Ryan Layne Whitney (Telemann: Ouvertüre No. 4 in E minor, on clavichord)

Well, I have to comment on this piece, since I'm going through a Telemann phase and found it to be extremely satisfying, on this instrument too.

Hello, Ryan: Claudia sent me to your site. I had no idea what I was missing -- this is WONDERFUL! I have been a fan of your playing, and your choice of music, for decades. I still have the party favors you handed out for a Scriabin recital you gave at your Capitol Hill home about 20 years ago. Thank you so much for posting these marvelous performances. I have subscribed and duly recommend the entire civilized world do likewise.

This clavichord is full of personality and zest. What a delicious sound! I'm in love with it. Is it yours?

Despite its pedigree I just can't warm to the Gellinger replica as it sounds on YouTube. Is it possible to have another Ouvertüre from the set on the Sperrhake? Lest I be seen as the sort of critic whom Bernard Shaw described as "a man who leaves no turn unstoned", I can admit to nothing but pleasure at the many posts by RLW. Thank you, sir, for displaying your talent so; I fear many compositions would almost suffer the fate of Gray's desert flower otherwise.

Very lovely playing...no video?

It's good to see a new video out, especially a Telemann video, one of my favourite Baroque composers.

There are lots of good ideas in this one. Thanks for playing it for us.
