Georg Philipp Telemann: Ouverture-Suite in g minor, TWV 55:g8

This video is the first recording in a series of arrangements of my favorite orchestral ouverture-suites by Georg Philipp Telemann. The Ouverture-Suite in G minor, TWV 55:g8, was most likely originally written as a trio for two violins and continuo. It was later arranged as a concerto grosso for soloists and ripieni, and this version—arranged by me—is for two harpsichords. The parts are divided equally in principle, except for the sections where the 'concerto-grosso' version features dialogues between the soloists and the ripieni. In these sections, the first harpsichord takes the role of the soloists, while the second takes that of the ripieni. Preface 00:00:00 I. Apertura 00:00:33 II. Rondeau 00:09:55 III.
