Georg Philipp Telemann is undoubtedly one of the composers who wrote the most parts for the recorder. No wonder, as he had mastered the instrument since his childhood and provided it with rewarding parts not only in chamber music, but also in orchestral and vocal works. The young Portuguese recorder player Joao Francisco Távora studied in Porto and Leipzig and presents here works for recorder by Telemann in various scorings which demonstrate his his extraordinary playing technique and interpretative skills.
