“..an outstanding disc which I have heard with great pleasure. The five players are all very good and they play with fire and passion. These performances are what one could call ‘gestural’, with much attention to detail and showing a thorough understanding of the rhetorical character of baroque music. This is how Telemann’s chamber music should be played. I certainly hope to hear more from the Ensemble Meridiana in the near future.” musica Dei donum, Johan van Veen 02/04/2012
