Kölner Akademie- Auf Christenheit! Twv 12:B A (PREORDER)
On 13 April 1716, the long awaited heir to the Habsburg throne was born. All of Europe rejoiced, for it was expected that the Spanish War of Succession so recently ended would not rekindle into another disastrous conflict. The city of Frankfurt am Main, where emperors were elected and crowned, marked the event on 17 May with a huge celebration, and Georg Philipp Telemann contributed two large-scale works for it. The performances in the Barfusserkirche and on the Romerberg were part of a day-long series of festive activities with hours of carillons ringing and hundreds of cannon salutes - but it was music director Telemann who emerged victorious in the end. Understandably so, as the first recording of the two festive pieces reveals. These two gems further enrich our label's Telemann catalogue.
