The vivacity and virtuosity of La Fontaine ensures that they win the audience prize wherever they go. Baroque music doesn't get more spirited than this in, for example, Telemann’s E minor Presto.
There's a lot of Telemann on this CD, and deservedly so. Lesser-known composers provide some delightful surprises too, with sinuous oboe duetting in Quantz’s G minor Triosonata, and spirited music in the G major Triosonata by Joan and Josep Pla. |
