Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) to jeden z najbardziej płodnych kompozytorów, nie tylko epoki baroku, ale również w odniesieniu do całej historii muzyki. Jego twórczość obejmuje ponad trzy tysiące utworów. Z tej bogatej spuścizny można czerpać bez końca. Ale potrzebny jest ciekawy pomysł, aby stworzyć album nie tuzinkowy, inny od pozostałych. I tak się stało w przypadku tej płyty. Debiut zespołu Elephant House Garden w wytwórni Pentatone. Muzycy, bardzo doświadczeni, a pośród nich spotykamy także polskiego skrzypka Arkadiusza Golińskiego, prowadzą słuchacza przez wiele odcieni twórczości kompozytora. Może jesienią jeszcze mocniej możemy to odczuć, kiedy świat drzew mieni się tyloma barwami. Przez fantazje solowe po sonaty i suity oraz jeden z kwartetów napisanych podczas pobytu w Paryżu. Piękny muzyczno-wykonawczy entuzjazm

Elephant House Quartet invites the listener for a stroll through the colourful oeuvre of Telemann himself a gardening enthusiast presenting a bouquet of chamber-musical jewels. Telemann’s Garden ranges from excerpts of solo fantasias for violin, flute and harpsichord to a sonata for viola da gamba and basso continuo, a trio sonata for violin, recorder and basso continuo, a suite for violin, flute and basso continuo, as well as one of the quartets Telemann wrote during his Paris sojourns. These pieces together constitute a fascinating portrait of one of the most prolific and successful composers of the Baroque era.

Elephant House Quartet is a Baroque ensemble featuring virtuosos on each instrument in wonderful interaction, consisting of recorder player Bolette Roed, violinist Aureliusz Goliński, gambist Reiko Ichise and harpsichordist Allan Rasmussen. Telemann’s Garden marks their PENTATONE debut.
