Yet who is this ancient, who with flowing pen, full of holy fire, the wond'ring temple charms' . , . Telemann, none but thou, celestial Music's sire ... (p. w. ZACHARIAE, 1754) A somewhat extravagant image maybe, but infinitely preferable to the neglect which Telemann has suffered for much of the time since his death in 1767. To his contemporaries, however, he was the leading German composer of his day. This week's programmes include a small but representative cross-section of his enormous output of music for church, stage, court and the home.
