Dietrich Buxtehude: Sonatas Op. 2 - L'Estravagante (2008. Hybrid SACD)



SACD to PCM 24bit-48kHz| WV, TRACKS | 672MB

 The fantastic music of Dieterich Buxtehude enthused many people all over the world. Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Handel and Johann Mattheson came to visit him in Lübeck and took classes to elaborate their organ play and their composing skills. Besides his vocal music and the music for keyboard only two publications of his trio-sonatas are preserved.
 With the release on hand ARTS presents the second part of Buxtehude's trio-sonatas, the Sonatas op. 2. They are recorded by the ensemble L'Estravagante who present a remarkable example of Buxtehude's most beautiful music. Their interpretation makes it easy to understand why contemporaries of Buxtehude found these works so fascinating.


Tracklisting:
01. Sonata I in la maggiore BuxWV 259 - Allegro 01:20
02. Sonata I in la maggiore BuxWV 259 - Adagio - Allegro 02:28
03. Sonata I in la maggiore BuxWV 259 - Grave - Vivace - Lento 03:19

25. Sonata VII in fa maggiore BuxWV 265 - Lento - Vivace 02:42
26. Sonata VII in fa maggiore BuxWV 265 - Largo - Allegro 02:47

...The recording on hand shows in a most fascinating way that the compositions, 300 years after the death of this imposing composer, still manage to impress its listeners. However, this is also because of the beautiful interpretation of the renowned ensemble L'Estravagante with its well known musicians Stefano Montanari, Rodney Prada and Maurizio Salerno

Composer - Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707)
Performer - L'Estravagante: Stefano Montanari (violine), Rodney Prada (Viola da Gamba), Maurizio Solerno (clavecin)

ORGAN and SYMPHONY: Charles-Marie Widor - Ulrich Meldau, Daniel Schweizer and Zurich SO


Artist: Ulrich Meldau (organ), Daniel Schweizer (conductor), Zurich Symphonic Orchestra
Released: 1998
Label: Motette
Catalog N°: CD 40241
Genre: Classical
File Format: EAC-RIP | WV, IMG+CUE, LOG | 203MB | MP3 (lame) VBR-245 V0 | 97MB | COMPLETE SCANS SCANS | 26MB

...Organist Ulrich Meldau gives a demonic performance helped ably by the Symphonic Orchestra of Zurich under director Daniel Schweizer. For fillers we get "La Chasse" and "Trois Nouvelles Pieces" for organ solo, the latter being very nearly the last score that Widor composed. Motette's balance engineers deliver first-class sound, full and rich, and no doubt hard to achieve with such overpowering forces. Highly recommended.

On this CD:
01. Sinfonie fuer Orgel Orgel und Orchester g-Moll op. 42 - I. Allegro 09:55
02. Sinfonie fuer Orgel Orgel und Orchester g-Moll op. 42 - II. Andante 09:57
03. Sinfonie fuer Orgel Orgel und Orchester g-Moll op. 42 - III. Finale 06:47
04. Scherzo "La Chasse" (Scherzo der Orgelsinfonie 2 op. 13) 03:02
05. Allegro Vivace f-Moll (1. Satz der 5 Orgelsinfonie op. 42/5) 15:31
06. 3 Nouvelles Pieces op. 87 - Classique d'hier 04:55
07. 3 Nouvelles Pieces op. 87 - Mystique 05:05
08. 3 Nouvelles Pieces op. 87 - Classique d'aujourdhui 03:44
