Info for Telemann: Suites for Strings (VRT Muziek Edition)

With his long career, inexhaustible energy and endless fantasy, Georg Philip Telemann is the central figure of the German late baroque. These colourful suites illustrate his mastery of the genre displaying a wide variety of stylised dances, descriptive or character pieces; lively and sparkling, moving and captivating but never dull!

"B’Rock launches into their mission with great relish, zest, and gusto. The album is a thorough delight from start to finish, and is highly recommended." (Fanfare)

Jürgen Gross, violin
B'Rock

The baroque orchestra B'Rock
was founded in 2005 on the initiative of harpsichordist, composer and conductor Frank Agsteribbe and double bassist Tom Devaere. The ensemble was born out of the idea of renewing and rejuvenating the early music scene. The core of B'Rock consists of twenty musicians who have specialised in historically informed performance practice. B'Rock's interpretations combine practical performance aspects and historical stylistic awareness, whereby great emphasis is placed on intensity and expressive variety.

The baroque orchestra regularly works with leading soloists and guest conductors, including René Jacobs, Jérémie Rhorer, Peter Dijkstra, Bejun Mehta, Alexander Melnikov, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Philippe Jaroussky and Dmitry Sinkovsky. Opera and contemporary music theatre form an important part of B'Rock's artistic activities. It performs at the KlaraFestival in its home town, the Oude Muziek Festival in Utrecht, the Operadagen Rotterdam, the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, the Potsdam Sanssouci Music Festival, the Holland Festival, the Styriarte in Graz, Wratislavia Cantans and the Telemann Festival in Magdeburg, among others. Throughout Europe, B'Rock has performed at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Cité de la Musique Paris, the Cologne Philharmonie and London's Wigmore Hall. Since 2013, the baroque orchestra has been artist in residence at the Flagey cultural centre in Brussels.
