Kuang Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice Ang - Concierto de Aranjuez - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Paul Wranitzky began composing late in life compared to his friend Mozart, but quickly rose to become the most important symphonist in Vienna by the end of the 1790s. The dramatic Grande sinfonie caracteristique pour la paix avec la Republique francoise depicts the French Revolution and France's subsequent war with Austria. Political complications saw it's performance in Vienna forbidden by Imperial decree, but this did not end Wranitzky's success at court the exuberant Symphony in D major and the charming 'Hunt Symphony', both unpublished, come from the collection of the Emperor's brother.

Paul Wranitzky moved to Vienna from his native Moravia at the age of 20, mixing with the likes of Haydn and Mozart. As the most important symphonist in Vienna in the late 1790s, his style influenced the early symphonies of Beethoven. The Symphony in D major 'La Chasse' reflects the popularity of hunting music, and is heard here for the first time in it's expanded version. The overtures to Mitgefühl and Die gute Mutter represent Wranitzky's skill as a composer for the theatre, as does the masterfully scored Symphony in C major in which the composer repurposes some incidental and ballet music. Album Tracks 1. Mitgefühl - Overture (1804) 2. Symphony in D Major, Op. 25 'La Chasse' (Pub. 1793) 3. Die Gute Mutter - Overture (1795) 4. Symphony in C Major, Op. 33 No. 2 (Pub. 1798)

The second volume in this series (Volume1is on 8.574005) continues to explore little-known examples of Auber's elegant and refined operatic music. Julie was his first stage work, it's fantasia-like beauty foreshadowing the operas, opéras-comiques and lyric dramas to come. Striking melodies and haunting episodes abound in these overtures and entr'actes, and there is restrained yet fragrant Iberian color in the overture to Léocadie. The Violin Concerto is lightly scored and gentle, with a tarantella-like finale full of folk vitality. Album Tracks 1. Le Concert À la Cour, Ou la Débutante (1824) 2. Violin Concerto in D Major (C.1805) 3. Fiorella (1826) 4. Julie, Ou L'erreur D'un Moment (1805) 5. Lestocq, Ou L'intrigue Et L'amour (1834) 6. Léocadie (1824) 7. Couvin, Ou Jean de Chimay (1812) 8.
