Ian PageAbout
The programme again culminates with one of Haydn’s great ‘Sturm und Drang’ symphonies - this time arguably the greatest of them all, the ‘Trauer’ - and 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.
The other orchestral work is an outstanding G minor Symphony by the Czech composer Leopold Kozeluch, whose quality, sweep, and lyricism will surprise many listeners, and the two vocal works are genuine rarities.
Schweitzer’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 Paisiello’s Annibale in Torino - the twenty-third of his eighty-seven operas - features an exquisite but brief arioso before leading into a stormy G minor aria.
The soloist is the American soprano Emily Pogorelc, an Associate Artist of The Mozartists, with Ian Page once again conducting his award-winning period-instrument ensemble. The first two volumes of this series were both selected as Editor’s Choice in Gramophone.
