A crate of flowers, which experts assure me are very choice and of admirable rarity: Ensemble Hesperi's crowdfunder for their disc themed on Telemann's love of gardening
[…] his plants, and Johann Gottlieb Graun too sent him specimens from Berlin where Graun was in the service of Crown Prince Frederick (later Frederick the Great). And Telemann declared in one letter to another friend: 'I am insatiable where hyacinths and tulips are concerned, greedy for ranunculi, and especially for anemones’Telemann and his passion for his garden is the theme for the new CD from Ensemble Hesperi (Magdalena Loth-Hill, Baroque violin, Mary-Jannet Leith, recorders, Florence Pitt, Baroque cello, Thomas Allery, harpsichord). This will be the ensemble's second CD, following their debut, Full of the Highland Humours [see my review]. The new disc, A Gift for your Garden will be appearing on BIS records and will feature music by Telemann, including one of his Paris Quartets and a solo flute fantasia, Handel and Graun, along with three of Scottish composer James Oswald's floral airs.Read more and support Ensemble Hesperi via their Crowdfunding page.
