Episode 5
Donald Macleod explores Telemann's remarkable comeback in the last ten years of his life when he wrote some of his greatest works. With the orchestral suite based on Don Quixote.
After a long break, during which Telemann's productivity fell off dramatically, he made a remarkable comeback in the last ten years of his life when he wrote some of his greatest works. Donald Macleod introduces the colourful orchestral suite based on Cervantes' novel Don Quixote, and one of the finest examples of Telemann's word-painting in his last secular cantata.
