Antonio Salieri - Symphony in D major for chamber orchestra, "La Veneziana", Budapest Strings, Béla Bánfalvi I. Allegro assai – 00:00 II. Andantino grazioso – 03:43 III. Presto – 06:41 Antonio Salieri (18 August 1750 – 7 May 1825) was an Italian classical composer, conductor, and teacher. He was born in Legnago, south of Verona, in the Republic of Venice, and spent his adult life and career as a subject of the Habsburg Monarchy. “The composer is something of an 'odd man out’ in the history of music. After his death in 1825, he lived on as a macabre figure in music-lovers' minds, whereas his music soon sank into total oblivion - a most undeserved fate. Although there is no evidence to support them, legends, anecdotes and conjecture have repeatedly placed the responsibility for Mozart's supposed murder (by poison) at Salieri's door. As early as 1830, the Russian poet Pushkin wrote a short dramatic scene entitled „Mozart and Salieri" about the two very different composers. And in our own times, Peter Shaffer's play „Amadeus" and the film of the same name by Milos Forman have once again placed the subject of Mozart and Salieri in the limelight. Thus the theatre and the cinema have served us up with a lifelike image of Salieri the man, albeit one whose accuracy is open to speculation. But as regards Salieri the composer, we are no wiser than before. Yet Salieri dominated the musical life of the Imperial capital Vienna for some 3o years, enjoying great renown as a composer and conductor of opera, as a teacher of singing and composition - in the latter capacity he counted Beethoven, Schubert and even the young Franz Liszt among his pupils -, and not least as a musical organiser. The first edition of the Symphony in D for chamber orchestra appeared in Venice, hence the nickname "La Veneziana". There is no date on the printed score, but as this is actually the overture to Salieri's opera buffa „La scuola de' gelosi" (The school of jealousy), which was first performed in Venice's Teatro Giustiniani de San Moise on 27th December 1778, it seems likely that the symphony was published soon after this. At the time, „La scuola de’ gelosi" was enormously successful: it was translated into other languages, German among them, and figured in the repertoires of opera-houses all over Europe up to 1809. The audience is called to attention at the beginning of the Allegro assai with several loud beats from the orchestra, then the confusion begins in earnest, reflected in music of no small turbulence. In the slow middle movement, the opera composer Salieri gives evidence of his skill - justly praised by contemporaries - for inventing lyrical cantilenas. The closing Presto then fulfils expectations, bringing the symphony to a stormy and impassioned conclusion.” (from Album notes by lngeborg Allihn)
