In October 1737 Telemann took up a longstanding offer to visit Paris where he was welcomed with open arms. Donald Macleod looks at the works Telemann wrote especially for his trip, including a selection of chamber works for flute, violin and continuo and a psalm setting performed twice at Paris' prestigious Concert Spirituel.
