Composer of the Week: Telemann

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Simon Heighes.
3: Freelance in Hamburg. Telemann was one of the first musician-entrepreneurs, refusing to be fettered by the chains of his official duties and determined to be free to give concerts under his own supervision and for his own benefit. This programme includes some of his most popular concert fare, excerpts from rarely heard choral works in praise of the city's great and good, and the Water Music suite originally written for the centenary celebration of the Hamburg admiralty in 1723. Repeated next Wednesday 12 midnight
