Christoph Graupner: Concerti & Ouvertüren für Chalumeaux on Super Audio CD
Concerti & Ouvertüren für Chalumeaux
The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).
Let our eCourier notify you if the product can be ordered.

Ars Antiqua Austria meets Darmstadt

Product Information
He was a contemporary of J. S. Bach and J. J. Fux but his name is not well-known because his employer Ernst Ludwig obliged him to the function of Kapellmeister in Darmstadt: Christoph Graupner. The composer never visited Vienna in his life!
Ernst Ludwig secured the lifelong stay of Graupner in Darmstadt in 1723, by a substantial salary increase, which made him, as a court conductor, the highest paid orchestral-leader of his time and prevented at the same time that he migrated to Leipzig, where they had offered him the post of cantor. After that another 37 years followed in the service of the court in Darmstadt. Graupner eventually went blind in 1760 and therefore in the last six years of his life, was no longer actively conducting the orchestra.
The instrument chalumeau is in the spotlight on this new album of Ars Antiqua Austria, with music of the Austrian composer Graupner. The chalumeau was probably developed in the late 17th Century by the Nuremberg instrument builder and inventor of the clarinet, Johann Christoph Denner (1655-1707) and was structurally and acoustically optimized in such a way that it has been used by many composers of the Baroque period and the early (pre-) classical music period, for concerts, suites, arias and chamber music. The chalumeau is forerunner of the clarinet, but the two instruments existed parallel to each other in the 18th century. It was not until the late Baroque era the loud and powerful baroque clarinet became the more popular one and the chalumeau slowly disappeared from the musical scene.
Christoph Graupner is considered one of the most important composers for chalumeau. He knew how to use the instrument skillfully -despite its limited tonal range – for sacred and secular music, and he can be seen as one of the most innovative composers and sound experimenters of the 18th Century.
Reviews
»Ob man viele Orchesterwerke mit drei Chalumeaux in den verschiedenen Stimmlagen findet, ist eher unwahrscheinlich. Christoph Graupner, der Hofkapellmeister am Darmstädter Hof zu Zeiten Bachs, hat ein solches Werk geschrieben. Mit sicherem Gespür für die klanglichen Finessen, die eine solche Instrumentenkombination eröffnet, hat Gunnar Letzbor erneut einen interessanten musikalischen Kosmos beschritten.« (FONO FORUM, September 2012)Disk 1 von 1 (SACD)
