    2 SWR2 Musikstunde, 3.7.2013, 9.05 bis 10 Uhr Wunderkinder unterwegs. Die Mozarts auf Europareise 1763-1766 Teil 3: Paris Indikativ 0‘20 Wir haben die Familie Mozart auf ihrer großen Europareise bisher von der Salzach bis an den Rhein begleitet, mit ihnen die Erfolge in Nymphenburg und Schwetzingen erlebt und mit ihnen die Unbilden des Reisens durchlitten, als da wären gebrochene Kutschräder, schlechtes Wetter mit anschließenden Erkältungskrankheiten, teure Quartiere – und gar nicht zu sprechen von der Ernährung. Auf der großen Reise lernt Leopold Mozart sein heimatliches Salzburg zu schätzen, und insbesondere die Salzburger Küche. Von der Qualität des Brots ist er, je weiter die Reise Richtung Norden fortschreitet, immer weniger angetan. Es ist, wie er im September 1763 aus Koblenz schreibt, „mehrenteils schlecht gebacken, das Mehl schwarz, wie wir denn in diesen Gegenden gar keine Mehlspeise bis itzt gesehen haben, denn sie können hier keine machen.“ Wenigstens kann Mozart eine Reihe von Konzerten platzieren und nimmt in Mainz, Frankfurt und Koblenz einiges Geld ein. Paris ist das große Etappenziel, Paris, weil dort die musikalischen Möglichkeiten unbegrenzt scheinen. Dabei schätzt Mozart die französische Musik überhaupt nicht. Von Jean Philippe Rameau, der bedeutendsten Autorität findet sich in seinen Briefen kein Wort, und französische Clavecin-Musik wie zum Beispiel Rameaus La Dauphine von 1747 dürften die Mozart-Kinder auch nicht gespielt haben. Dafür hören Sie jetzt Gilbert Rowland mit La Dauphine. Musik 1: CD track 20 2:57 Jean-Philippe Rameau, La Dauphine Gilbert Rowland, Cembalo Naxos 8.553048 LC 5537 3 Rameaus La Dauphine, das letzte Stück des Komponisten für Cembalo solo aus dem Jahre 1747, dürfte auf ein konkretes Ereignis zurückgehen, denn Anfang 1747 hatte der französische Thronfolger, der Dauphin Louis Ferdinand, in zweiter Ehe die sächsische Prinzessin Maria Josepha geheiratet.

  • Early Music Segment Catalogue
    Early Music Mysticism to Majesty - the era of Early Music While the chronology of early music may resist an exact defi nition, the advancement of European musical styles portrayed in this catalogue takes us on a fascinating journey from the emergence of gregorian chant (c.750) up to the development of early Baroque music (c.1600). Vocal, instrumental, sacred and secular works are gathered either in discrete discs of the more celebrated composers from the Mediaeval and Renaissance periods, such as Leonin, Perotin, Byrd and Monteverdi, or appear in themed compilations: French chansons, German lute songs, Italian dramatic laments, for example. Life during those distant eras is brought vividly to life through the music. The exuberant and bawdy 11th- and 12th-century texts of Carmina Burana, spread by itinerant scholars and clerics, remind us how Latin was a pan-european language that superseded those of individual nations. The madrigals of Carlo Gesualdo, the calculating murderer of his wife and her lover, play out against the untouchable status that a Venetian nobleman then enjoyed. With the absence of lighting and sets, the dramatic importance of music in Shakespeare’s plays is underscored by the musical subtleties created for his texts by composers contemporary with the bard. The artistic interest shown by influential rulers is reflected not only in the sound of the compositions, but also in the splendour of their presentation. The works of Desprez, de la Rue and Willaert were as beautiful to look at through the glorious calligraphy of the A-La-mi-Re manuscripts as they were to listen to.

  • Avisonensemble.Com Reviews Charles Avison Sonatas for Harpsichord
    reviews Charles Avison Sonatas for Harpsichord Opus Op. 5 and 7 The Avison Ensemble Gary Cooper (harpsichord), Pavlo Beznosiuk and Caroline Balding (violins), Robin Michael (cello) 2 CDs on Divine Arts, dda 21215 • MusicWeb recording of the month November 2010 • Final release in the Avison Ensemble's complete recording of Avison's orchestral and chamber music … superbly crafted melodic gems … performances notable for their wit, elegance and refinement … a very welcome and refreshing release International Record Review Marc Rochester The 12 sonatas on this disc are something of a hybrid between the Trio Sonata and the accompanied Keyboard Sonata. In his excellent notes, Simon Fleming suggests that the model for this type of sonata comes from Rameau, but he adds ‘Avison created a new species of sonata that was largely peculiar to the North East'. More than that, we are told that this type of sonata was a ‘popular genre in the north east'. I wonder if those who inhabit the north east of England today are aware that, in the eighteenth century, their forebears, were fans of such elevated music; and I can't help wondering what might have now supplanted the harpsichord sonata in the life of present-day Tynesiders. Enough of idle speculation. The booklet also tells us Charles Avison was a ‘little known Newcastle born composer'; something which came as a surprise to me since my childhood seemed to be surrounded by Avison's music. My father, himself avisonensemble.com 1 having spent some of his formative years in the north east, possessed several copies of pieces by Avison, which he played with great enthusiasm; it was one of these that he gave me to learn at my first organ lesson with him.

Every track represents a brief ‘sample’, not only of the technical side of the SACD, but also of the artists’ musical interpretation. Many music lovers like these samplers because the tracks can be completely different from one another in instruments and styles. Always a surprise! Channel Classics continues to be fully committed to the Super Audio CD format. We believe that offering the highest quality of sound recordings to the public is a logical answer to the changing circumstances in the recording industry. For whatever medi- um the public uses in the future, at least the original recording will be of the highest quality in stereo and multichannel. Channel has been developing ties with China during the last two years by introducing SACD technology and recording in Beijing and Shanghai. We have created a sub label for these recordings called ‘Channel of China’. By recording traditional instruments like the Erhu, the Pipa along with the China National Symphony Orchestra, we are indeed looking forward and backward by creating a new series of recordings with some of the most talented newcomers on the Chinese musical scene. also available: CCS SA SEL 2603 volume 1 CCS SA SEL 3404 volume 2 CCS SA SEL 3705 volume 3 ‘All of this is presented in multi-channel SACD that is as brilliant and natural as you will hear anywhere’ ....
