Collegium 1704 – Jan Ostrý

The Paris Quartets, brimming with originality and innovative compositional techniques, secured Telemann’s international fame and prestige as a major composer. During his stay in the French capital, he performed it with a participation of the most famous French musicians of his time. Bach’s Sonata Sopr’il soggetto reale, on the theme of King Frederick II of Prussia, from The Musical Offering, is a work of astonishing beauty.
