For her debut recital album on First Hand Records, violinist Tessa Lark plays solo Telemann and her own Appalachian Fantasy and is joined by pianist Amy Yang on a CD devoted to the Fantasy over 300 years. Three of Telemann’s Fantasies are interspersed by works from the classical, romantic and modern eras – Schubert, Kreisler and Ravel – and there’s a connection (by way of a shared theme) between the Schubert and Tessa’s own Appalachian Fantasy, here receiving its world premiere recording. This associated film, including an interview with producer Judith Sherman, introduces the recording which was released in September 2019.
