V5: ANTHOLOGY

WHEN!

Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber was one of the most important violinists and composers of the 17th century. Within Anne Schumann's interpretation, his sonatas on the rosary can be seen as a collection of short stories.

The central intention of the edition Haendeliana Hallensis is to preserve and present the richness and variety of the music culture and tradition at and around the Handel place of Halle. Volume 2 of this edition demonstrates the capacity of treasures selected from the collection of historical keyboard instruments at the Handel House. The double CD brings in relation the keyboard work of three composers affiliated to Halle, who spent around 1800 an important period of their lifes in the city and thus each distinctly formed regional music culture. Daniel Gottlob T�rk and Johann Friedrich Reichardt resided till the end of their days. Within T�rk's oeuvre keyboard music fills an important place; while keyboard compositions by his contemporary Reichardt or his student Carl Loewe mark a kind of curiosities. During their life times and long after their aesthetic value have been underestimated. Only through a gradual understanding that these works should not be compared with those of Beethoven, but instead regarded as specimens of an independent genre which arose during the same period in Central and Northern Germany, can they be appreciated and enjoyed for their beauty, melodic invention, rhythmic sophistication and certain interesting harmonic developments. This CD intends to propose new impulses to this discovery.

Johann Georg Fincke (1680-1749), about whose life circumstances we can hardly more than speculate today can be considered as one of the most important Thuringian organ builder of his time for his artistic legacy with good reason. With the Fincke-organs of the town church of St. John in Neustadt / Orla, in the Protestant branch church in Altenbeuthen and that of the Lutheran parish church Vierzehnheiligen Rainer Goede is on this CD to three central Orgelbauten from the workshop Fincke. For the recording, which is published as part of the successful querstand CD series "organs in Thuringia," the organist chose works that are both temporal and technical-aesthetic closely related to the respective organs, thereby opening up the repertoire of music the now largely forgotten, Thuringia, acting a generation before Bach composer Andreas Armstroff, Johann Heinrich Buttstedt and Nicolaus Vetter.
