| The long life of John Jenkins (1592-1678) spans an era that witnessed the greatest achievements of the English viol consort composers. His outstanding contribution to this repertoire was substantial, including as it does works that conform to the strictly contrapuntal style of his predecessors in addition to those that admitted to newer, Italianate trends. |

Telemann's 'Tafelmusik' of 1733 is perhaps his most celebrated collection, and the earliest to come before the modern public. One might think of the collection as a counterpoint to the Brandenburg Concertos of Bach, showing off the composer’s skill in handling various genres and instruments.
The CD entitled 'Flute Concertos' is a highly recommendable recording (by Rainer Kussmaul and the Berliner Barock Compagney) which includes some familiar works as the 'Tafelmusik' concerto and his concerto for d’amore instruments, and also two premieres, the delicious G major concerto, and a double concerto with the wonderful Jacques Zoon.
Goldberg Magazine has now on sale 5 packs consisting of 1 magazine Nº 08 plus the 5 Star CD 'Flute Concertos' so that those who are interested in German Baroque and the music of Georg Philipp Telemann can learn more about his work while they hear the Tafelmusic concerto, one of his most renowned masterpieces. |

| One of the delights of early music is the constant rediscovery of forgotten yet outstanding composers. Few readers will know of Salvatore Sacco (1572-c.1622). Research is continuing into the biography of this southern Italian composer whose career took him north to study with Palestrina or his school in Rome and yet roughly coincided with the emergence of the baroque style championed most prominently by Monteverdi. |

| English music from the Tudor and Elizabethan periods - Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, Dowland - is relatively familiar to early music enthusiasts, but the same cannot be said of 18th century English music, including the work of composers such as Maurice Green, William Boyce, Charles Avison, Thomas Arne, John Stanley, Thomas Linley the younger and Charles Wesley. |
