Music reviews of Telemann: Twelve Fantasias for Violin Solo; Gulliver Suite for Two Violins
Music Review: A Baroque Microcosm
Rating: 5 Stars
There is a whole baroque cosmos contained in these little pieces, a grand tour of affects and styles from learned to GALANT: graceful sicilianas alternate with austere SONATA DA CHIESA-like movements, and quasi-fugal pieces are followed fast on the heels by gauche country-fiddle dances. Andrew Manze, the baroque violin superstar of our time, finds an abundance of expressiveness and wit in what seems on the page to be conventional baroque rhetoric. His playing is sparkling, nimble, and characterful. His astounding technique is married to a beautiful CANTABILE tone, a bold sense of fantasy and humor, and a sure feeling for the structure, pacing, and affects of the tiny movements that make up the fantasias. This is an extravaganza not to be missed by any fans of baroque violin playing.
Description of Telemann: Twelve Fantasias for Violin Solo; Gulliver Suite for Two Violins
Telemann's musical imagination and inventiveness are astonishing. He is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most prolific composer in history (over 7,000 pieces!). Yet even when he turned pieces out by the dozen, as he did here, each one had its own character and individual ideas. Andrew Manze plays each one stylishly, although I would no more recommend listening to all of them together than I would advise hearing all of Bach's music for solo violin. Try a few at a time. The little Gulliver Suite, which brings the timing up to 78 minutes, is a charmer. --Leslie GerberGeneral CDs
