.. Nicola Matteis The Younger And The English Style In |
|
| Description: | This release celebrates the life and work of Nicola Matteis the Younger. Born in London to an Italian father and English mother, Matteis was immersed in the style of Henry Purcell before leaving England in 1700 for the Imperial Court in Vienna. Starting his Viennese career as a violinist, he moved up the ranks eventually becoming the leader of the court orchestra and the composer of all the ballet music for the court operas and balls. This album showcases music by Matteis himself; music written during his childhood (Purcell); music written for him (Vivaldi); by those with whom he collaborated (Caldara); and by those who may have come to know the English style through his music (Telemann and Brescianello). - .. NICOLA MATTEIS THE YOUNGER AND THE ENGLISH STYLE INThe latest release from renowned period ensemble La Serenissima celebrates the life and work of Nicola Matteis the Younger. Born in London to an Italian father and English mother, Matteis was immersed in the style of Henry Purcell before leaving England in 1700 for the Imperial Court in Vienna. All of the music on the album is - rather fortuitously - Carolean; either written for Charles II of England, or for (or in the realm of) Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. It is all too easy to think that the English style and English musicians were unknown on the continent in the early C18, but this selection of music shows that this wasn't (always) the case. There are some jubilant dances and dance suites featured here as well as a ravishingly beautiful Vivaldi concerto and two superb Chaconnes, one by an Englishman, and one by an Italian. |
