Composer of the Week: Telemann

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Simon Heighes.
4: Opera for All. Hamburg's opera house was one of the first in Europe to be opened to the general public. Despite his contractual obligations as a church musician, not even the threat of dismissal deterred
Telemann from writing operas for the new theatre. Simon Heighes introduces highlights from the comic singspiel Damon and the recently rediscovered Orpheus, a powerful reworking of the famous myth comparable with the masterpieces of Monteverdi and Gluck.
Repeated next Thursday 12 midnight
