4700]

"The slow movements are heart-rending, the fast movements breath-taking and exhilarating"

[@maxdavis670]

Completely agree. I felt like I was in a dream with the introduction... I didn't even realize I was listening to music, and then it brought tears to my eyes.

Telemann is the most underrated composer ever. Thank you for bringing him into the light.

[@FlamingCockatiel]

I've listened to (broad meaning) classical my whole life, yet I often feel I have heard only the popular pieces and composers. I'm going to look for more of his stuff. I heard part of a composition from him that used a bassoon and recorder and also found it mellow and listenable.

[@pseunition6038]

​@@FlamingCockatiel Bach is popular but not all of his pieces are. I enjoy typing BWV and then a random number to see an unpopular piece show up and listen to it. For example, I searched BWV 123 and I really enjoyed the result.

[@enriquecancino7519]

My introduction to music in general, and classical in particular, was a soprano recorder that my aunt Lucy gave me when I was 15 years old. She taught me one song and after I learned she said I was on my own. Today I play many different wind instruments and have even made some myself and I do it all just for the enjoyment of making sounds that are beautiful and pleasing to me, mostly! Baroque music in particular fascinates me and I agree with most of the comments that Telemann is way underrated and I can't figure why because every piece I've ever heard from me is fabulous. Cheers and keep the music alive by listening or making some as often as possible.

[@evanofelipe]

Well done Enrique yours is a great story, your Aunt Lucy opened a box of delights for you to enjoy for the rest of your life

[@psbgabriel]

I had never listened such a beautiful talk between recorder and flute.....great Telemann!!!, thank you, Bremer Barockorchester!!!

[@daveolymis8951]

That was absolutely brilliant to start this work with Telemann's Fantasia 8, split between the flute and recorder!! It was like they were wistfully calling to each other, in order to participate in an intricate dance. I've played this piece on recorder, and it is impossible not to be drawn into the emotional interaction between the two winds. Bravo Bremer Barockorchester, for this intimate rendition. And I must say Anninka's playing is both beautiful and vulnerable.

[@garynelson561]

Anninka Fohgrub is exquisite playing recorder in this piece, and Felipe Egaña's flute is masterful. The way they interplay and show the subtle differences between their instruments is beautiful. I should also note, I don't think that I've ever seen someone play guitar with seriousness and concentration of Hugo de Rodas in this video. THAT is a dedicated musician.

[@blumousey]

[@absolutenerd1989]

dunno maybe the level of play during his era was far greater then nowadays. just picture the baroque era in full glory and the harsh reality surrounding it. I can only assume people had more incentive to become better players. not to say that this sounds bad, i loved it. but i think we cant comprehend what telemann would find off this performance.

Never heard that intro to this piece before. Such a lucid and confident performance. The touch is light as possible, which is enlightening with Telemann - as earthy and human as he is. I think if I was on a desert island and I could choose one composer.... The baroque guitar is a perfect compliment to the standard basso continuo and has a distinct role throughout. Love that Turkish March - it sounds like Telemann anticipated movie scoring. Cool stops and starts.
