Hi all: All this talk about 18th century horn music made me think I should pass along this news. In 1736, Telemann published another set of six orchestral suites akin to the Tafelmusik he had issued a few years earlier. Telemann was engraving this set himself and was delayed by his wife leaving him and returning to her home in Frankfurt. There were no surviving copies of this printed set, but a few manuscript copies by Christoph Graupner survived in Darmstadt, but only for a few of them.
Dr. Peter Huth discovered a unknown copy of the 1736 print in the Russian State Library in Moscow Russia, and has published a new edition of these pieces. Pratum Integrum (an early music ensemble based in Moscow), has just released these suites in their complete recording of all of Telemann suites. There is a Youtube clip of the recording sessions available. Fantastic performances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7KaP8R8ZWc&feature=related Enjoy Kim _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
