TELEMANNIA
Rebaroque
The musicians in REbaroque about Telemann
The world is lucky that Georg Philipp turned down his law career and became a musician instead. How fortunate that he then wrote concertos and sonatas for all of us playing strange instruments! - Peter Lönnerberg, harpsichord
Telemann wrote no less than 498 church cantatas with an obligato part for galichon (one name for a type of lute). His music is inventive and colorful, with intricately woven middle parts that still leave run for improvisation by the continuo players - my instrument enjoys this music! - Karl Nyhlin, lute
I wonder what Telemann with all his talent, would have been doing today? Touring around the world with his rock band, astronaut, language expert and fashion designer - all at once? - Åsa Karlberg, flute
Telemann's music makes you want to play! There are plenty of moments when I feel a buzz of pleasure in my stomach and my heart beats a little faster. - Magdalena Mårding, cello
Working with this recording was such a pleasurable experience, and showed once again that REbaroque is a gathering of fantastic musicians, all contributing in their unique way to the group's wonderful energy and colorful music-making. - Maria Lindal, Artistic Director and Concert Master

VARIATIONS
Rebaroque
Rebaroque presents a swinging programme of tunes from all over Europe, fully using the possibilities of improvisation. In the hands of Rebaroque’s musicians, the most popular tunes of the past will turn into toe-tapping, captivating folk baroque music for us here today.
”Whether it is folklike baroque music or folk music in a baroque disguise beats me. There is drive and rhythm, and it completely avoids the stiff reverence with which early music is often performed. Here we find life and stamping of feet and music that is fun, just like the musicians have fun playing it.”

ROMAN - The Swedish Virtuoso
Rebaroque
Few pieces are as well known in Sweden as the first movement of Roman’s Drottningholmsmusiquen. Roman left a lot of music to posterity, but little information about himself - not even a portrait. In this programme Rebaroque presents different sides of Roman’s music, from solo, chamber, through to orchestral music, including of course Roman’s famous signature tune!
”It is an utter delight to listen to these wonderful works in such brilliant interpretations, so fresh, so genial, so clever” (Hifi & Musik)
”The energy virtually bubbles out of Rebaroque. …Not for a second does it become dull.”
(Sundsvalls Tidning)

DANCING BACH –Nominated for the Grammis Award!
Stockholms Barockorkester
We all know there is a swing in Bach - but we dare say you will not have heard interpretations like ours of good old Johann Sebastian’s music!
Like many other baroque composers, Bach was inspired by the popular dance music of his time. With his customary mastery he brings out the special character of each dance movement, creating truly enjoyable, virtuosic music - we promise you will feel like dancing.
" I suggest a dance to the folk music of Bach - that’s how fresh and bold he sounds in the Baroque Ensemble’s irreverently folklike interpretations. Maria Lindal and her fiddlers allow their bows to be driven by joy in a baroque jam session." Svenska Dagbladet
"…Like a dance of nature itself, alive and fragrant in the summer verdure." HiFi och Musik
