Par SCHLEE THOMAS DANIEL. A suite whose movements always deliver something other than what they seem to promise. But throughout, the two instruments and respectively their players act like two people in very specific situations: I.: The opening movement is reserved for the piano; the initially earnest, solitary cantilena intensifies creating expectation. Suddenly II.: the violin sounds. Its movin…

Il Distratto. Par HAYDN JOSEPH. The six movements of Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 60 “Il Distratto” once served as incidental music for the comedy “Le Distrait” by Jean-François Regnard (1655–1709), which was performed at the Esterházy court in 1772. This consisted of an overture, four entr’actes – the play is in five acts – and a finale. But this composition is not merely a compilation of stage mu…

Par HOFMANN LEOPOLD. 'Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live' is one of the central biblical texts dealing with the transitoriness of human existence. Leopold Hofmann, Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna from 1772 to 1793, where W. A. Mozart was his church music assistant, also set this strongly expressive text. Hofmann's setting, in C minor, offers an austere harmo…

Proposant une approche globale et sociologique de la musique, la collection Mélomaniac s'est construite sur l'idée forte de toujours placer l'oeuvre musicale, la vie instrumentale ou la pratique vocale au coeur de l'histoire des Hommes. Qu'il s'agisse d'un Pacific 231 d'Honegger illustrant le machinisme du début du XXe siècle, d'une présentation du didjeridoo en relation avec les cultures aborigè…

Oratorium. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn composed his first oratorio Paulus under the impression of his own revival of J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829.
