Product Description

When the cantor Johann Sebastian Bach performed sacred cantatas in Leipzig on Sundays and public holidays, his colleagues did the same in many other places in Lutheran Germany. Among them was Christoph Graupner, the court conductor of Hesse-Darmstadt. In 1709, the music-loving Landgraf Ernst Ludwig from Darmstadt had discovered him as a harpsichordist at the Hamburg Opera in 1709 and had hired him on the spot. The Landgraf had made a real stroke of luck with Graupner, because he was not only an outstanding musician but also a perfect organizer of the courtly musical life and especially for the church music which had to be performed weekly. Over the years, more than 1,400 works of sacred music and many concertos and orchestral works have gathered from his pen and paper. Dorothee Mields and Harmonie Universelle have put together an exquisite selection from this repertoire for the present release: three cantatas from Graupners early years as kapellmeister, complemented by two orchestral works. All three cantatas contain Herz [heart] as a central theme and Graupner has put the sacred texts into music with a never-ending fantasy.

昨年、何気なく購入したのですが個人的なヒットでした。グラウプナーというと昔はシャリモー協奏曲のような、なんとなく楽器紹介のような録音やカナダ勢のチェンバロ録音等が主でしたが、最近は声楽を中心にリバイバルが進んでいるようで、数年前のフォイエルジンガー(Christophorus)は、なかなか良かったと思います。 今回のミールズ盤は、フォイエルジンガーの比較的静謐な雰囲気に、さらに動的な要素も加わり繰り返し聴いても飽きません。これは、ソロカンタータの間で演奏されるマイナー系の組曲(序曲)と協奏曲を演奏するアルモニー・ウニベルセルにもよるところが大きく、トータルな意味(通奏低音の楽器選択など絶妙だと思います)で素晴らしい演奏に巡り合えました。
