Notes
If you are still looking for proof that quantity and quality need not be mutually exclusive in the case of composing geniuses, you will find plenty here. Listening and discovering is pure pleasure, wrote FonoForum when the first part of Telemann's cantatas of the French Year was released on cpo. And Vol. 2 of our large-scale and unbelievably exciting project with the world's first complete recording of a complete vintage of 72 large-scale church cantatas by Georg Philipp Telemann (Frankfurt 1714 / 15) again does justice to these statements. This time, on 2 albums, cantatas for Laetare (Sunday of the Dead), Oculi (Sunday of Lent), Easter and the 22nd to 24th Sundays after Trinity can be heard, depending on the occasion with different musical means of expression and very expressive. It is this ingenuity, this astonishing imagination, which accounts for Telemann's special status - today as well as during his lifetime. Worth discovering, not only for Telemann fans!

“… Anyone interested in 18th-century music will find this set a rewarding purchase. I look forward to the remainder of the cycle.”

“…Felix Koch is the artistic director of the Telemann Project. And you can tell: he loves this composer. And you can also hear that Koch is able to transfer this enthusiasm to his agile and transparent (historically informed) Neumeyer Consort, as well as to the young singers of the Gutenberg Soloists, who have only twelve voices. Everything is audible and balanced. As was customary at the time, the solo voices are part of the choir and blend remarkably well into the flawless overall sound… One cantata should be singled out: ‘Jesus Christus, unser Heiland’ (TVWV 1:976 for the third Easter Sunday after Trinity), for here the striking number symbolism alone is captivating… For this piece alone, the purchase of these CDs with nine cantatas was worthwhile.”
