0 Telemann: Trio Sonatas

"The performances live up fully to the high standard Parnassi musici has set for itself, wonderfully alert and rhythmically buoyant in allegros, while attaining a quiet eloquence in the persuasively phrased slow movements. The two violinists, Margaret MacDuffie and Matthias Fischer, have developed an apparently telepathic understanding, their exchanges in imitative passages one of the many joys of these expertly conceived performances, while the continuo work is intensely alive and positive. A thoroughly rewarding issue". --Fanfare, Michael Carter

"The performances are full of rhythmic vitality, with nicely shaded dynamics bringing expressive charm to the slow movements and the ensemble unerring in terms of intonation. The sound is beautifully smooth and ideally balanced, and completes a first-rate Telemann release." --The Strad

“…these young musicians bring both vibrancy and virtuosity to this little-known corner of Telemann’s œuvre. The music isn’t probed for hidden meaning or profundity; it’s played, and played to perfection, by an ensemble that takes it for what it is: Hausmusik, but of the highest quality. It is clearly evident that the executants not only have studied this material quite extensively, but they also enjoy bringing it to the uninitiated via their sympathetic and animated recording.” --Fanfare, Brian Robins
