Baroque mementos

I admit to having a strong preference for the grandiose structures, orchestral complexity, melodic richness and dramatic weightiness that characterize the best of romantic music. However, I am also highly mindful of a simple notion: each musical period can offer a curious listener its individual treasures. Moreover, my first experiences in classical music were of a much earlier period than my channel might suggest. In fact, it was Handel's "Let the bright Seraphim" that first attracted me to the glories of 18th and 19th century music, and while my primary area of interest remains the 19th century, I am still listening to baroque music after all these years, having gradually expanded my horizons from Handelian masterpieces to the still undiscovered baroque jewels of Telemann. The basic premise of this playlist is, thus, to unite pieces from the period that I have found appealing in one way or another into a sequence of mementos which are deserving of continued interest. Hope you will enjoy this by no means exhaustive collection.
