À Discrétion

Under the motto ‘à discrétion’, we lavishly orchestrate three of Telemann's Parisian quartets, which he published in 1738 on the occasion of his successful trip to Paris, in the style of Couperin's instrumental suites (‘concerts royaux’ or ‘les gôut réunis’) and juxtapose them with works by his Parisian friends.
