About this product
Venice ca. 1700 having recently arrived from France, the instruments a la mode- the oboe, bassoon, baroque recorder, and flute traversiere- go on to conquer the musical centers of the Serenissima. The versatility of these new woodwinds inspires Vivaldi at the Ospedale della Pieta and his compatriots Caldara and Lotti at San Marco throughout their lives, whether in Venice, Rome, Vienna, or Dresden. This interest in wind instruments also carries over to the next generation of Venetian composers such as Galuppi, whose career plays out in his hometown, or the emigrants Platti and Brescianello beyond the Alps. For centuries, the imperial chapel in Vienna was characterized by a particular affinity for Venice- and it was with an eye to this historical connection between Vienna and Northern Italy that oboist Elisabeth Baumer founded the Austro-Italian Ensemble Affinita with musician friends in 2012. The ensemble's debut recording brings together imaginative interpretations of well-known works such as Vivaldi's Concerto RV 103, exciting rediscoveries, and a world premiere recording of a remarkable oboe sonata by Ferrandini.

![Jean Muller - Complete Piano Sonatas 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/eb8604f8-877b-4248-8886-b0c9a5c8a1a3.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
These are special performances and as a group make a highly effective addition to Jean Muller's intended Mozart cycle. I hope that the next volume will not be delayed too long. I found the disc a sheer joy from start to finish and I hope others do too. (MusicWeb International) The present is the third volume in pianist Jean Muller's Mozart Piano Concerto project, and features the Sonatas Nos. 10, 2, 8, and 16. Muller has performed Mozart's complete piano sonatas in concerts across the globe, on stages like the Shanghai Oriental Art Center in 2016 and the Salle Cortot in Paris in 2018/2019. He receives outstanding reviews from the industry's leading media (BBC Music Magazine, Classica, Concertclassic, Diapason, Fanfare, Fono Forum, Gramophone, International Piano, Pizzicato, ResMusica, Stereoplay etc.) and has been a featured cover artist for International Piano Magazine. His recordings are regularly broadcasted around the globe, and he has on several occasions had the opportunity to perform live on the famous program InTune on BBC Radio 3.
