Neudauer Cappella Aquileia Bosch - Violin Concerto / Romances - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Shortly after Luigi Boccherini's death on 28 May 1805, two journalists in Leipzig and Paris agreed that he had been Inchan excellent cellist capable of bewitching audiences with the incomparable sound and expressive melody of his instrumentInch and Incha wonderful cellist. He especially charmed us with his incomparable sonority and the very expressive song of his instrument.Inch However, posterity in the nineteenth century was most unkind to him, allowing him to InchsurviveInch thanks to a Minuet chosen at random, transposed for and endlessly churned out by every possible instrument (and even the voice), a somewhat InchdoctoredInch concerto, and finally editions of a small batch of Inchsonatas for cello and pianoInch adorned with an improbable arsenal of technical and performance markings far removed from the Boccherinian spirit. Bruno Cocset pays tribute to one of the precursors of the Golden Age of the cello by recording five sonatas based on the manuscripts of the extensive Noseda Collection of the Milan Conservatory. He is accompanied by his partners from Les Basses Reunies, Maude Gratton, Bertrand Cuiller (harpsichord), Emmanuel Jacques (cello continuo) and Richard Myron. Album Tracks 1.

Lena Neudauer attracted international attention when at the age of fifteen she not only spectacularly won the Leopold Mozart Competition in Augsburg but also was awarded practically all the special prizes. And Matthias Kirschnereit has long enjoyed international renown, even though he eschews the glamorous world of stardom. We have now brought together these two most highly talented musicians for a recording of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Orchestra, a work with a tradition extending from Bach and Baroque music by way of Mozart and Haydn to early romanticism. In the second early work heard on this album, the Violin Concerto in D minor, the legacy of classicism and that of Bach's highly regarded son Carl Philipp Emanuel, are clearly audible. For Mendelssohn's teacher Zelter and contemporary audiences the musical aesthetic of the late eighteenth century continued to dictate taste. Both of these early concertos attest to an authentic boy genius and an acclaimed public favorite! Album Tracks 1. I. Allegro 2. II. Adagio 3. III. Allegro Molto 4. I. Allegro 5. II. Andante 6. III. Allegro

Philip Glass has become an iconic figure in American music. His works are often inspired by collaborations with other leading musicians, and the proposal of an InchAmerican Four SeasonsInch by the violinist Robert McDuffie to reflect Vivaldi's famous masterpiece resulted in a concerto which evokes the Baroque spirit of early 18th-century violin tradition. With the Concerto's range of moods, listeners are invited to decide for themselves which season the music evokes. The Violin Sonata sees Glass's melodic and harmonic language haunted by the ghosts of Brahms, Faure and Franck, Inchthe meditative-ness of this piece bringing a unique energyInch for award-winning violinist Piotr Plawner.
