This new CD on Klassic Haus Restorations can be found under the Concerti tab. Following are comments on the disc:
KHCD-2011-015 (STEREO) – Telemann: Concerto in D for 3 Trumpets, Timpani, 2 Oboes, Strings and Continuo; Concerto in D for Trumpet, 2 Oboes, Strings, and Continuo; Ouverture in C for 3 Oboes, Strings and Continuo; Vivaldi: Concerto in a minor for Piccolo RV 445; Concerto in C for Piccolo RV 444 – Saar Chamber Orchestra/Karl Ristenpart – Telemann wrote innumerable concerti and orchestral suites. This particular collection, from a mid-60s Nonesuch LP features two “entertainment” concerti and a musically graceful, highly individual Ouverture. Karl Ristenpart conducts the Saar Chamber Orchestra with an acute sense of form and style, with Maurice André, Michel Lagorce and Jacques Mas on trumpets; Helmut Winschermann, Erich Bolz and Ludwig Trenz on oboes. The Vivaldi Piccolo concerti are from another Nonesuch LP, with Roger Bourdin as piccolo soloist.
I am constantly searching for clean LP copies of Karl Ristenpart’s recordings. I am especially interested in his Bach Cantata recordings released in stereo on Nonesuch. Please keep in touch, and let me know if you come across ant of these discs; I would be interested in obtaining them. Cheers – Curt Timmons
