Info for Telemann: Quatuors parisiens

After their first recording on Alpha, Conversations , featuring rarely heard pieces by Quentin and Guillemain, Anna Besson (flute), Louis Creac'h (violin), Robin Pharo (viola da gamba) and Jean Rondeau (harpsichord) continue to introduce the public to the riches of a repertory that has been too long ignored, with this recording of Georg Philipp Telemann's Nouveaux Quatuors parisiens.At the height of his glory, the German composer left Hamburg in 1737 to spend time in Paris and appreciate the city's vibrant musical life. There he composed a new set of quartets that came to be called the Paris Quartets and in which he celebrated the union of the European styles of his time, at the zenith of the Baroque.The four musicians and friends of Nevermind pursue their exuberant conversation, as virtuosic and eloquent as ever.

Anna Besson, flute
Louis Creac’h, violin

Jean Rondeau, harpsichord

NEVERMIND
is a young group of four musicians and friends from the Conservatoire Supérieur, Paris, whose love for early music and jazz and traditional music led them to come together to form an ensemble whose virtuosity equals their passion for the music they perform...

Thus, it is therefore natural and undeniable pleasure NEVERMIND was created to share the music they love and to reach the widest possible audience, transcending the quartet repertoire (flute, violin, viola da gamba and harpsichord) of the 17th and 18th centuries. The many concerts given by the ensemble have only strengthened their convictions: the friendship that is blossoming between these four musicians shines with passion and the pleasure of playing, all supported by a striking complicity.

'There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people ' said Van Gogh. It is this aspect of the artist, far from the image of demiurge that tends to lend him , that all NEVERMIND seeks to convey to the public: the music sharing and is not (no longer ) reserved for the elite or public Insider!

NEVERMIND defends the idea of a music transmitted through the gift of self and whose magic can not operate without the complicity of the public ... and this complicity is born with the most natural thing in the world: the smile.
