Beschreibung

Avant-garde away from the court
Throughout his life, Frederick the Great’s musical tastes remained firmly rooted in the gallant Neapolitan style. The „young savages“ of the court orchestra grew increasingly weary of this musical monoculture, and so a new independent music scene developed away from the court in Berlin, which was completely in tune with the times and also liked to venture into new things. Xenia Löffler, the „Queen of the Baroque oboe“ (BR-KLASSIK), presents on her new album for ACCENT a fine selection of oboe sonatas and colourfully scored chamber music from the rich Berlin repertoire with works by Bach’s two sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann as well as Schaffrath, Janitsch and Matthes.

Besetzung:
Xenia Löffler (Oboe)
Daniel Deuter (Violine)
Michael Bosch (Oboe)
Katharina Litschig (Cello)
Györgyi Farkas (Bassoon)
Felix Görg (Violone)
Michaela Hasselt (Cembalo)
