Telemann forged a lasting friendship with Johann Sebastian Bach in the early 1700s and stood as godfather to Bach’s second surviving son, Carl Philipp Emanuel. Florilegium and Helen Charlston trace the points of connection and departure preserved within their music.

Helen joins Florilegium and director Ashley Solomon to perform two heartfelt cantatas. Telemann’s Ihr Völker hört and Bach’s much loved Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust BWV170.
