Zuversicht: Works By Georg Philipp Telemann (CD, Genuin)

A guide to contentment and optimism: these are the gems from Georg Philipp Telemann’s ‘Moral Cantatas’ that mezzo-soprano Susanne Langner has collected on her new GENUIN CD. With remarkable vocal elegance, the singer, who works with renowned formations such as amarcord, the Lautten Compagney, and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, takes up the cudgels for the vocal chamber music of the great Hamburg composer, unfortunately still overshadowed by his instrumental works. A true source of beautiful melodies and witty texts, distinctively and imaginatively set!
