The Tafelmusik (table music) by Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann is perhaps his most celebrated collection of music. Telemann was a contemporary of J.S. Bach. In Telemann’s music, however, one can detect a sense of humor far more often than in Bach’s work. At the time Tafelmusik immediately was a great success, and today it is still appreciated today. Selections are performed by Musica Amphion featuring Pieter-Jan Belder.
