I love them all. Those spare-but-rich, open harmonizations are so stunning. <br /><br />@ Chris - Telemann is slightly better known among flautists.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-68503020826852145732009-11-19T23:39:18.200-06:002009-11-19T23:39:18.200-06:00Lutheran Mass for Christmas Morning.
