Johann Rosenmuller - Sonate da Camera e Sinfonie

Johann Rosenmüller was a Saxon composer who escaped from prison in Leipzig and fled to Venice in 1655 after being falsely accused of having a homosexual relationship with some of his students. While these totally, completely, impossibly gorgeous "Sonate da Camera e Sinfonie" (1654-1682) were composed primarily in Venice (Rosenmüller was a trombonist at St. Mark's Basilica), they were strongly influenced by the music of Rosenmüller's early teacher, the great German master Heinrich Schütz. Scored for 8 stringed instruments, cornet, trombone, and theorbo, these chamber sonatas combine the absolute best of the conservative North German musical tradition with a healthy dash of Venetian joie de vivre and achingly beautiful pan-European melancholic contemplation. Rosenmüller's sonatas are real jewels considering when they were written, since they totally avoid the typically overdone, clichéd pyrotechnics and gaudy bravura of the High Baroque while also managing not to be sleeping pills.
If, like me, you're a little nauseated with Bach and bored with Lully, give Rosenmüller a shot. I've heard several of Hespèrion XX's other recordings and this one is THE finest. Smooth, luscious, out of this world. Can't go wrong here.

O Canto da Sibila

De todos os eventos, o mais antigo e mais largamente difundido por toda a Europa, durante a idade média, foi o Canto da Sibila. As sibilas eram profetizas muito populares nos ritos romanos, antes da Era Cristã. Uma de suas profecias fala do fim dos tempos, como foi descrito por São João no livro do apocalipse. Com o advento do cristianismo e no intuito de difundi-lo entre os "povos pagãos", esta profecia foi utilizada pela igreja como prova de que o cristianismo era uma verdade já prevista antes de sua existência. Assim, na noite de Natal, no meio da missa de meia noite, a Sibila era cantada para alertar a todos a se converterem antes do juízo final. Essa tradição se repetia todos os anos até que foi proibida em concílio pela Igreja. Por ser um evento tão popular e de tão grande importância, mesmo com tal proibição ele continuou a ser praticado em alguns lugares da Espanha até os dias de hoje.

Etienne-Nicholas Méhul - Overtures (1763 - 1817)

9 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 122Mb


Uploaded - FileFactory

Nicholas Méhul (1763-1817) is an intriguing transitional figure in French music, with a career that historically spanned the final years of the reign of Louis XVI and the heyday of Napoleon, and musically spanned the pinnacle of the classical style and the first stirrings of romanticism.Nowadays his music is hardly ever performed. The operas to which the nine pieces on this well-played disc provided the overtures - works like Mélidore et Phrosine, Horatius Coclès and Les Deux Aveugles de Tolède - have become little more than entries in a work list. But he was a forward-looking and, in his time, highly influential, composer, whose sense of musical theatre left its imprint on Berlioz and Weber especially.These overtures show how Méhul pushed at the boundaries of what could be expected of an orchestra at the beginning of the 19th century, giving it a new dramatic responsibility in the operatic scheme of things. This is no substitute for recordings of the complete operas, but is still worth investigating.

01 - Mélidore et Phrosine
02 - Ariodant
03 - Joseph
04 - Horatius Coclès
05 - Bion

Franz Joseph Haydn - deLirium

15 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 129Mb


Uploaded - FileFactory

The disc is characterized by splendid performances by the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges and Quatuor Mosaiques under the direction of Christophe Coin. Laborie's Joseph Haydn: deLerium is delightful in every way, and should easily satisfy anyone who has ever wondered about the Lire Organizzate. Franz Josef Haydn produced about a half dozen works for the Lire Organizzate, an eighteenth century hybrid of the hurdy-gurdy and organetto that by the twentieth century was nothing more than a museum instrument, with only about 20 examples extant and none playable. These works are commonly performed on recordings with a standard pipe organ in place of the Lire; however, Laborie's excellent release Joseph Haydn: deLerium stands apart in that the works are heard, for the first time in probably 200 years, on a pair of Lire Organizzate. Matthias Loibner and Thierry Nouat play reconstructed instruments built by hurdy-gurdy specialist Wolfgang Weichselbaumer that have a sweet and slightly tart tone reminiscent of an exotic brand of Viennese candy. While the Lire is obviously the star of the show, Laborie likewise includes a couple of Haydn's pieces for the Baryton, another obscure instrument favored by his patron, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, for whom Haydn found himself obligated to create more than 100 works for this rather limited, dull-toned instrument. Even in these pieces, Haydn's patented "surprises" are part of the mix; when the natural horns creep into the final movement of the "Divertimento in A for Baryton" one really notices the difference.

Part 1 - Part 2

This is the reorchestrated, German-language version of Handel's ''Acis and Galatea,'' done in 1788 for Baron von Swieten, a music patron who had fallen in love with Baroque music. In its original form, in English and lightly scored, Handel's delectable work has long been a concert and theater staple. However, Mozart's expertly crafted revision adds a bassoon as well as pairs of flutes, clarinets and horns, which adds to the orchestra's sonority and palette of colors but also subtly changes the character of the music.

J.S.Bach - Actus Tragicus

When Joshua Rifkin introduced his thesis that Bach composed most of his choral works for only one singer per part, he used the Mass in B Minor as his demonstration piece--in part, no doubt, for maximum shock effect. Since then, Rifkin's theory has made the greatest headway with performances of Bach's early cantatas--those he wrote before arriving in Leipzig in 1723. Even Christ lag in Todesbanden and the Actus tragicus, both considered canonic works of the choral literature, have benefited from fine single-voice recordings by groups such as the Taverner Consort and the American Bach Soloists. Now along comes Cantus Cölln and outdoes them all.
