S. Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude was a living link between the founder of Protestant Baroque music and its greatest master. This set of Six Sonatas without opus numbers incorporates all the principal elements in the sonata art of the Lübeck master; the serious yet daringly expressive harmony of his majestic slow movements, masterful fugal technique, DDD BUXTEHUDE: BUXTEHUDE: melodious and graceful dance movements, and technical virtuosity in the many solo movements. Sonatas, Opp. 1 and 2 are available on Naxos 8.557248 and 8.557249. 8.557250 Dietrich Playing Time BUXTEHUDE 52:35 (c.1637–1707) Complete Chamber Music • 3 Six Sonatas Six Sonatas Six Sonatas Without Opus Numbers 1-5 Sonata in G major, BuxWV 271 7:12 6-7 Sonata in A minor, BuxWV 272 7:50 8-@ Sonata in F major, BuxWV 269 8:00 #-* Sonata in D major, BuxWV 267 7:37 www.naxos.com Made inGermany Booklet notesinEnglish•KommentaraufDeutsch ൿ 1995 & (-¢ Sonata in B flat major, BuxWV 273 13:50 ∞ ª - Sonata in C major, BuxWV 266 8:07 Ꭿ 2008 NaxosRightsInternational John Holloway and Ursula Weiss, Violin Jaap ter Linden and Mogens Rasmussen, Viola da gamba Lars Ulrik Mortensen, Harpsichord and Organ Recorded at Radio House, Studio 2, Copenhagen, from 25th to 28th September, 1994 Producer: Claus Due • Engineer: Peter Bo Nielsen • Editors: Aksel Trige and Peter Bo Nielsen 8.557250 This CD was previously released on Dacapo 8.224005 • Booklet Notes: Niels Martin Jensen 8.557250 Please see the booklet for a detailed track list • This recording was sponsored by Gangstedfonden and Magister Jürgen Balzers Fond and was made in cooperation with the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (P2 Musik) • Cover Picture: Dance on the Village Square by Matthias Scheits (c.1630-c.1700) (Private Collection / AKG London) Ltd..

  • Julie Andrijeski's Cabinet of Wonders at Tregoning & Company (Nov
    Julie Andrijeski’s Cabinet of Wonders at Tregoning & Company (Nov. 12) by Nicholas Jones Cleveland-based Baroque violinist Julie Andrijeski, well-known to area audiences for her performances with Les Délices and Apollo’s Fire, premiered a new project on Saturday, November 12 in a lively concert at the Tregoning & Company gallery on West 78th Street. Surrounded by Giancarlo Calicchia’s striking sculptures, Andrijeski and friends performed fascinating works by neglected 17th-century European composers. With the support of a 2016 Creative Workforce Fellowship from the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture (funded by Cuyahoga Arts & Culture), Andrijeski is currently on research leave from her teaching and conducting duties at Case Western Reserve University. She is devoting her time to studying the enormous archive of early Baroque music for the violin, collections that are still for the most part unedited, and little performed. Spending time in this treasure trove of music, according to Andrijeski, is like visiting one of the strange cabinets of curiosities that scholars and collectors assembled in that time of scientific and artistic exploration. In such a “Wonder Chamber” — in German, a Wunderkammer — one might encounter such diverse specimens as a stuffed crocodile, a ​ nautilus shell, a neolithic axe, or a cloisonné bowl: things that fascinated and baffled the inquisitive minds of the times. A sense of discovery was evident throughout the evening. While the composers included some familiar names, such as Dieterich Buxtehude and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, we also heard pieces by the little-known German Johann Schop (ca. 1590-1667) and the Austrian violinist Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer (ca.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

  • 10.18 Mozart in Paris2 Program & Notes
    Mozart in Paris – Part 2 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Grand Quintetto (KV 360) arr. Schwencke Largo – Molto Allegro Luigi Boccherini: Sonate di cembalo e violino obbligato Op. 5 no. 1 in Bb Allegro con moto Adagio Presto assai Giuseppe Maria Cambini: Trio concertans Op 3 no. 4 in C Allegro Rondo Allegretto Johann Schobert: Sonate pour le clavecin (en quatuor), Op 14 no. 1 in Eb Allegro assai con sordini Andante Polonoise Menuetto – Trio Mozart:: Grand Quintetto arr. Schwencke Adagio Thema con variazioni Finale Performers: Sylvia Berry, fortepiano Debra Nagy, oboe Julie Andrijeski, violin Allison Monroe, violin and viola Jaap ter Linden, cello Notes on the Program: Leopold Mozart took his family (including wife Anna Maria, daughter Nannerl, and the amazingly precocious Wolfgang Amadeus) on a Grand Tour of Europe from 1763-1768 with the dual aim of educating his talented children and introducing them to all the tastemakers and nobility in Europe. He hoped they might not only be showered with gifts along the way (they were) but would also secure the most valuable item of all: a full-time job with benefits. Their five-year journey took them from provincial Salzburg to all the greatest cities and courts in Europe including Munich, Vienna, Amsterdam, London, and Paris, where the boy genius made an excellent impression. Back home in Salzburg in the late 1770s, the young Mozart was straining under the repressive conditions of his appointment and petitioned to be released from his contract. He had two professional options: secure a permanent court appointment (where Mozart insisted “one could expect to occupy a social status not too far above the cooks”) or establish a freelance career combining private patronage with commissions, publishing (engraved by subscription), and teaching.
