Concerto Copenhagen - Haydndyah (Merkur Trauer Palindrom) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Concerto Copenhagen's musicians present six new InchBrandenburg ConcertosInch - based on Bach's organ trio sonatas?. J.S. Bach's six organ trio sonatas represent some of his most imaginative and attractive music - by transforming the through an orchestration inspired by the original Brandenburg Concertos, Concerto Copenhagen is offering a unique new orchestral repertoire. Oboist Antoine Torunczyk has created these six new Brandenburg Concertos with special focus on varying instrumental mixes and sizes - including flute, recorder, oboe d'amore, oboe da caccia, viola d'amore, natural horn, violoncello da spalla, bassoon.

The Concerto Copenhagen and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir celebrate the 90th birthday of Estonian composer Arvo Part. The new recording under the musical direction of the Estonian chorus master and conductor Tonu Kaljuste is the perfect 'birthday serenade' for their renowned compatriot. The repertoire includes InchSilouans SongInch, InchStabat MaterInch, InchTrisagionInch, InchBerliner MesseInch, InchFestina LenteInch with a unique combination of historical/period instruments and contemporary choral singing.

Concerto Copenhagen, the Danish National Baroque Orchestra, has developed into one of Scandinavia's leading Baroque orchestras and has earned it's place in the front ranks of the world's most fascinating and innovative orchestras of this kind. The orchestra now turns to Johann Sebastian Bach's famous Orchestral Suites. Although extensive research has been conducted for many years, it is not known when the suites were composed. Today everything indicates that the suites were written much earlier than is assumed and then merely had to be adapted to Bach's new Leipzig circumstances. It is therefore not unusual for them to be performed - as on this recording - without timpani and trumpets. Although the especially popular third suite is a ceremonious, sumptuous work, the material contributed by the wind instruments is hardly of considerable significance. The suite enjoys a top ranking on the charts of Bach's most attractive and best-loved works. Some of his most popular melodies can be found in their movements. Suite No. 2 in B minor ends with the immensely famous flute solo of the Badinerie (a InchjokeInch comparable to the Italian InchscherzoInch) frequently employed on television as a signature tune. Here the Johann Sebastian Bach we encounter is not the one who quests for deep spiritual knowledge or probes hidden aspects of the human soul. On the other hand, he rarely wrote mellower, more uplifting melodies or simpler, more elegantly designed dance rhythms than in these twenty-four movements brimming with magical variations, atmosphere, and rich color.
