Berlioz (1803-1869)
Description:
The young Berlioz's pure talent is a surprise! Some of the melodies sound familiar...! Not long after he was still studying as a medical student in Paris, Berlioz heard an opera by Salieri and decided to pursue music in earnest, and finally wrote his first great work, ...... a few years after Beethoven's "Solemn Mass" and at the same time as the masses by Cherubini and Schubert. Written at the same time as Schubert's Mass, Berlioz's "Solemn Mass" was unknown for a long time, based on the testimony that the composer himself had destroyed the score. Miraculously, however, the score was discovered in Belgium at the end of the 20th century, and John Eliot Gardiner soon recorded it. The world premiere recording of a 19th century composer's work on period instruments was a novelty at the time, but the fact that no new recordings of the composer have appeared since then is a shame, because the composer's image is still very much in question. It is great news that Hervé Nicquet, who once made headlines for his thorough reproduction of Handel's "Fireworks at the Royal Palace," is now releasing a completely new recording on the Alpha label.Solemn Mass" is a large orchestral work written by Berlioz when he was 21 years old and had received almost no musical training. The premiere of the work was accompanied by great difficulties, but the result left Paris music connoisseurs breathless and amazed at the emergence of an extraordinary talent. (In the "Solemn Mass," the melody of the third movement of the "Symphonie fantastique" appears with chorus, and there are some passages that were adapted from other works, such as the original "tuba-myrm" of the "Requiem.) The composer later destroyed the autograph score, and for a long time this great work remained a miraculous work of art until the score was miraculously discovered in Antwerpen (Antwerp), Belgium in 1991. The orchestra includes the Madouff brothers, pioneers of nonporous natural brass, and the virtuoso soloists such as Patrick Vivard (ophicleide player of Les Siecle), who is a master of Serpentin.
