About this product
Here we meet Jorg Widmann as soloist, conductor and composer. With his piece Con brio, premiered in 2008, he pays a vibrant tribute to Beethoven in general and his Seventh Symphony in particular. At the head of the excellent Irish Chamber Orchestra, of which he is principal conductor, he has also recorded the aforementioned Symphony no.7, which occupies a special place among the most grandiose works of Beethoven; he himself considered the second movement to be one of his finest compositions! He wrote this symphony in 1812, when deafness was beginning to take it's toll on him, the Napoleonic Wars were raging in Russia, and he met Goethe. Richard Strauss was in his twilight years when he composed his last instrumental work, the Duett-Concertino for clarinet and bassoon with string orchestra and harp, in 1947.

![Rossini / Marangoni / Dindo - Complete Piano Music 8 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/3b446ee9-035e-4cad-ac64-811acf9fdc07.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Featuring ten premiere recordings and a number of recently discovered 'Sins of Old Age' manuscripts unassigned to specific volumes, this album brings together a notable diversity of genres and instrumentation. They include the catchy 'Allegretto' for violin and piano that Rossini used as his musical calling card, the 'Tarantelle pur sang' for choir, harmonium, clochette and piano, and a harmonization of the simple folk melody 'Marlbrough s'en va-t-en guerre' that transforms it into a little musical gem. The Ars Cantica Choir was established in 1988 in Milan and today, as a body of professional singers, has won a reputation for it's versatility and ability to tackle repertoire from the Renaissance to the contemporary.

For his first on Alpha, the clarinetist and conductor Jörg Widmann celebrates the music of a composer who wrote some of the finest pieces ever devoted to his instrument Carl Maria von Weber. With the ensemble of which he is principal conductor, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, he has recorded the Clarinet Quintet (in it's version with string ensemble) and the Concertino, composed in 1811 and 1815 respectively, along with the ever-popular Overture to Der Freischütz. The pianist Denis Kozhukhin joins Widmann to perform the Grand Duo concertant. This album is the first in a series of recordings that will also give us a chance to meet Jörg Widmann in his role as one of the most active composers of his generation.
