Telemann: Complete Trio Sonatas for Violin, Flute & B.C

“

There is a biblical injunction that when one gives, the left hand should not know what the right hand is doing. Brilliant seems to have taken this advice to heart. The front and back of this release, as well as the cover of the CD booklet, promise us the “Trio Sonatas for Violin, Flute & B.C. (complete).” What the discs contain, as the CD booklet discusses, are the complete sonatas for violin, recorder, and continuo. Compounding its mistake, Brilliant identifies Trio Sonata TWV 42: F8 as 42:f8. Taking things a step further, Brilliant identifies the last sonata on Disc 1 as TWV 42:f1, which the Telemann catalog identifies as being for two violins or two recorders, though it was apparently played in other combinations. But to add to the difficulty of identification, the first movement is listed as Triste, while the Telemann catalog gives Adagio. Brilliant does seem to have got things right regarding the sonatas for oboe, recorder, and continuo on disc 2.
