专辑简介
“A delightful programme, thoughtfully put together and very well executed - Gramophone
“During this visit, these young ladies were so obliging as to sing me a salve regina, lately set by their father, in duo. It is an exquisite composition, full of grace, taste and propriety." So wrote the English traveller Charles Burney in 1772. The “father" was Johann Adolf Hasse, one of the 18th century's most famous composers - and here he is in “A delightful programme, thoughtfully put together and very well executed" (Gramophone)
“Nothing succeeds like success" - scarcely another composer enjoyed as unanimously high a reputation in ancien régime Europe as Hasse did. Bourgeois opera audiences worshipped him as fervently as did crowned heads in Vienna, Dresden, Naples, Paris, London and Berlin. His music dissolved national frontiers and spanned two generations: the ink was still wet on Bach's Brandenburg Concertos when Hasse celebrated his first triumphs in Italy, and by the time he put down his pen Mozart had taken up residence in Vienna. Undoubtedly many of his contemporaries did not deserve to be as overshadowed by him as they were; Frederick II, growing ever more peculiar as he aged, could not endure operas in any other style but his; Glucks's career did not really take off in Vienna, and the North Italian courts with their Habsburg connections were dominated by Hasse (involuntarily).
Was it a desire to “see fair play" that allowed us to forget such a master?
Reinhard Goebel
