Description:

Goebel's special project "Beethoven's World," the fourth installment of which is only possible in this year of Beethoven's 250th birthday! With the piano duo Thal & Groothuizen, secret pieces by composers more popular than Beethoven at the time will be brought back to life in the modern age. Reinhard Goebel, founder of Musica Antiqua Cologne and a world-renowned interpreter of innovative music, presents his special project "Beethoven's World" for the anniversary year of Beethoven. However, despite the title "Beethoven's World," there are very few works by Beethoven, but rather unknown works by Beethoven's contemporaries, including many world premiere recordings, which is typical of the genius Goebel. All the recordings in this series have received great attention and excellent reviews all over the world.On the first album, which includes Franz Clement's Violin Concerto, "If Goebel's discovery of Beethoven's contemporaries continues in this multifaceted Beethoven Year, it will be a great year" (German Sunday World); on the second album, which includes two by Reicha and Romberg The second album, with the concerto for cello, "is a milestone, setting new standards in this recording," and the third album, with works by Salieri, Hummel, and Wojciech, "an outstanding contribution to the Beethoven Year, with a new album of works by Beethoven and his contemporaries" (German "Sunday World"). Once again impressively proving that there was more to be heard in Vienna at that time than Mozart's piano concertos and Beethoven's symphonies" (Deutschlandfunk). (1/3) Sony Music
