Some contemporaries never meet, others remain connected for life: For example, George Frideric Handel and George Philipp Telemann first met in Halle at the beginning of the 18th century and deepened their friendship through years of correspondence. Telemann was not only a passionate letter writer, but also learned to love gardening in his adopted home of Hamburg. From London, Handel supplied the amateur gardener with rare flower bulbs. In general, the friendship blossomed magnificently: there are 117 musical ideas that Handel adopted or parodied from Telemann. The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra devotes itself to some examples of these, supplementing it with the third great composer of the time, Johann Sebastian Bach. Although Bach and Telemann did not exchange botanical gifts, they were just as close on a familial and musical level.
