Telemann encountered gypsy music in 1706 as he was leaving Poland, and the experience inspired him, notably in the last movement of his concerto for recorder, flute, and strings. Works by Telemann and Bach are paired with selections from the Uhrovska collection of 1730, a remarkable compilation of 18th century gypsy music that clearly displays the influence of these anonymous virtuosi on their famous colleagues.
