About The Record:

Heritage of the Baroque, by Telemann Society, "consists of secular music in bravura style...that is, virtuoso solo music. A comparison of these works, which cover the entire period between 1600 and 1750, underlines the remarkably rapid development of high virtuoso technique during the Baroque era. This trend away from the intellectual and toward the gymnastic continued into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, producing some rather grotesque breaches of good taste, but the eighteenth century was a time which enjoyed an optimum balance between musical substance and virtuoso display." (liner notes). Orchestra features: Theodora Schulze, Dorothy Walters, John Dennison, and Harold Kohon, under the direction of Richard Schulze.
