Fairy figure, minstrel or holy virgin? Elizabeth I used all these role models as if in a masquerade to legitimize her position as monarch. Female rulers were not actually envisaged in the structures of the 16th century. They contradicted the passive, obedient and silent image of women of the time. With masque music by Byrd, Dowland, Morley, Parsons and others, ensemble feuervogel looks behind these royal masks, breaks through courtly facades and explores how the problem of role models was solved under Elizabeth I.

Homage to the powerful was nothing unusual in the Baroque era; Thomas Selle, however, took it a little further: he paid tribute to several members of his prince’s family with musical “laudations”. Selle combined the compendium with “little sacred concerts”, for secular power and religion went hand in hand. These concerts are more concerned with the everyday worries of the rural population, who hoped for consolation in religion. Thomas Sella’s work thus occupies a special position. The story is told on different levels, Neo-Latin poetry meets Bible verses, combined in a highly intellectual way with subtexts and set to moving music. It unites: longing for peace and the romance of chivalry, religiosity and absolutism, cries of triumph and contemplation, archaism and humanism, pathos and charity, luxury and humility. Thomas Selle covers the entire spectrum of human nature in all its contradictions. Thus, this work remains highly topical even in our time.

Den Comte de St. Germain (ca. 1710–1784) – übrigens nur einer seiner zahlreichen Namen – als »schillernden Charakter« zu bezeichnen, trifft das Leben, Wirken und die kaum fassbare Person nicht einmal im Ansatz! Die Einspielung bei COVIELLO beschäftigt sich hier mit dem Geiger und Komponisten (zweifellos eine seiner seriöseren biografischen Facetten) und kombiniert seine in den 1750 bzw. 1758 bei John Walsh in London publizierten Violinsonaten mit Musik eines anderen komponierenden Geigers, Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770), dessen Leben ebenfalls von Legenden umwoben ist.

In 2003, five young recorder players so impressed their teacher at the Barcelona Conservatory with their ensemble playing that he encouraged them to pursue a professional career. B-Five increasingly perfected their harmony and is now one of the most successful ensembles of its kind in the world. Reinforced by the lutenist Sofie Vanden Eynde, the musicians here dedicate themselves to the father-son duo of the same name, Alfonso Ferrabosco senior (1543-1588) and junior (1575-1628), who travelled extensively in Europe and united numerous influences in their colourful music.

At least rich Russians seemed to be susceptible to the temptations of gambling in the 19th and early 20th century, which was reflected in literature as well as music. Marcus Bosch and the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock offer here, with the requisite joy of playing, some successful examples of gambling and gambling addiction in Russian music.

Anhand zweier aufschlussreicher zeitgenössischer Textquellen ‒ das Tagebuch des Abts Maurus Friesenegger von Andechs und die Aufzeichnungen eines einfachen Söldners ‒ sowie ausgewählter Musik aus der ersten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts beleuchtet das Ensemble Paper Kite hier die Mentalität der Menschen zur Zeit des Dreißigjährigen Krieges, als in manchen Landstrichen Deutschlands Tod und Verderben Teil des täglichen Lebens waren. Insgesamt entsteht ein faszinierendes Bild dieser düsteren Zeit, aber auch der erstaunlichen menschlichen Fähigkeit, in all dem Elend noch etwas Positives zu finden.

Thomas Selle is undoubtedly one of the most exposed representatives of music in the first half of the 17th century in Northern Germany. For her recording with the ensemble The Muses’ Fellows at COVIELLO CLASSICS, Monika Mandelartz has meticulously studied musicology at the Quellenstudium and has produced new performance material from selected pieces from the extensive Selle manuscript of the Church Library Salzwedel. Many of the excellent works can be heard here for the first time on sound carriers and thus represent a welcome veritable repertoire enrichment.

Eine Oper zu erzählen ist ein ganz besonderes Abenteuer. Das gesprochene Wort soll zum einen Bilder im Kopf erzeugen, die einer Inszenierung in einem echten Opernhaus nicht nachstehen. Zum anderen sollen die Gefühle und die Spannung, die im Gesang (oft noch in einer Fremdsprache) ausgedrückt werden, nochmals in Prosa wiedergegeben werden, ohne allzu viel zu wiederholen. Das Ensemble Neue Nürnberger Ratsmusik hat Glucks Orfeo in dieser Weise bearbeitet: Wenige Sänger haben jeweils mehrere Rollen wahrzunehmen, ein Sprecher ersetzt u. a. die entfallenden Rezitative. Das Ergebnis ist hier auf COVIELLO CLASSICS zu erleben und ein gelungenes Paradebeispiel für eine fokussierte Kammerfassung.

An “exemplary instrument” was the Dreymann organ built in 1837 in the St. Ignaz Church in the centre of Mainz. This was written by someone who should know: Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck, composer, organ virtuoso, author of an organ school and expert in the service of the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt, who commissioned the construction of the instrument. Unfortunately, the organ did not survive the centuries and wars unscathed; minor repairs were made again and again, but it was not until 2015 to 2019 that it was restored from the ground up. This inspired organ professor Gerhard Gnann from Mainz to embark on a project close to his heart: students are bringing the old sound back to life; he himself is also involved, of course. The chosen works were naturally obvious: they are all by the aforementioned Rinck, who, by the way, was born in the same year as Beethoven and is thus also a 250th anniversary of this year. His works at the transition from the late classical to the romantic period bring out the fine nuances of the organ’s timbres to best advantage.

The Trio Iris sees a “communicative and amicable attitude” in Mozart's well-known bowling trio; therefore and because of the unusual line-up for clarinet, viola and piano, the work forms the nucleus of the program Homage and Inspiration, which consists of two unique pairs of works. Robert Schumann was the first composer to be inspired by Mozart's trio in 1853 - he was particularly enthusiastic about the “extremely romantic” line-up, although the romantic probably refers to the mysterious mood of his fairy tale tales op. In 1990 György Kurtág, who called his work with the same cast Hommage a R. Sch. Again, Christoph Weiss refers directly to Mozart and his mentioned attitude in his commissioned work from 2013 - this closes a fascinating circle of relationships through the centuries.
