Review Excerpts
These are
three particularly attractive orchestral suites from an almost
daunting legacy of some 130 such pieces from Telemann's pen.
Ward directs the modern-instrument band from his position as
first violin, securing tidy ensemble and maintaining buoyant
rhythms.. Ward brings plenty of charm and some graceful gesture
to the dances.. The Overture des Nations anciens et modernes,
like la changeante, is scored for strings and continuo. This
is a delicious piece, full of witty contrasts, and prefaced
by one of Telemann's most supple French overtures.. the playing
is anything but lifeless, and repeats are scrupulously observed..
les Nations.[is] scored for woodwind, two horns and strings
it possesses some of the hallmarks of early idiom but also a
certain flair for it. As before, the playing is rhythmic and
sympathetic.. In summary, an attractive release
