Telemann CD cover

Der getreue Music-Meister: A Musical Journal
The CD (on virtilia) is a reconstruction of Telemann's monthly journal published during 1728 and 1729.

This recording presents Telemann’s music in the way a subscriber to his monthly journal would have encountered it in early 18th-century Hamburg, that is to say, as a delectable musical medley of various genres and timbres. It serves up a colorful, up-to-date compendium of galante popular music. Each "Lection" teases the subscriber’s musical appetite, with a delicately ornamented tune here, a brightly jolly dance there, mingling charming pieces meant to delight with expressive, enthralling miniatures that more deeply “move the affections,” and some acutely dramatic moments between.

Muller CD cover

Jean Michel Muller: XII Sonates
Jean Michel Muller (Johann Michael Müller) was born 1683 in Schmalkalden (Thuringia). From 1704 until his death in 1743 he appears in Hanau (Hessia) where he served as music director and organist at St. Mary’s, and also as organist, Director Musicae, and finally Praeceptor  at the reformed academy at Hanau.

The twelve virtuoso “Sonates a un Hautbois de Concert …” —indeed concerti grossi for solo oboe, wind ensemble and Basso Continuo—are offered here in a modern, premiere recording.  They date from Muller’s early period in Hanau before his focus turned to sacred music. As far as we know they are the only secular instrumental works by the composer, and show a beautiful and eclectic stylistic mix of French, Italian, and German idioms. The band, consisting of hautbois de concert plus two more hautbois, a taille, a bassoon, and BC provides a delightful and rich tapestry of resonating sound rarely encountered today.
To order the Muller CD: The CD set (on genuin) is now available from Genuin in Germany, and is also available in the U.S. from TOUTES SUITES. Please contact our Webmaster for U.S. purchasing details..
