Ensemble Meridiana explores a variety of Georg Philipp Telemann's chamber music. The pieces chosen highlight the mastery of Telemann's 'mixed taste' writing style and are a perfect display of Baroque influences from France, Germany, Italy and Poland. The ensemble's playing is energetic, vibrant an
d displays a soft touch which is ideal for interweaving the various mixed tastes within these compositions.

Also featured on this album is a recording only recently discovered not to have been composed by Telemann, but by Pierre Prowo!
