Haydn / Schubert / Quartett - Schubert: String Quartet No. 15 / Haydn: String Quartet, op. 20 No. 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

During her lifetime Marianna Martines was a highly regarded composer. In 1772, for example, the English music historian Charles Burney praised her Inchvery well writtenInch compositions, her keyboard artistry as Inchmasterly,Inch and her own person as a singer who was Inchmore perfect than any singer I had ever heard.Inch Pietro Metastasio, her mentor, valued her talent and art just as very much as did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who frequently participated in her Inchmusical evening entertainments.Inch With these evenings, which were held Inchat least once a week,Inch she exercised a considerable influence on Vienna's music life. The cantata InchDixit DominusInch after Psalm 110 represents something like this composer's visiting card. She applied for admission to the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna with it and became the first woman ever to be accepted to this elite circle of internationally renowned musicians. Although the cantata primarily bears the imprint of Italian Early Classicism, it juxtaposes contrapuntal work in the old style with galant and empfindsam elements in keeping with those times, and her instrumentation of it is richly varied and colorful. The sacred cantata InchCome le limpide ondeInch was the starting point for the present recording because it contains as a special feature two arias with an obbligato part for salterio (the Baroque forerunner of today's dulcimer). A stirring InchStorm-and-StressInch symphony by Marianna Martines rounds off this alubm.

The Beethoven pupil Ferdinand Ries always holds surprises in store for listeners. Whether considering his symphonic music, chamber works, or vocal oeuvre (a broad selection of being available on cpo), his vibrant powers of invention, formal mastery and genial talent when it came to multiple paving of his own unique paths for the musical language of his times never fails to enthuse. The concert overture probably took shape in response to specific demands arising from the development of the concert as a public event. Ries' rousing works of this genre are now rendered audible for vinyl fans! Album Tracks 1. 01. Große Festouvertüre Und Siegesmarsch, Op. 172 2. 02. Ouvertüre Zu Schillers Trauerspiel 3. 03.
