Georg Philipp Telemann - Meisterwerk E Explicit Lyrics

Well made collection with well known musicians. No Canary Cantata.

Ok

80 years ago, Bach was rarely performed anywhere. He was considered staid and dull. Just 50 years ago the same can be said of Vivaldi. Now they are recognized as giants. Telemann deserves to be in their company. If you want to know why, get this box. Top shelf performers in fantastic recordings. This has a huge variety of styles and genres--the only thing they all have in common is they are excellent. This isn't classical to feel superior about. Your kids will like it. Your dog will wag its tail. You won't want to stop playing it. Generally when I get a box set, no matter how excited I am after the first few disks, it starts to pall, and sameness creeps in. Not so with this box. That said, I got it from a local store for about half Amazons $80 price. Still worth it, but get it for cheaper if you can.

This is a great bargain - particularly if you grab a copy from Amazon.de (or other German online sellers), which are are selling this box set for the absurd price of 20 Euros. Even without documentation and the variable quality of some of the recordings, the sheer number of top quality recordings - including great performances by the Kuijken family and Camerata Koln - are worth it.

Good selection of music, but no literature, no booklet, nata. No telling where and when each disk was recorded either. The box is 1/3 empty.

大変貴重な曲ばかりです。音質も良く大満足です。アンサンブルが素晴らしいので飽きません。テレマン大好きです。＼(^^)／

世界唯一の録画が多数含まれていて、かつ演奏内容も抜群。大満足しています。

Trying to figure out a balanced rating for this box set is difficult because as the last reviewer said there is no literature, no booklet, nothing. Nor is there any link to a website to download any of these things. Very poor, Sony, very poor! No stars there then. So the four stars then are solely for the music which is excellent.As this year is the 250th Anniversary of Telemann's death it was always on the cards that the record companies would put together collections of his music. I already have the Brilliant Classics 50 disc Telemann edition which in many ways complements this box because there are not too many overlaps. And there is access to their website for full details and texts where necessary (see Sony it can be done).So what's in the Box? Discs 1 - 3 - 12 "Paris" Quartets; The Kuijken brothers and Gustav Leonhardt. Discs 4 - 7 - Essercizii Musici; Camerata Koln. Discs 8 - 12 - "Der Getreue Musikmeister"; Camerata Koln with vocal soloists. Discs 13 & 14 - 11 Wind Concertos; Camerata Koln. Disc 15 - 3 Concertos from "Tafelmusik" & Gamba Ouverture in D; Collegium Aureum. Disc 16 - 3 Ouverturen and a Concerto; Freiburg Barockorchester/Gottfried von der Golz. Disc 17 - 3 Ouverturen; Camerata Koln/Michael Schneider. Disc 18 - Concertos; L'Orfeo Barockorchester/Michi Gaigg, Kammerorchester Basle/Julia Schroder, Ensamble 1700/Dorothee Oberlinger. Discs 19 & 20 - Trio Sonatas for Flute; Bruggen, Kuiken brothers, Dombrecht, Bylsma, Pollard & Leonhardt. Discs 21 & 22 - 12 Sonate Metodiche; Boston Museum Trio, Bruggen, Bylsma, Leonhardt, de Vries, Mouller, van Asperen. Disc 23 - Die Tageszeiten; Soloists, Freiburg Vocalensamble, Collegium Musicum Freiburg/Wolfgang Schafer. Disc 24 - Cantatas; various performers. Disc 25 - Secular Cantatas; Soloists & Collegium Aureum. Discs 26 - 28. Opera "Flavius Bertaridus"; Soloists, Academia Montis Regalis/Alessandro de Marchi. Discs 29 & 30 - Opera "Orpheus"; Soloists, L'Orfeo Barockorchester/Michi Gaigg. TWV numbers are given except for discs 8-15 and 21-23. Discs 19 & 20 carry T numbers. Good job there is online access to the TWV verzechnis.So on to the music. Reading the list of performers is like a who's who in early music. You expect the best of the performers and by and large you get it . Camerata Koln perform over a third of the box and consistently impress in their performances they also sound wonderful from the chamber works to the Concertos of discs 13 & 14 and the Ouvertures of Disc 17. The discs of the Paris Quartets and the Methodic Sonatas are also very good. In fact all the performers at least give very good performances and some are really excellent, although I feel the discs of the Collegium Aureum do now sound somewhat dated.In fact apart from silly slip ups such as having the same performance of the Ouverture TWV 55D6 on disc 15 and 25 as well as a better performance of it on disc 17, 2 versions of TWV 52a1, some doubling up of works from Essercitzi Musici and Der Getreue Musicmeister on discs 19 & 20, and no texts or even synopsis for the choral works and operas; this is a pretty good box of a glimpse into Telemann's work throughout his life. Cautiously recommended but it could have been so much better.

Di questo autore tedesco. che nella sua lunga vita dal tardobarocco arrivò fino al classicismo, conoscevo solo alcuni brani tratti da Tafelmusik. Trovare questa ottima raccolta dei suoi capolavori è stato motivo di ulteriore conoscenza. In diversi brani si capta che Mozart conosceva la suo opera. Classificare la musica come BELLA è un concetto inutile , in generale la musica piace o non piace e questa è musica che mi piace . Il box di 30 CD a prezzo di assoluto favore comprende eccellenti incisioni degli anni 70/90 delle rinomate case discografiche HARMONIA MUNDI TEDESCA , della SEON (già collaboratrice della Philips olandese) e della VIVARTE, assorbite prima dalla Columbia Americana, a sua volta assorbita dalla Sony Music. Tutte case discografiche editrici delle grandi incisioni dei massimi ensamble e solisti propugnatori della tecnica di esecuzione allora chiamata FILOLOGICA , dicasi con strumenti antichi . Fra essi spiccano la CAMERATA KOLN, il COLLEGIUM AUREUM ed il COLLEGIUM MUSICUM FREIBURG, il soprano ELLI AMELING e gli strumentisti solisti FRANS BRUGGEN, BOB VAN ASPEREN, GUSTAV LEONHARD, ANNER BILSMA, nonchè i fratelli KUIJKEN dicasi : WIELAND, BARTHOLD, SIGISWALD. La crema della crema della scuola filologica dell'epoca. Le copertine dei dischi contengono quasi tutti i dati essenziali dei brani editi..... unica pecca ...manca un vero e proprio libretto descrittivo della vita ed opera dell'autore...... in effetti nel box c'è libero il posto da riservare ad un corposo libretto.... O hanno cambiato idea e non lo hanno più pubblicato per risparmio sui costi ...oppura manca nella mia copia, arrivata comunque sigillata e con il bollino SIAE.... In ogni caso ottimo acquisto....

Von den bisher erschienenen, mehr oder weniger umfangreichen Telemann-Editionen scheint mir diese 30 CDs umfassende Box von Sony die qualitativ beste zu sein. Einerseits deshalb, weil sie, im Gegensatz zu manch anderer, sich nicht ausschließlich auf die allseits bekannten und populären Werke beschränkt, sondern auch weniger bekannte Kleinodien wie etwa den gesamten „Getreuen Music-Meister“, die „Essercizii Musici“, die Oper „Orpheus“ usw. enthält; andererseits aber auch, da sie über weite Strecken mit wahrhaft hochwertigen Ensembles und Interpreten (Freiburger Barockorchester, Gustav Leonhardt, Frans Brüggen usw.) besetzt ist – Namen, die mancher einem von den unvergleichlich virtuosen Einspielungen des „Alten Werkes“ (Teldec) ein Begriff sein werden.Ganz gewiss könnte die hier getroffene Werksauswahl für all jene von Interesse sein, welche sich nicht nur auf kompositorischen Gemeinplätzen, sondern auch gerne einmal abseits davon bewegen; so sind etwa auch die bekannten Tafelmusiken bzw. die zahlreichen Concertos und Orchestersuiten nur in Auszügen vorhanden. Da eine wirklich umfassende Telemann-Edition meines Wissens noch fehlt, kann man gedachte Edition guten Gewissens als Supplement zu anderen Editionen erwerben.Als entschiedener Minuspunkt muss bemerkt werden, dass, so gelungen die übrige Werksauswahl auch sein mag, die Suite in D-Dur (TWF 55:D6) insgesamt gleich drei Mal (sic!) arriviert, wenn auch in unterschiedlichen Spielarten und von verschiedenen Interpreten (CD Numero 15; 17; 25); einen solch überflüssigen Luxus benötigt wirklich niemand, und an solcher Statt hätte man zweifelsohne besser getan, zwei andere Suiten mit ins Repertoire zu nehmen. Auch jener Umstand, dass der im übrigen geschmackvoll aufgemachten Box kein Booklet bzw. keine CD-Rom mit Informationen zu den einzelnen Künstlern und Werken beiliegt, darf als Kritikpunkt verstanden werden: schade eigentlich, denn so bleiben am Ende für die – nach meinem Dafürhalten – dessenungeachtet bis dato noch immer beste Telemann-Edition „nur“ vier Sterne!
