Tzimon Barto - Introduction & Allegro Appassionato / Geistervaria - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Hardly any biographical information about the composer Martin Christian Schultze has been handed down to us. On the cover of the Trattamento dell'harmonia, which was engraved and published in Paris in 1773, we find his name with the initials InchM. C.Inch and InchD. B.Inch (InchM. C. Schultze D. B.Inch), which according to the RISM signifies InchMartin Christian Schultze from Berlin.Inch The six symphonies contained in this collection may be understood as harmonic treatises. They have been written very much in the Italian style, and in them we find very many polyrhythmic elements running through all the movements - for example, frequent triplets against sixteenths. In addition, at the time Schultze must have had an outstanding gambist by his side who was able to render this extremely demanding gamba part. The violin part with many double stops and virtuosic passages likewise presupposes some talent. By contrast, the flute part more probably would have been written for an amateur. Here these pieces are interpreted by the Klingekunst Ensemble, whose members base their work on well-founded occupation with historical performance practice but also always assign foremost importance to vibrant musical communication.

In 2016, almost three hundred years after the composition of Georg Caspar Schurmann's Die getreue Alceste, Barockwerk Hamburg presented a semi-scenic performance of this opera in the atrium of the Hamburg State Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Culture. Ira Hochman founded the ensemble Barockwerk Hamburg in 2007 with the goal of rediscovering both vocal and instrumental chamber and stage music from the Baroque era and bring it back to life. The ensemble draws particularly often from the rich tradition of Hamburg, which not only attracted numerous great musicians during the 17th and 18th centuries, but also the public and patrons from all over Northern Europe. The permanent cast of Barockwerk Hamburg consists of 15 instrumentalists and singers. However, the ensemble cooperates closely with other Baroque specialists and adapts the cast to the requirements of different programs. It's members include musicians with international experience as well as up and coming talents from Hamburg University of Music and Drama. Album Tracks 1. Die Getreue Alceste 2. Ouverture 3. Atto 1 4.
