It is in excellent hands with the violinist Tomás Cotik… because a musician of great size is ‘talking’ here, as witnessed by his earlier recordings, which extend from Telemann, Bach and Schubert to Piazzolla. Thanks to the idiomatic touch, Cotik really makes this music swing, but he also knows how to hit the lyricism in the slow parts. This is ‘entertainment’ on a high level

Tomás Cotik tackles these pages with a great sense of style, exhibiting a truly expressive performance in slow movements…and a very solid technique in rapid and virtuosic episodes.

Telemann’s Fantasias…have recently gone through something of a rediscovery and are increasingly being performed by first-rate violinists. One such is Tomás Cotik…The overall feeling that comes through here is of a performer who genuinely enjoys presenting this music.

His latest album…may be his finest achievement yet, at least rivalling his 2019 account for that label of Bach’s Complete Sonatas and Partitas. Cotik’s Telemann is impressive on all fronts as a technical achievement that will spur the interest of other performing artists and for a sensual beauty that should appeal strongly to listeners everywhere. Cotik performs all this music, and more, with such style and flair that he almost makes a daunting task seen easy.
