Happy holidays. Beautiful festive Christmas Baroque music from someone not named J.S. Bach or Handel.
Telemann, partnering with hymnologist Erdmann Neumeister, were influential in shaping the German sacred cantata in the early 18th century. It was to have a profound effect on the likes of J.S. Bach, Fasch, Graupner, etc in their own compositions to come.
今年聖誕佳節聽的相關節慶音樂走德國路線。
