„Lately I have discovered Telemann for me afresh - music which I used to consider as ,cantor yarn', but which wins powerful contours and an almost sculptural imagery if you consistently work through the articulation, the phrasing and dynamics and if you base the performance on it all. It always depends on interpretation whether listening to music of a bygone era comes to a vivid experience.“
