Ten years after their first joint recording (La Suave Melodia, Flora 3415), Les Timbres and Harmonia Lenis have reunited for a new recording. Surrounded by their friends, they celebrate the inventive genius of Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) in works brimming with colour, instrumentation and timbre. This recording features the complete Six Trios from 1718, in a version with carefully crafted and highly expressive ornamentation. Added to this are two rarities, trios with obbligato harpsichord from the Essercizii Musici.

Overall, these pieces hold their unique, engaging charms on this crisp, mellifluent, collaborative recording. Whether inspired by musicians from his immediate circle, or intended for the growing number of customers who subscribed to his published music, they highlight Telemann’s alert understanding of the trio form and his ability to use the spectrum of instrumental colours to hand. The booklet (in English, French and Japanese) has plenty of biographical and incidental quotes. This is a generous offering of Baroquery, for more than just one sitting.
