He composed about 20 operas, most of them before 1700. It was, however, his numerous chamber duets in cantata form – following, with considerable melodic and structural distinction, the models of Luigi Rossi, Giacomo Carissimi, and Alessandro Stradella – that won for Steffani a European reputation.

Label: NEW PAN 10201 Our Price: $19.00 Quantity in Basket: none P.FR. ANTONIO SOLER (1729 – 1783) – EL DIABLO VESTIDO DE FRAILE Preludio No. 1 in D minor; Preludio No. 5 in D major; Preludio No. 7 in C major; Sonata SR 74 in D major; Sonata JN 11 in G minor; Sonata SR 18 in C minor; Sonata SR 81 in G minor; Sonata SR 37 in D major; Sonata SR 10 in B minor; Sonata SR 90 in F sharp major; Sonata SR 100 in C major; Sonata SR 84 in D major; Pastoral de la Sonata SR 96 in E flat major; Minuetto de la Sonata SR 92 in D major; Fandango Diego Ares (born in Vigo, 1983) studied with Jacques Ogg at the Royal Conservatory of the Hague, and with Richard Egarr in Amsterdam, from whom he continues to receive advice. In 2004, he undertook further study at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland, where he obtained his harpsichord diploma with distinction. As a soloist, Diego Ares has given concerts in Spain, France, Switzerland and Holland (… in the last two Utrecht Early Music Festivals). “I will never forget the day when, at the age of 13, I first heard one of Antonio Soler’s pieces on the radio. Ever since that day, fascination for his music has not ceased to accompany me and, now taking the first opportunity of dedicating a recording to his works for harpsichord, I could not resist choosing from all the sonatas I like and preparing a chain from them. It is a single tale within which Soler evokes bucolic and sometimes stormy landscapes; sometimes, it is the song of a blind man with his hurdy-gurdy, whilst at other times, it is the song of a majo courting his beloved. Between castanets and mandolins, a tender message is hidden; it is the sincerity of a monk who being misunderstood and envied inside the monastic cloisters but who marvelled the court when sitting at the harpsichord.” (Diego Ares) |

Label: NEW PAN 10212 Our Price: $19.00 Quantity in Basket: none GIOVANNI MOSSI (1680 – 1742) – SONATE A VIOLINO E VIOLONE, O CIMBALO OPERA PRIMA Sonata I in D minor; Sonata II in A major; Sonata V in B minor; Sonata IX in B flat major; Sonata X in C minor; Sonata XII in D major Leila Schayegh, violin; Ilze Grudule, cello Jörg Halubek, harpsichord Eighteenth century Rome was an attractive place for musicians with its seething mass of activity and it is easy to imagine the great skirmish which went on amongst the elite performers of the day to obtain the most prestigious and well paid positions in that city. One of these combatants was Giovanni Mossi (1680-1742). Within few years he managed to establish himself in the heart of Rome’s musical scene. In 1716, Mossi fulfilled the last unequivocal requirement to establish his career – namely the publication of his own compositions. The prestigious Amsterdam publisher Estienne and Jeanne Roger accepted his compositions. His Sonatas Op. I, published in 1716, were received with great success. The fact that Johann Mattheson called Mossi «a follower of Corelli» is probably based on the strong parallels between the violin sonatas of Corelli’s op. V and Mossi’s op. I. Despite the formal dependence on Corelli’s model, already in his op. I Mossi’s aim seems to be to find an individual musical language. The harmonic phrases are freer and more surprising and he also uses new forms far removed from Corellian principles. These include replacing slow movements with recitatives or a French overture or dance suite. There is also a strong indication of a new musical current to be found throughout his work – the so called «Empfindsamen Stil» or «Sensitive style». This CD is the first recording of six out of the twelve sonatas in the op. I collection. |

(In the early 17th century there were some 2300 Jews living in this city). He was the first Jew to compose, perform and publish polyphonic settings of synagogue liturgy for mixed choir. He also made significant contributions to instrumental music; his four books on instrumental works include 116 pieces. In 1623, Rossi published his album of 33 songs titled “Hashirim Asher Lish’lomo” (The Song of Solomon) for various vocal ensembles ranging from 3 to 8 voices. The Song of Solomon focuses mainly on the Jewish music of Mantua and Venice at the period ending the Renaissance – and beginning the Baroque period. Being flanked by excerpts from his instrumental music, the present program provides a portrait in sound of this great, but little known, composer. Ensemble Profeti della Quinta was founded in the Galilee region of Israel by singer and harpsichordist Elam Rotem. From its inception in 2003, it has focused on sacred and secular 16th-century acappella repertoire. Its members’ background and training range from church-choral and Jewish-cantoral singing to opera and oratorio. For this project, the native Hebrew-speaking ensemble is unique in offering an unmediated grasp of both text and music in the historically individual style of Rossi’s “Hashirim Asher Lish’lomo”. Muscadin is an instrumental ensemble for music from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The members came together during their studies at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. The ensemble made its debut in 2002 in Basel with a performance of the “Song of Solomon”. Concerts in other cities and several festivals subsequently followed. |

Label: NEW PAN 10227 Our Price: $19.00 Quantity in Basket: none HENRY PURCELL (1659 – 1695) – CHAMBER MUSIC FOR UP TO FOUR PARTS Pavan for 3 violins in G minor; Suite in G major; Pavan for 2 violins in G minor Ground in Gamut; Sonata VII in E minor; Pavan for 2 violins in A minor Fantazia 3 in G major; Sonata VI in C major; Fantazia 2 in F major; Sonata IV in D minor Chacony in G minor; Prelude and Ground in C minor (from: Ye Tuneful Muses) Sonata V in G minor; Suite in D minor for harpsichord; Three parts upon a Ground Established in Cologne in 1998, the ensemble CordArte set out with the intention of allowing early music to live again by playing it expressively on the instruments for which it was intended. Daniel Deuter, Heike Johanna Lindner or Frauke Hess and Markus Märkl form the core of the group, performing on violin, viola da gamba and harpsichord/organ. Here, the elements of the group’s name come to the fore, with Corda (string) and Arte (art) describing both the artistic intent and the instruments themselves. The emphasis of the ensemble’s work lies in the chamber music of the 17th Century, a time which produced outstanding literature in Germany, England, France and Italy. On this recording, CordArte presents a representative cross-section of Henry Purcell’s (1659-1695) instrumental chamber music, which has always unjustly stood in the shadow of his vocal works. The ensemble’s fine choice of program on this recording makes the extreme diversity of his chamber music audible, with its expert mixture of Italian, French, and English styles and forms. |
