Kolektion: BaroqueJan Pieterszoon Sweelinck is one of the principal composers in the 16th- and 17th-century Holland. As far as we know, Sweelinck only left Holland on one time. Nevertheless his works show Italien/Venetian influences, English/virginalist elements and knowledge of spanish composers. The growing cultural importance of Amsterdam in Sweelinck´s day probalbly explain his knowledge of contemporary European music. At the beginning of the 17th century, many organists travelled not only from Germany but also Poland and Sweden to Amsterdam to study under the famous Sweelinck. Later his Hamburg pupils Heinrich Scheidemann and Jacob Praetorius founded a sort of ‘Sweelinck outpost’ in Hamburg. They passed on their pupils what they have learned in Amsterdam. Léon Berben plays the pieces of Sweelincks und his pupils brilliantly at St. Jaque’s Church in Liège. This organ was reconstructed in the style of the late 16th century, following Sweelinck´s large organ in Amsterdam. RK 2205 | edition raumklang | Total: 67:32 |

Kolektion: BaroqueSubkolektion: Lute
Johann Sebastian Bach himself did not play the lute. Could his lute music really have been played on the lute as specified - or was it intended all along for a lute harpsichord of the type found in Bach`s estate? Two of the suites of this recording are expressly stated „pour la Luth“ or „pour la luth o cembal“. However, some notes were not feature of the common solo instrument of the era, the 13-string lute with a D minor tuning. Axel Wolf performs Bach`s lute music on a 14-string archlute, a theorbo lute - an instrument which could well have been played by one of the Italians employed at the court orchestra in Dresden. This recording is full of tranquility and intimacy found by Axel Wolf prior to the recording in the little Johann Sebastian Bach.
Axel Wolf studied the guitar and lute under Hans Michael Koch. After attending master classes held by Nigel North and Hopkinson Smith, he also studied under Rolf Lislevand. Since completing his degree course in the guitar in 1986, Axel Wolf has taught at Hanover Academy of Music and Theatre. In 1988 he teamed up with Simone Nill (recorder) and Robert Sagasser (viola da gamba)to form the ensemble La Sfondrata. Four years later, La Sfondrata won a prize at the Festival of Early Music in Utrecht. Axel Wolf played the lute in a number of wellknown ensembles such as Musica Fiata (Cologne), Ars Antiqua Austria, and the London-based Gabrieli Consort &Players. Axel Wolf has appeared at numerous international festivals,including inBoston, Bruges, New York and Tel Aviv. Axel Wolf is a frequent guest at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, performing under the baton of Harry Bicket and Ivor Bolton. He has also worked with conductors such as Peter Schreier, PaulMcCreesh,Lajos Rovatkay and Alan Curtis on opera, concert and CD productions. village church in Polditz/Saxony RK 2203 | edition raumklang | Total: 74:45 |

Subkolektion: Flute
Michael Form (recorder), Rebeka Rusó (treble & bass viol), Dolores Costoyas (theorbo), Dirk Börner (harpsichord)
Jacques Martin Hotteterre’s compositions are among the most substantial works of French chamber music from the early 18th Century. The two volumes of Pieces pour la flûte-traversiere have particular significance within his wide-ranging œuvre, much of which reveals didactic intent. Never before had a musical language of such expressiveness and sublime intimacy been realised in composition for a wind instrument. Aside from this multifaceted suites, the Airs et brunettes -with a bounty of original ornamentation- and the Sonates en trio -based on Arcangelo Corelli’s triosonatas- provide a particularly good impression of Hotteterre’s stylistic diversity. Michael Form has chosen the recorder for the interpretation of Hotteterres flute music. Alternative arrangements were of course a welcome means of ensuring a wider dissemination of musical works - and a common practice among composers of the time. For the majority of the suites which descend below the range of the treble recorder in f’, Michael Form decide to use a flûte de voix in d’ -with his warm timbre this instrument gives the pieces a special charm. Contenu: Les compositions de Jacques Hotteterre font partie des plus riches œuvres de musique de chambre française des premières décennies du 18ème siècle. Au sein de son œuvre variée, les deux tomes des Pièces pour la flûte traversière tiennent une place à part, également sous des aspects didactiques. Jamais auparavant, une langue sonore aussi expressive, aussi sublime de ferveur, ne fut inventée pour un instrument à vent. Au-delà de cettes suites aux nombreuses facettes, les Airs et brunettes (croulant sous les ornements originaux) ainsi que les Sonates en trio (prenant appui sur les sonates en trio d’Arcangelo Corelli) offrent une bonne impression de la diversité stylistique de Hotteterre. Pour interpreter cette musique Michael Form a choisi la flûte à bec. Pour les suites qui descendent en-dessous du registre de la flûte à bec alto en fa’ - presque toutes -, Michael Form a décidé d’utiliser une flûte de voix en ré’. Avec son doux timbre cet instrument donne la musique une charme exeptionelle. |

Instrumentarium Lipsiense (III)
Thomanerchor Leipzig
Leipziger Concert
Dorothee Mields, sopran, Gotthold Schwarz, bass
This is an exceptional kind of CD. Quoting from the work of Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries, it tries to illustrate with its choice of pieces a few of the characteristic, but also some of the exceptional, Bach instrumental combinations. Special attention is brought to instrument makers from Bach’s Leipzig milieu, the illustrative pieces for which, when possible, use original instruments from the Musical Instrument Museum. This CD recording offers the unique opportunity, with the Ricercare a 6 (BWV 1079/5), of experiencing a Hoffman (Martin Hoffman, musical instrument maker) ensemble of five viola da gambas and a violin.The Leipzig Concert Ensemble are specialists of early music and play with historically correct instrumentations appropriate to each piece. |

Italian Love Cantatas and Chamber Music
Das Bouts Ensemble wurde 1999 gegründet. Die Musiker, allesamt Spezialisten auf dem Gebiet der Alten Musik, hatten in den unterschiedlichsten Kombinationen bereits mehrfach bei anderen Gelegenheiten zusammen musiziert, bevor sie sich zum Bouts Ensemble formierten, um in flexibler Besetzung Kammermusik des 18. Jahrhunderts in historischer Aufführungspraxis zu pflegen. Mit ihrem unterschiedlichen musikalischen Hintergrund bilden sie eine Mischung, die Alte Musik lebendig und facettenreich zum Erklingen bringt.
The Bouts Ensemble is a chamber music ensemble devoted to the repertoire of the "high" baroque and pre-classical periods - ca. 1725-1775. Through performance of works by both famous and unjustly neglected composers, the group aims to contribute to a greater appreciation and understanding of music from this endlessly fascinating period. The members of this young group use their extensive experience in historical performance practice on period instruments to bring to this repertoire the virtuosity, vitality and intelligence that it demands. |

Graun was a prolific composer and wrote almost 130 trio sonatas, of which only a few are dated. It was difficult for these musicians to choose just four sonatas from such an abundance of works due to their quality and consistency. They have tried to highlight the various facet’s of Graun’s works. |
