    Franz Josef Aumann received his musical training as a choirboy in Vienna, together with Michael Haydn and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. At the age of 25, he joined St Florian's Abbey, where he took over the choir just two years later and then directed the church music for over four decades.

    Handel's "Water Music" was performed for the frst time in 1717 at a royal celebration with a grand parade of boats on the Thames and the patron, King George I, was so enthusiastic that the young Handel had to repeat it several times.

    Here's a superbly performed collection of little-known Baroque music, all tied together through its connection to a specific place: the court of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, around 1700 (such electors were princes who picked the Holy Roman Emperor). International musical tastes ruled at Maximilian Emanuel's court – indeed, it could hardly be otherwise, since a series of poor military decisions forced the prince to relocate as far away as Brussels. He employed Italians and admired the French court as the pinnacle of pomp and ceremony.

    With their new CD Sound Stories, recorder player Stefan Temmingh and harpist Margret Koell tell stories from fve centuries, played on almost a dozen different futes and three different harps modelled on historical instruments.The resulting contrasts shed new light on the individual works and of course on the instruments for which they were composed. With their selection, which is indeed a wild, extravagant and at the same time very sensual mixture, the two artists want to express their curiosity and thirst for adventure in short musical stories. The compilation seems intuitive, but it is characterised by the experiences of both artists and the personal themes that unite them. Different musical genres such as songs, arias, sonatas, variation cycles and dance movements are skilfully combined, mostly played on original instruments from the period in which they were composed. Each work has something to tell in its own way and the result is an inspiring sequence of interwoven sound stories.

    For the year 1706, the then Habsburg vice-chapelmaster Marc'Antonio Ziani wrote La Morte vinta sul Calvario, a piece of Good Friday music typical of the Viennese court. Various allegorical figures such as "Faith", "Human Nature" and "The Soul of Adam" enter into a rhetorical dispute with the devil, who rejoices in the death of Christ. The text is of great poetic power, underlined by Ziani's magnificent music, which is very colorful and rich in contrast with obbligato instrumental parts and sometimes refined counterpoint.

    The importance of Georg Christoph Wagenseil (1715-1777) in the development of the classical symphony cannot be underestimated, and his concertos were also significant in the formation of the style of early Viennese classicism. As its chief representative, Wagenseil unites Italian, French and German stylistic elements in his works, as was typical of the 'mixed style' of the early 18th century. Moreover, he is considered one of the perfectors of the gallant-sentimental stylistic epoch which became so essential for the formation of classicism in 18th-century music history.

    Genre: Classical

    Sigiswald Kuijken ist einer der bedeutendsten Pioniere der Alte-Musik-Szene und feiert am 16. Februar 2024 seinen 80. Geburtstag. Das ganze Musikerleben hindurch ging sein Blick weit über das herkömmliche »klassische« Geigenspiel hinaus. Bereits im Studium beschäftigte er sich auf der Violine mit barocken Spieltechniken und entwickelte als bedeutenden Meilenstein in der historischen Spielweise das Geigenspiel ohne Stütze und Kinnhalter, bei dem Instrument frei auf der Schulter liegt. Das Gambenspiel hatte er bereits in jungen Jahren autodidaktisch erlernt. 2004 setzte er sich erstmals für die Wiederbelebung des Violoncello da spalla ein und spielte das auf der Schulter gespielte Cello, das in der Barockzeit das eigentliche Generalbassinstrument war und im Lauf der Geschichte völlig vergessen wurde. Man kann ohne zu übertreiben sagen, dass Kuijken als Hochschullehrer Generationen von Musikern der Alte Musik-Szene geprägt hat. Im Lauf der Zeit ist zudem eine überaus umfangreiche Diskografie mit vielen preisgekrönten Aufnahmen entstanden, die sein Wirken dokumentieren.

    Susanna comes late in the sequence of Handel’s oratorios but in some ways the composer looks back in it to his experience of Italian opera. It largely comprises a sequence of arias (many in the repeated, da capo form of opera seria) as it relates the story from the Biblical Apocrypha of Susanna who is falsely accused of adultery and eventually vindicated through the clever judicial manoeuvrings of the young prophet Daniel.

    A famous violinist and an outstanding trumpeter - Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and Pavel Josef Vejvanovsky. The two already knew each other from their education at the Jesuit College in Troppau, Silesia, and both musicians came to the episcopal court in Kromeríž. While Biber did not return from a business trip without permission after only a short time and made a career as a violinist in Salzburg, Vejvanovsky remained in Kromeríž for the rest of his life and worked there as a Kapellmeister (although as a trumpeter he was never officially given this title). The two seem to have continued to be in contact, for the Kremsier library contains several of Biber's works that were written during his Salzburg period. The fruitful collaboration between the two musicians led to a series of chamber music works in which the trumpet is used on an equal footing with the violin.

    Jean-François Madeuf and Pierre-Yves Madeuf are two of the leading exponents of the historically informed performance practice as applied to wind instruments. On natural horn or natural trumpet they can be found in many of Europe’s main early music ensembles and orchestras. On this new Accent CD, they team up with Sigiswald Kuijken’s exquisite La Petite Bande to perform a set of Georg Philipp Telemann concertos as they have never been heard before on record: using natural trumpets and horns, and bringing the pieces back to their original chamber music context.

    Amongst several delightful examples of mid- and late-baroque German solo cantatas included here, one stands out as a little masterpiece. It's a lamentation by Johann Christoph Bach, the leading composer of the Bach dynasty before Johann Sebastian. I cannot imagine any listener to be capable of hearing this music without in some way being affected by its poignancy.

    The granting of the postal monopoly for the entire empire brought the Thurn and Taxis court immeasurable wealth and Regensburg rose to become one of the most important music centres in the German-speaking world in the second half of the 18th century. Outstanding musicians were engaged for the court orchestra, the most important of whom was the oboist Giovanni Palestrini. His playing must have made a great impression on Prince Alexander and he was held in high esteem.

    The Salzburg court conductor Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber is known today as a composer of excellent violin literature. His works are appreciated by violinists for their great artistry and virtuosity. Max Gandolf, the art-minded prince archbishop of Salzburg, also appreciated the violin virtuoso at the time and brought Biber to his court.In public, Biber was mainly active at the cathedral in Salzburg, but Baroque splendour and representation were also in demand at the nearby residence: the same festive instrumental music was heard in the liturgy as well as at courtly ceremonies and banquets. Biber's collection of twelve magnificent sonatas therefore bears the title Sonatæ Tam Aris, quam Aulis Servientes - "to be used both at the altars and in the banquet halls". The instrumentation of strings with two trumpets indicate festive occasions in the presence of the prince - in Salzburg it was customary for two trumpeters to blow fanfare pieces during the princely table in the Residenzhof.

    Give each instrument what suits it best, thus is the player content and you well entertained.’ In these pieces, unenticingly called ‘Methodical Sonatas’, Telemann is as good as his word. These are delightful works, full of humour, very skilfully written and never dull. There are two sets of six sonatas each. All are played on a Baroque flute, though certain keys suggest a violin, with fluency and impeccable taste by Barthold Kuijken. His tone is alluring and his ornamentation, mainly based on Telemann’s own suggestions, faultlessly executed. A programme for performers and listeners alike. Outstanding.

Only in recent decades has his great oeuvre been gradually rediscovered.The score of his oratorio "Emperor Constantine I Campaign and Victory" was long considered lost, but was only recently rediscovered in the Esterhzy Music Archive in Budapest and is now being presented as the first time on sound recording.
