Philip Pickett – conductor

“These works capture Telemann the tone-painter at his most inventive and playful, evoking a variety of aquatic tableaux and fanciful marine creatures, from singing swans to love-struck sea-gods.

Both the Wassermusik and the Alster Overture date from Telemann's early years in Hamburg, then a thriving port on the Elbe. The 1723 Wassermusik opens with a grand French ouverture, a prelude to a suite of dances that depict nautical scenes such as Naiads at Playe, all sketched by Telemann's deft orchestral colourings. The 1725 Alster Overture follows suit, though with a broader comic touch and with horns rather than flutes and recorders to the fore. Bariolage effects in the charming Frogs concerto supposedly represent croaking sounds, though I have never heard pond life this melodious.

Philip Pickett elicits vivid performances from the New London Consort. These are delightful performances, full of vitality. ---Graham Lock, BBC Music Magazine
