After listening to a substantial number of operas, cantatas, concertos, and chamber music left by the immensely prolific Georg Philipp Telemann, one might assume there would soon be nothing new to discover. This is far from the truth, as demonstrated by the latest production from Camerata Köln and its director, Michael Schneider. The “Six Quatuors ou Trios 1733” are not merely a continuation of Telemann’s Concerti da camera. They differ significantly: polyphonic, chromatic quirks, delicate cantilenas, highly virtuosic (and expertly executed) miniatures, and finally, a series of ancient women’s portraits in the contemporary colors of the “Getreue Music-Meister” – if anything is repeated here, it is the amazement at an almost limitless, inexhaustible imagination.
