It is hard to believe that there are still works by Telemann that are new to today’s music world. Klingende Geographie (Musical Geography) is one of these. Modeled on Telemann’s Sung Geography, each movement bears what Telemann hears as the characteristic melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic features of a given region or territory. Roman Válek leads Czech Ensemble Baroque in this program recorded live in concert February 27, 2020 in Brno’s Besední dům (Community Hall.)
Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, you’ll be able to hear tonight’s program as a stream for the next thirty days, beginning tomorrow. A blue “Listen” button will appear when the link is accessible.
