Telemann: Cantata "Die Hoffnung des Wiedersehns" etc - REVIEW

Telemann: Cantata "Die Hoffnung des Wiedersehns" etc
Dorothee Mields (s); L'Orfeo Barockorchester, Michi Gaigg
DHM 88697901822
An unalloyed delight celebrating that most prolific, and underrated, of baroque composers. Mields sings with great poise and beauty of tone, framing the compact, eponymous cantata of lost love with a fascinating selection of arias and concertos. She's matched by vibrant playing from one of Europe's most exciting ensembles, and by a recording that captures everything cleanly and warmly.
