Ino & late works

"The cantata Ino is not over-recorded, and on this occasion is coupled with three other orchestral works, all written during the last few years of Telemann's life ... Landshamer's voice is powerful in all registers, and the timbre most agreeable ... The Akademie für Alte Music Berlin has developed a reputation as one of the finest period-instrument ensembles currently performing. In this recording the balance between voice and orchestra is such that the former is never compromised by the latter ... Overall, an enjoyable recording. Not only is the music very well played, but the sonic quality of the recording is also excellent. For those unfamiliar with Ino, this will be a delightful discovery".

"These pieces are Telemann's last known compositions. They show him to have been extraordinarily inventive into his 80s, knowledgeable about new musical styles right to the end ... Christina Landshamer is a sympathetic protagonist in Ino ... The Akademie für Alte Musik give fine accounts of the instrumental works ... Don't hesitate to try this new recording, then, but if you've not heard this gorgeous music before, Goebel's account [with Barbare Schlick as soloist in the cantatas] has lost none of its zest and may still be the first port of call".
