[…] memories of those who heard it. Here was a splendid recreation – reconstruction suggests something far too dry – of two concerts Busoni and Egon Petri gave in London (in this very hall) and in Berlin’s Beethoven-Saal in 1922 and 1921 respectively. Where London had heard the F minor Fantasia and Berlin the Sonata for Two Pianos, London 101 years later was treated to both. According to Erinn Knyt’s informative note, Edward Dent and Jürgen Kindermann refer to an arrangement of the Sonata, but all that survives is a ‘marked up performance score with numerous annotations and suggested textual alterations,’ and a ‘cadenza handwritten in the back of the score’. I presume this is what we heard here; there were certainly numerous, delightful departures from Mozart’s letter in something akin to Busoni’s – and, I think, our twenty-first century pianists’ – spirit. The first movement began and proceeded in inviting […]

Baroque Violin Sonatas: 17th century virtuoso violin playing on a new disc from Berlin
Baroque violin sonatas Philipp Friedrich Böddecker, Johann Erasmus Kindermann, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber; Elfa Rún Kristinsdóttir, Sabine Erdmann, Magnus Andersson; Solaire Records Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 22 April 2020 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) The byways of 17th century German violin playing explored in this wonderful new disc from a trio of Berlin-based musiciansWhilst 17th century composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber is reasonably well known, his music apart from a few key works remains relatively unknown, and his contemporary (and work colleagues at the Imperial Court) Johann Heinrich Schmelzer remains perhaps only a name. With two earlier composers from the period, Philipp Friedrich Böddecker and Johann Erasmus Kindermann, even their names will perhaps seem unfamiliar.This new disc Baroque Violin Sonatas from three Berlin-based musicians, Elfa Rún Kristinsdóttir, baroque violin, Sabine Erdmann, organ, and Magnus Andersson, theorbo, on Solaire Records, goes a long way to remedying […]

Pan European Orpheus : Julian Prégardien, Teatro del mondo
[…] vocal line is pure, with minimal accompaniment, each strophe clearly defined - almost a Minnelied ! Voigtländer, who was part of Wallenstein's army in the Thirty Years War, published a well known collection of songs.Eurydice is introduced by Antri ch' o miei lamenti by Jacapo Peri (1561-1633), first performed at the Pitti Palace. Accompanied by baroque organ and muted strings, it's a stately piece, the vocal line laudatory. Similar orchestration for Nachtklag, from Johann Erasmus Kindermann (1616-1655) to a texts by Martin Orpitz, the "Father of German Poetry" and contemporary of Shakespeare. Kindermann, who came from Nuremberg and would have known of Hans Sachs as well as Orpitz, so his Opitianischer Orpheus from which several,pieces on this recording are taken, ounds like an interesting work which might be worthnhearing in greater depth. Jacopo Peri's lively Al fonte, il prato, and Fransceco Rasi's Filia Mia are followed by Claudio Monteverdi's Vi […]

[…] beyond the strife of human politics. Yetnthe Frauenkirche is a Catholic Church, seat of the Archbishop of Bavaria, an important diocese, which produced Pope Benedict XVI. Only m55 years ago, hearing Luther, or even Bach in a Catholic Church was unlikely. Thank God for Pope Paul XXIII and then Second Vatican Council. The programme featured composers connected to Nnuremburg, such as Johann Staden (1581-1634), Caspar Othmayr (!515-1553), and Johann Erasmus Kindermann (!616-1655), and concluded with Pachelbel Gott ist unser Zuversicht und Stärcke. The orchestranwas The choir was supplemented by soloists Isobel Jantschek, Yosemeh Adjei, Tobias Mäthger and Felix Schwandtke, a bass from Freiburg, who might be one to wtch : he's very good.
