Works by Telemann New York Performances

Georg Philipp Telemann’s music sits at the center of German Baroque life, written for courts, churches, and the emerging public concert scene. At David Geffen Hall, the New York Philharmonic and violinist Augustin Hadelich place Telemann alongside J. S. Bach and Paganini in an artist-spotlight program that traces how violin writing moved from rhetoric to display. New York has heard Telemann for more than a century, though his revival here has largely been shaped by the early‑music movement rather than the main symphonic stage. His best pages show craft and clarity, even when the emotional temperature stays measured.
