About this product
In 1722, Christoph Graupner missed being appointed as the new cantor of St Thomas' Church in Leipzig by a hair and not Johann Sebastian Bach. But Graupner's employer, the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, refused to let him go. He knew exactly what a talented court conductor he had obtained around ten years prior. He was skilful at composing operas, cantatas, symphonies, concertos, chamber music and piano works and was therefore worth every penny of his handsome salary. Graupner imaginatively filled even small sacred works with life, producing great expression in even the most modest instrumentation using subtle voice leading. This is what we hear in these works, which are performed just as Inchagilely, nimbly and often with joyful and declamatory vigourInch (Klassik-Heute) as the first recording of these so-called InchDialogue CantatasInch.

At long last and after a long wait more symphonies by Johann Nepomuk David on cpo! InchWhat a great master! He dealt sovereignly with counterpoint and polyphony; his works are so richly nuanced instrumentally, of such memorable motivic design, that one just has to be captivated while listening.Inch This is what Concerti wrote after the of his Symphonies Nos. 1 and 6. The Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4 also demonstrate that Johann Nepomuk David was one of the leading Austrian composers who pursued a harmonic path all of his own. Although David takes an intellectual approach, he never fails to offer sensuous moments of fascination. Accordingly, the character of Symphony No. 2 is distinguished not only by great vitality but also by a vital musical imagination. There are three themes (instead of two, as in the tradition of the Viennese classical composers), and their derivation and further elaboration no longer occur dialectically but purely contrapuntally, that is, linearly, on the basis of mutual links (sometimes between all three themes at high points), derivations, and combinations.
