Immerse yourself in the intricate and delightful world of Georg Philipp Telemann's "Quadri," a captivating album set to release on November 14, 2025, under the Stradivarius label. This classical masterpiece spans 56 minutes, offering a rich tapestry of compositions meticulously arranged for recorder quartet by the Italian Recorder Quartet.
Telemann, a prolific German composer of the Baroque era, showcases his virtuosity through a diverse collection of suites and sonatas. The album opens with the "Suite à 4 in E Minor," transposed to G Minor, featuring a lively "Prélude" and a graceful "Rigaudon," followed by an "Air" and "Replique" that highlight the ensemble's dynamic range. The suite concludes with a spirited "Menuet I-II" and a lively "Gigue."
The "Sonata à 4 in A Major," transposed to C Major, presents a soothing "Soave," an energetic "Allegro," a contemplative "Andante," and a vivacious "Vivace," demonstrating Telemann's mastery of contrasting moods and tempos. The album also includes the "Concerto in D Major" from the "4 Concerti for 4 Violins," arranged for recorder quartet, featuring an "Adagio," "Allegro," and "Grave" that showcase the ensemble's technical prowess.
The "Sonata à 4 in G Minor" offers a more introspective journey with its "Andante," "Allegro," "Largo," and final "Allegro," while the "Suite à 4 in B Minor," transposed to D Minor, concludes the album with a "Prélude," "Modérément," "Réjouissance," "Courante," and "Passepied" that are as engaging as they are intricate.
"Quadri" is a testament to Telemann's enduring legacy and the Italian Recorder Quartet's exceptional artistry, offering a timeless exploration of Baroque elegance and sophistication.
