Christian Heim (recorder and viola da gamba) and Avinoam Shalev (harpsichord) invite you to follow Georg Philipp Telemann's road to fame via an exclusive tour of his "workshop" - unpredictable and adventurous, from heated exchanges to fanciful solo flights without a safety net. 5 different combinations of 3 instruments played by 2 musicians with music of 1 composer: Telemann intimissimo! Christian Heim and Avinoam Shalev met while playing with the Baroque orchestra "la festa musicale" and have performed together in different ensembles ever since, including Ensembe La Ninfea. This album, their first duo project, allowed them to apply their curiosity and enthusiasm to an exploration of solo and duo combinations. Their mutual inspiration and communication are a catalyst for new ideas and further cooperation.
