TELEMANN: 12 FANTASIAS FOR SOLO VIOLIN; 5 VIOLIN CONCERTOS - GRUMIAUX, IONA BROWN, ACADEMY OF ST. MARTIN IN THE FIELDS (2 CDS)

The concertos chosen (from the 20 or so that have been preserved) reveal much more variety of pace and style than one might expect from a knowledge of only Telemann's Tafelmusik or suites. Iona Brown plays delightfully throughout and the ASMF seem in their element...The soloist is marginally highlighted and the harpsichord balance is just right." - GRAMOPHONE
