Il Gardellino - Concertos for Various Instruments - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Carus Classics series features outstanding album productions from Carus' past library of recordings. The series has been designed exclusively by the well-known graphic artists Friedrich Forssman und Cornelia Feyll. The Philharmonia Chor Stuttgart under the direction of Helmut Wolf presents sacred vocal music from two highly gifted female composers Formally, Fanny Hensel's Oratorio to words from the Bible is reminiscent of Bach and Handel, whereas it displays the clear tonal language of the early Romantic era. The two imposing psalms by Lili Boulanger are characterized by an impressive array of sound and by a moving intensity.

Because of the imprecise signing and the stylistic near the attribution of many concerts to the brothers Graun's nearly impossible. Even the contemporary Pisendel speaks in a letter to Telemann here of InchConfusionInch, as many of the instrumental works are only sifniert with InchgraysInch. Ultimately, it should be but no matter, of which, the Graun Brothers comes this magnificent music. The excellent interpretation of this music is as easy to identify it comes from Marcel Ponseel and Il Gardellino. Album Tracks 1.

Towards the end of his stay in Berlin stated, the English musicologist Charles Burney 'Of all the sound engineers who have been in Prussian service for more than thirty years, perhaps only two, namely C. Ph. E. Bach and Franz Benda alone had the courage even to be original, the others are imitators. ' From a serf family to arise, the Benda brothers by intelligence, perseverance and diligence had worked his court musicians to widely respected. While Franz Benda (1709-1786) was from 1733 until his death, more than fifty years in the service of Frederick II. Of Prussia, his brother Georg Anton was (1722-1795) only eight years of court orchestra at before he 1750 as Kapellmeister Friedrich III. Changed from Saxe-Gotha Gotha. To mark the 300th birthday of Franz Benda Il Gardellino has recorded several concerts of the brothers for ACCENT. The recorded works underline Burney assessment, and our view of the early classical period is here enriched by wonderful, far too little known music. Album Tracks 1.
