этот диск - пример особенностей мастерства звукозаписи немецкого лейбла mDG, не только познакомит вас со звуком предлагаемым этой фирмой, но и вполне может быть использован как тестовый диск (на мой слух mDG старается воссоздать реальное концертное впечатление в своих записях и зачастую им это великолепно удается)
Tracklist: It has too often been overlooked that, between Bach’s death (1750) and the triumphant revival of his St Matthew Passion by Mendelssohn in 1829, other composers had already investigated the œuvre of this ‘old master’. Mozart was the most fervent among them; thanks to the discoveries of Baron van Swieten, he had the opportunity to explore The Well-Tempered Clavier and make the string arrangements from it featured on this disc.
An instrumental ‘oratorio’ Haydn wrote his Seven Last Words in 1786/87 for Good Friday devotions in Cádiz. The task of composing a purely instrumental ‘oratorio’ consisting of seven contemplative slow movements was by no means an easy one; but the outcome was a work of sublime nobility, which in Haydn’s own transcription for string quartet has enjoyed unfailing popularity ever since.
Сomposer: George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), Franz Xaver Richter (1709–1789), Johann Wenzel Anton Stamitz (1717-1757), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), Franz Joseph Haydn (1732–1809)
The first release on AAM Records, the new label of the Academy of Ancient Music – recently described as “the finest period-instrument orchestra in the world” by Classic FM. Birth of the symphony explores the development of the symphony in the eighteenth century, surveying groundbreaking musical advances across Europe. The recording includes brilliant and rarely-heard works by composers of the avant-garde “Mannheim school”, Richter and Stamitz, as well as Haydn’s mature “La passione” symphony. Supplementary materials available online include a documentary film featuring AAM musicians discussing and performing these symphonies.
In composing his Pièces de clavecin en concerts, Rameau (1683-1764) created a grand work of chamber music, and at the same time, the first-ever piano trios. The independence of the instrumental parts achieved here far surpasses what Haydn, Mozart and even Beethoven did in their piano trios. It is not until Schubert that we meet with trio writing of comparably elaborate texture. Trio Arcangelo Corelli formed in 1984. At first they worked intensely on early Italian violin music, especially on Corelli’s sonatas, and therefore chose the great Roman master as their "patron saint." Based in Düsseldorf, they have given innumerable concerts and made radio and CD recordings.
David Bates directs La Nuova Musica in a pair of contrasting settings of Psalm 109. Handel's masterful and ambitious HWV282 was penned in 1707 during a youthful visit to Italy. Vivaldi's vivid and economical RV807 (his third Dixit Dominus) was long mistakenly attributed to Baldassare Galuppi; it probably dates from the early 1730s. Rounding out the programme is Vivaldi's dazzling motet for solo voice, "In furore iustissimae irae", featuring soprano Lucy Crowe.
Marin Marais, the most outstanding composer for the viola da gamba, was a master in the writing of so-called Pièces de Caractère, in which he called upon the most diverse subjects for inspiration: La Désolée (the desolate), La Guitare, Feste Champêtre (country fair), Le Tableau de l’Opération de la Taille (a description of a gallstone operation!) and so on. The choice of 'Images' in Marais’ five books of Pièces de violes is endless. A program full of worship, grandeur and sadness.
