BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Simon Heighes.
5: Indian Summer. In 1755, Telemann emerged from semi-retirement to produce a group of large-scale works which marked the summit of his art and knocked loudly on the door of classicism. This programme includes the rousing Thunder Ode, commemorating the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, and excerpts from the comic opera Don Quichotte der Lowenritter and the dramatic cantata Ino - the 84-year-old composer's swansong. Repeated next Friday 12 midnight
