Holland Baroque – Telemann: Polonoise (2021) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

The players of Holland Baroque continue their PENTATONE journey with Telemann Polonoise. Together with violinist Aisslinn Nosky, they take the listener on a journey to the wild nature and lively folk culture of Poland, viewed through the lens of Georg Philipp Telemann, whose Polish travels left a profound mark on his compositional style. Arranged by the ensemble’s artistic leaders Judith and Tineke Steenbrink, Telemann’s Polish concertos and dances sound brisker than ever before. Holland Baroque is an original and innovative baroque orchestra that approaches baroque repertoire through a fresh and contemporary approach, with a focus on improvisation and collaborations with outstanding artists from different traditions. Telemann Polonoise is their second PENTATONE release, after their well-received Silk Baroque (2019), together with Wu Wei. Aisslin Nosky, one of the most pioneering and adventurous early music violinists of our age, makes her PENTATONE debut.

It is well-known that the baroque language is a kind of musical Esperanto whose codes spread throughout the European continent, each nation contributing to inspire, or possibly contaminate, its neighbours. Unlike the sedentary Johann Sebastian Bach who only travelled through his colleagues’ scores, his prolific friend Georg Philipp Telemann travelled throughout Europe and retained in his works the style he had discovered in Poland.

Like many of his contemporaries, Telemann seems to have been fascinated by Polish folk dances, which were very popular throughout Europe and known by various names: chorea polonica, baletto polacco, polnischer Tanz or saltus polonicus. But this music from Poland itself came from elsewhere before being transformed in turn. “After hearing the music of the taverns for just one week, one remains imbued with it for life”, wrote Telemann.

This enthusiasm is conveyed to us today by the violinist Aisslinn Nosky and her Holland Baroque ensemble, through a bouquet of works perfectly reflecting the musical whirlwind heard by Telemann in Krakow and the surrounding area. Polonié, Polonesie, Concertos-Polonois, Partie Polonois, Hanac come to recreate the joy of dance and the bitter perfumes of pipes, all drenched in an alcohol that should not be consumed in moderation. – François Hudry
