„Spick and span“ is how the hautboy players were described as they preceded the Frankfurt artilleries in 1716. Apparently they played a march by Georg Philipp Telemann especially composed for the occasion. These regimental hautboy players didn’t only play during military parades though but also entertained their audiences with the finest art music for 2 oboes, 2 horns and bassoon. The programme otherwise focuses on works from Telemann’s Hamburg period. In Hamburg he enjoyed a high reputation and was exceedingly active. Works by his Hamburg colleagues Reinhard Keiser, Johann Mattheson and Conrad Friedrich Hurlebusch are also included.

A firework of Baroque emotions will be unleashed when internationally acclaimed soloists join the ranks of L‘Orfeo Barockorchester and the FAU Kammerchor, conducted by Julian Tölle, to start the Festival Fränkischer Sommer 2021.
Recitation instead of recitative!
Martin Ellrodt grippingly tells a timeless story about power, betrayal, love, delusions of grandeur, but also of hope: Saul, one of the tragic figures from the Old Testament, is perpetrator and victim at the same time. He is Israel’s first king and by insisting on his power he neglects the signs of the times: he finds himself hopelessly entangled in intrigues of murderous jealousy, his own fear of God, feelings of guilt and issues of state policies.

The oratorio “The Creation” represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn‘s compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio. At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for a new kind of choral oratorio which became one of the standard features of developing bourgeois concert life.

The digital impetus of our time has proved to be a welcome vehicle for ever new communication systems. A shrewd networker nowadays understands how to employ these for an optimal outcome. During the 18th century the concept of mutual benefits was as lively and fascinating. Musicians curiously glanced across their national borders at different customs and (musical) languages, studied and integrated these in their own work and created ingenious networks.

Daniel Behle, tenor
L’Orfeo Barockorchester
Michi Gaigg, conductor
“To embark on this excursion with Behle’s wonderfully luminous and elegantly lavish tenor is like a journey through lush greenery and light-flooded summer freshness.” (BR Klassik) The programme sounds as poetic as this review – the titles of Schubert’s Singspiels and operas alone let the imagination run wild: “Die Zauberharfe”, “Alfonso and Estrella” or “Fierabras”. These enchanting gems of the opera repertoire have rarely been heard on German stages. And it is undoubtedly to the credit of Hamburg tenor Daniel Behle that he is bringing Schubert’s astonishingly extensive stage works, which with few exceptions were never performed even during his lifetime, back to life.

What would they have been, the masters of the Mannheim School – first and foremost Johann Stamitz as its founder, his sons Carl and Anton, the Kapellmeister of Viennese origin, Ignaz Holzbauer, who was appointed to him in 1753, the supposed outsider and lateral thinker Franz Xaver Richter or their congenial, early deceased comrade-in-arms Anton Fils, without the European musical capital of the time, Paris, and its lively and broad-based publishing scene? It was precisely these minds and their innovative musical creations that decisively shaped concert life there from the late 1750s to the 1780s – an outstanding position that was only to be disputed by the works of a certain Joseph Haydn.

Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, that’s my favourite composer!!! Is he supposed to have been a child prodigy? He is said to have written well over 600 works? That would be one, two, three, oh dear, tens of millions of notes! Something can’t have gone right. This is one of the greatest mysteries in the history of music, I have to solve it! Maybe he simply copied from others … or even from himself? I’ll find out, again from the stage, of course.

In 1723 Johann Sebastian Bach became cantor at the Thomas Church in Leipzig, a position he held for 27 years until his death in 1750. Bach’s foremost task was to provide music on a weekly basis for the city’s four churches. It was during this period that he composed all the great Passions, the four cantata cycles, the B minor Mass and a number of other church music masterpieces. L’Orfeo Barockorchester, directed by Michi Gaigg, performs two cantatas written in the years 1726–1727: “Ich armer Mensch, ich Sündenknecht”, BWV 55 and “Ich habe genung”, BWV 82. Bach didn’t only compose church music during this period though: in fact, he wrote instrumental music, orchestral works, solo concerts and chamber music during his whole lifetime. In addition to all his obligations in Leipzig he also directed the weekly concert series of the Collegium Musicum that performed to a paying audience. A substantial amount of instrumental music was composed for these occasions. L’Orfeo Barockorchester performs the second Orchestral Suite (BWV 1067) and his Concerto in A major for oboe d’amore (BWV 1055a), better known for its later arrangement for harpsichord.

Otto Kargl, direction
Since it was founded in 1992, Domkantorei St. Pölten has produced extremely successful renditions of early baroque church music and contemporary choral works. Now this specialist ensemble brings a masterpiece to the Festspielhaus: George Frideric Handel’s oratorio “Israel in Egypt”, whose fundamental message remains particularly relevant today for the Cathedral’s Music Director Otto Kargl: “Every person who is persecuted and oppressed, and whose life has been deprived of human dignity, has a claim to a promised land. That is the great message of this wonderful work.”

The 18th century was a time of transition (not only in musical terms, but especially pronounced there) – from the Baroque to the Classical period, from contrapuntal-vertical to harmonic-horizontal thinking, from (predominantly) courtly to increasingly bourgeois music, from chamber and church to salon and concert hall. Born in 1709 in the Moravian town of Hollauschau, Franz Xaver Richter was a member of the first generation of the so-called “Mannheim School”, both by birth and by age, but during his artistic career, which he ended as Kapellmeister at Strasbourg Cathedral, he was considered more conservative than progressive. This may have been due to his particular penchant for the elevated art of fugue, which was to manifest itself in a large number of his works, including not only those for the church, but also numerous sonatas, string quartets, solo concertos and over 80 symphonies. That counterpoint – in accordance with the values of the time – was regarded as one of the greatest and most enduring achievements of Western musical art becomes clear at the latest when we take a closer look at some of the compositional details in the works of Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven that were considered particularly elaborate. Richter’s “Sinfonia con Fuga” is in no way inferior to these. Rather, like its sister works, it bears witness to a mastery that is unparalleled in terms of tension and inner drama and here enters into an eloquent dialogue with the gallant figurations and rococo-like ornamentation of a concerto by the Padua-born oboe virtuoso Giovanni Platti. There is also a moment of mutual movement away from and towards each other between the two protagonists of Bach’s famous Double Concerto or the Richter symphonic movements that conclude the two concerto sections and from which the title of this programme with the L’Orfeo Barockorchester is composed.
