Donald Macleod explores music Telemann wrote especially for a trip to Paris in 1737, including chamber works for flute, violin and continuo, and a psalm setting.

Donald Macleod looks at the works Telemann wrote especially for his trip, including a selection of chamber works for flute, violin and continuo and a psalm setting performed twice at Paris' prestigious Concert Spirituel.
