Description:
Bach recorder album with six different instruments Maurice Steger, a superb recorder player and conductor, recorded a Bach album with an ancient instrument orchestra. The instruments are made by the Swiss workshop "Meyer Recorders", which is considered one of the world's best recorder makers, and are made by the founder Ernst Meyer [1954-2016] and his son Sebastian (Sebastian, not Sebastian, as the language is Swiss-German). (Sebastian, not Sebastian, as it is in Swiss-German). The recordings of the recorder and the ancient instruments were made by freelance engineer Christian Sagar, who has also recorded Steger for Harmonia mundi and Claves. The recording venue was the Martin Church in Basel. The recording was made at the Martin Church in Basel.The harpsichord is a mid-18th century German two-stage keyboard type, with a pitch of A=416 Hz, and the "Young Temperament" tuning theory of Thomas Young [1773-1829] is used for the tuning. Work Info● Concerto in D major, BWV.1053 (for recorder, strings and basso continuo) [20:51] (tracks 1-3)The album opens with the work known as "Harpsichord Concerto No. 2. The original was lost, and the "Harpsichord Concerto No. 2" arranged for the "Collegium Musikum" and the symphonies and arias from Cantatas Nos. 169 and 49, also adapted from the original, are extant. Bach, who worked as a Thomas Kantor on the staff of the city of Leipzig, was involved with the Collegium Musikum, a private performance group, from 1729 to about 1741, earning a sideline fee for performances in coffee houses and gardens.At the time, Bach was mainly paid only for performances, so it is likely that he made arrangements rather than composing new works, but he also made many arrangements of catchy works to support the demand for frequent concerts of the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig, a small city with a population of about 30,000, and to provide stable compensation. It is thought that Bach was motivated enough to make many arrangements from his catchy works. The population of European cities at that time was about 60,000 in Dresden, 70,000 in Hamburg, 110,000 in Berlin, 170,000 in Vienna, 210,000 in Amsterdam, 210,000 in Lisbon, 310,000 in Naples, 550,000 in Paris, and 670,000 in London. It must have been difficult to hold weekly concerts in Leipzig, which has a population of about 30,000. Here, Sebastian Wienant reconstructed BWV 1053 based on Bach's manuscript and replaced the harpsichord solo part with a recorder. The instrument used is the third flute (flauto d'amore) in A. Ernst Mayr made it out of boxwood, referring to the model of Jacob Denner [1681-1735]. (1/3)
