Description:

Like the first two releases in The Mozartistsâ?? ongoing â??Sturm und Drangâ?? series, this recording comprises three highly dramatic and turbulent orchestral works interspersed with similarly highly-charged vocal items. The repertoire dates from between 1771 and 1788, and again includes one of Haydnâ??s great minor-key symphonies â?? this time arguably the greatest of them all, the â??Trauerâ??. For the first time in the series Mozart is also represented, in the form of his extraordinarily visceral and darkly chromatic Adagio and Fugue in C minor, and the disc opens with an outstanding G minor symphony by the Czech composer Leopold Kozeluch, whose quality, sweep and lyricism will surprise many listeners. The two vocal works are genuine rarities. Schweitzerâ??s Alceste was one of the earliest attempts to create German tragic opera in the vernacular, and it launches with an aria of searing intensity. The scene from Paisielloâ??s Annibale in Torino â?? the twenty-third of his eighty-seven operas â??features an exquisite but brief arioso before leading into a stormy G minor aria. The soloist is the exciting young American soprano Emily Pogorelc, and Ian Page again conducts his award-winning period-instrument ensemble. Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Anton Schweitzer, Giovanni Paisiello, Franz Joseph Haydn, Leopold Kozeluch. - .. VOL. 3
