"Telemann: Twelve Fantasias and Other Works" by Aldo Abreu & Suzanne Stumpf and Musicians of the Old Post Road (Classical Artist from Massachusetts(MA))

Aldo Abreu & Suzanne Stumpf and Musicians of the Old Post Road most recent album release is "Telemann: Twelve Fantasias and Other Works." This album contains a substantial collection of songs from the Baroque era (the 18th century) in which some pieces are played on eight 300 year old recorders from the famed Von Huene collection. "Fantasia No.6 in C minor, TWV 40:7 : I.Dolce (Tenor Recorder by Peter Bressan)" is a piece in which we find a wallowing recorder that seems to tell us a somber, yet beautiful, story. "Fantasia No.8 in G minor, TWV 40:9 : I.Largo (Bass Recorder by Thomas Boekhout)" is a fascinating song in which we hear an unusual sound, that of the bass recorder, which has an airy and mysterious sound to it with stunning, crisp and clean projection. "Fantasia No.12 in G minor, TWV 40:13 : VII.Presto (Voice Flute by Von Huene, copy of Bressan)" is a piece which features an amusing and frolicking recorder, played wonderfully with spirited charm. This album is a one aimed at transporting the listener to another time and place, and with the help of original instruments from the baroque era this task is accomplished well. Whether you are one who enjoys the sounds of the baroque era or appreciates the unique sound of woodwind instruments, then you should take in Aldo Abreu & Suzanne Stumpf and Musicians of the Old Post Road album "Telemann: Twelve Fantasias and Other Works" as it is a wonderful classical music experience.
