Telemann, Platti &... - Clara Blessing - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Conversations and music lasting into the early morning hours: this is likely how one must imagine the evening of August 17, 1722, at the residence of Rudolf Franz Erwein von Schönborn in Wiesentheid Castle. “They remained until five o’clock in the morning and then departed,” the count reported the next day to his brother, the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, who had sent him his court musicians. They came from Italy, and had among them the outstanding oboist Giovanni Benedetto Platti. Together with Clara Blessing, her ensemble recreates this special evening of music-making among friends (Unter Freunden) with Italian-German masterworks of the eighteenth century.
