J.G. Graun: Chamber Music

A quartet of four renowned period-instrument musicians with a new and unique collection of trio sonatas from the late Baroque: music fit for a (very discerning) king.
The four composers represented here all worked at the Potsdam court of Frederick the Great, who was himself a flautist and composer of professional ability. The G minor Trio Sonata by Johann Gottlieb Janitsch (1708-c. 1763) and the A major Trio Sonata by Johann Gottlieb Graun (1703-1771) were scored by their composers for two melody instruments and basso continuo (here, cello and harpsichord).
Composer: Carl Heinrich Graun, Franz Benda, Johann Gottlieb Janitsch, Johann Gottlieb Graun
Artists: Augusta McKay Lodge violin, Georgina McKay Lodge viola, Eva Lymenstull cello, David Schulenberg harpsichord

All these compositions follow Berlin practice of the time in comprising three movements, of which the first is slow, the second quick, and the last also quick but somewhat lighter and dance-like. Both sonatas are extraordinary even within this exceptional repertory, incorporating lengthy virtuoso passages that resemble the solo episodes of a concerto. The C-minor viola sonata reaches rare heights of expressivity, particularly in its highly chromatic opening movement. The violin sonata in B-flat stands out for the fantasia-like solo passages in both quick movements.
A cello Sonata by the brother of Graun, Carl Heinrich (1703-1759), demonstrates that the younger Graun’s chamber music tends to be more lyrical, less outwardly virtuosic, than his brother's. The king’s favourite instrumentalist was the violinist Franz Benda (1709-1786), a pupil of J.G. Graun. He earned the rare privilege of leading Frederick’s famous private concerts, in which the king played flute alongside a handful of his best musicians.
Winner of the Juilliard School’s Historical Performance concerto competition, the violinist Augusta McKay Lodge is joined here by her sister Georgina and two accomplished colleagues who have also performed with the finest early-music groups on both sides of the Atlantic such as Les Arts Florissants, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Tafelmusik. Their stylish performances glow with sympathy, casting the listener back to Frederick’s candlelit salon in the company of the finest classical musicians of the day.

Brilliant Classics continues to introduce me to beautiful music from composers of whom I have never before heard. Thank you!

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser kompakten und fein komponierten Triosonaten in verschiedenen Tempi mit siedigem Ton der Violine, mildem Ton der Bratsche, tiefem Ton des Violincellos und schimmerndem Klang des Cembalos. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen allen Viruosen ist echt bewundernswert. Alles ist wundervoll!

Ah, now I see. Can't delete.

Great work of music, but not a good recording of it. The sound is warbly, expeically in the last 30 minutes.
