@@graupner1345 I'm really impressed by the color. I only knew about him from a few instrumental pieces that were fine but not that compelling and then I hear this and the concerto for flute and viola d'amore and feel like I misjudged this guy's music.
@@user-ol1ib1ss2b yes spot on! The colors he achieves are incredible. His adventures in this respect are unparalleled in music of the period. Bach, Handel, Telemann etc don't even come close. Make sure you check out the 10 cantata passion cycle of 1741 and 7 cantata "last words" cycle of 1743 as well as GWV 1157/37. Make sure you have the text in front of you and prepare to be amazed!
This is the same Christoph Graupner, I take it, who, along with Georg Philipp Telemann, turned down the cantor position at Leipzig so the town council got stuck with one certain...Johann Sebastian Bach?
