Toccata Classics TOCC 0023 Notes JOSEF MYSLIVEČEK: VI SINFONIE CONCERTANTI O SIA QUINTETTI PER DUE VIOLINI, DUE VIOLE, E BASSO OP. 2 , One can hardly think of a large Baroque collection of sacred music that by Daniel E. Freeman needs recording worse than this one [and] this is an incredibly good start.

Reinement, not innovation, was generally All Music Guide Mysliveček’s strong suit, but he was a true pioneer in the composition of two major TOCC 0037 species of chamber music: wind octets and string quintets scored for two violins, two violas and cello. A speciality of Mysliveček’s chamber writing was his knack for These delightful trio sonatas by Georg von Bertouch (1668–1743), interspersed with pieces from “The Music-Book of Jacob Mestmacher”, enriching textures with gestures from symphonic style. In many cases, his chamber tumble blinking into the light courtesy of Toccata Classics […]. works can be performed just as successfully (or even more successfully) as orchestral Italianate in design, these sonatas compare favourably with Bach’s pieces with multiple players per part.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Since its launch in 1982, the Marco Polo label has for twenty years sought to draw attention to unexplored repertoire.␣ Its main goals have been to record the best music of unknown composers and the rarely heard works of well-known composers.␣ At the same time it aspired, like Marco Polo himself, to bring something of the East to the West and of the West to the East. For many years Marco Polo was the only label dedicated to recording rare repertoire.␣ Most of its releases were world première recordings of works by Romantic, Late Romantic and Early Twentieth Century composers, and of light classical music. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again, particularly those whose careers were affected by political events and composers who refused to follow contemporary fashions.␣ Of particular interest are the operas by Richard Wagner’s son Siegfried, who ran the Bayreuth Festival for so many years, yet wrote music more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck. To Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich, Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan), and Bruder Lustig, which further explores the mysterious medieval world of German legend.␣ Other German operas included in the catalogue are works by Franz Schreker and Hans Pfitzner. Earlier Romantic opera is represented by Weber’s Peter Schmoll, and by Silvana, the latter notable in that the heroine of the title remains dumb throughout most of the action. Marschner’s Hans

    24. SARAJEVSKE VEČERI MUZIKE 2018 Srijeda, 09.05.2018. – Petak, 18.05.2018. PROGRAMSKA KNJIŽICA Poštovani ljubitelji muzike, SVEM nastavlja tradiciju i u svom 24. izdanju donosi pregršt vrijednih muzičkih događaja koji će u deset festivalskih dana našu prijestolnicu ponovo približiti evropskim kulturnim centrima. Muzika kojoj je Festival u potpunosti posvećen tu je da oplemenjuje, da ne ostavi ravnodušnim, da potakne na razmišljanje, ali i na djelovanje. S željom da svi festivalski sadržaji ostave trag, SVEM s ponosom predstavlja 7 koncerata i muzičku radionicu koji će našu publiku povesti na uzbudljivo muzičko putovanje od španske i argentinske muzike, preko kamernih ostvarenja zapadnoevropske tradicije, do muzike Petra Iljiča Čajkovskog kojom se Festival pridružuje globalnom obilježavanju 125. godišnjice smrti ovog velikog ruskog kompozitora. Vrhunski umjetnici su i ove godine pristali podijeliti djeliće svoje umjetnosti i na sarajevskoj pozornici. Mladi pijanista Aljoša Jurinić počastit će nas izvedbom Koncerta za klavir i orkestar br. 2 Sergeja Prokoeva; svestrani Antonio Serrano na usnoj harmonici zvukom će nas odvesti u jedan drugačiji svijet; Beogradski kamerni hor uz dirigenta Vladimira Markovića otkrivat će zvučne dimenzije duhovnosti; hornista Boštjan Lipovšek udružit će snage s prijateljima i kolegama i podijeliti zadovoljstvo kamernog muziciranja; gitarista Petrit Çeku provest će nas kroz različite epohe muzičkog stvaralaštva, dok će violinista Sergej Krylov veličansvenim Koncertom za violinu i orkestar u D duru Petra Iljiča Čajkovskog dati svoj doprinos obilježavanju jednog značajnog jubileja. Ne zaboravimo i one iznimno talentovane mlade umjetnike, Saru Čano i Nikolu Pajanovića, koji će na koncertu “U susret SVEM-u” nastupiti kao potomci nekadašnjih generacija studenata Muzičke akademije u Sarajevu.

    LEIF SOLBERG, MASTER CRAFTSMAN by Martin Anderson Don’t blame yourself if you don’t recognise the name Leif Solberg: when in his early eighties he turned up at the Christmas party of the Norwegian Composers’ Union, they didn’t know who he was either. Solberg has been at best a marginal figure in Norwegian musical life, cut off from the committees of Oslo which decide who gets heard. His isolation has been both stylistic – his traditionalist craft sitting ill with the modernism that ruled Nordic roosts in the second half of the twentieth century – and literal, since he contented himself with the low-profile rewards of galvanising musical activity in Lillehammer, three hours’ train-ride north of Oslo. Yet for all the obscurity which has attended his career, Leif Solberg is an important composer – a minor master since, in all honesty, his influence is negligible and his output small, but a master nonetheless, a craftsman whose sure-handed command of his material and transparent sincerity of purpose mark him out as one whose music merits a wide audience. Nor is it only as a composer that he deserves respect: although formally retired since 1982, Solberg is the last living representative of the Scandinavian Romantic tradition of organ-playing represented at its peak by men like the Norwegian Arild Sandvold (1895–1984), Solberg’s teacher, and the Swede Otto Olsson (1879–1964). Leif Solberg was born on 18 November 1914 in Lena, a small village close by Lake Mjøsa, near Gjøvik, to the south of Lillehammer; by the age of seven he was already playing in the marching band conducted by his father, an ex-military musician who had taken up the post of organist at near-by Hoff church.
