Mdi Ensemble Brandi - Systema Natuae - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For this recording of the Concerti a quattro for recorder, oboe, cello and harpsichord, the Ensemble Bradamante offers an original perspective on works following the same logic, that of highlighting each instrument separately, distancing themselves from the trio sonata and drawing closer to the concerto a molti stromenti. The journey begins in Italy with Corelli, who developed the musical form of the concerto grosso, as in his famous Concerto fatto per la notte di Natale. It ends with Vivaldi, whose Concerto RV 103 features the lyrical recorder in the solo parts while the oboe oscillates between the roles of ripieno and of solo partner, concluding in a whirlwind of colour. This programme also includes works by French and Germanic composers; the Chaconne en trio of Jacques Morel, the Concerto a quattro of Handel (the paternity of which has recently been called into question as it seems it should be attributed to Telemann) in a musical style marked by an intense expressivity, not forgetting the remarkable and very rarely recorded Concert de chambre of Jean-Joseph Mouret, a man of the Provence region exiled in Paris, known above all for his stage music. The Ensemble Bradamante offers it's listeners a bouquet of pieces of chamber music with various, intense characters, where the warm, friendly dialogue between the wind instruments is supported by the rich sound of the continuo.

Johann Evangelist Brandl was a versatile composer considered by his contemporaries to be 'one of the most estimable composers of our time.' His output covers every standard genre of his day except for keyboard music. Roughly 70 songs from his pen appeared in print; his church music was left unpublished; his Six String Quartets op. 17 bear a dedication to Joseph Haydn. Particularly striking in his chamber music is his scoring for both strings and winds, with special importance accorded to the bassoon. On this new , the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz under the baton of Kevin Griffiths present an early work and a late work- the Symphony op. 12 in E flat major and the Symphony op. 25 in D major. The Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz is the largest and most important orchestra in this federal state. Based in Ludwigshafen, it is considered the leading symphony orchestra of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region and offers a diverse repertoire ranging from the great symphonies to music theater and filmscores.
