Revisiting a recent acquisition, always like to remind myself when something is especially nice or interesting, and this is both. This is definitely a recommendable album for anyone who enjoys Italian Baroque in general and violin music in particular!🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Much has been made of Haydn & Mozart's love of the viola, which in Vienna was less than common. Meanwhile, up north, an arc ranging from Hamburg to Berlin to Dresden appears to have been a hotbed of viola lovers. I'm enjoying these now!🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
While it's classed as "Late Baroque", this chamber music is every bit as developed and far removed from Baroque as we think of it, it satisfies as much as anything from the "Classical" era. The great arc of 18th century music is well presented here!🤠
Ties in nicely with your database of ex-Lawyers turned musicians, dunnit? 😀 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
I pulled this out todfay thinking to hear some Graun Trio Sonatas, which it has here, but so much more! Some who have grown in my estimation since I first got this. Album now refiled... 😶🌫️🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
The sonatas for keyboard & violin Mozart composed in Mannheim in 1778 (K 296 & 301-303 & 305) are among the most poignant of his early maturity. This duo have used excellent scholarship along with fine instruments & technique to realize them!🤠

I suppose my taste for Oboe has manifested by now, & the early to middle 18th was a golden age of sorts, carefully sitting inside so much violin music! Besozzi is one of those names which would occur instantly to his peers, too bad he's rare today! 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Leclair was one of the premier violinists in mid-century France, but even he had stages of improvement. The violin sonatas from his final opus, Book 4, are hard to beat, and these realizations of them are first rate. Sweet! 🤠
One could easily understand that. Thanks, now that I've discovered Fesch, I can discover Fesch! As for Fasch, I get him confused with Janitsch. Not in spelling though. 😊🤠
I won't apologize, it's good for you 😁. 🤠 I have to admit, I sometimes go down new paths with no preparation, but I rarely post my mistakes. 😎🤠
Thank you for drawing my attention to this, it looks quite interesting. 🤠
With these 2 I now have all 4, I played the first 2 frequently, I'm sure these will get the same treatment. Fasch was new to me just a year ago, and he has steadily grown in my estimation. 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Fasch was a whiz with Orchestral Suites, though his employer had little use for them, he distributed them through his network of friends like Telemann and the Berlin & Dresden orchestras. A considerable cache was recently discovered, containing these.🤠

More Telemann : more Dombrecht. Some especially fine chamber music for oboe, violes and BC. A very nice ensemble here, making the entire even finer! 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Telemann had as much facility with the oboe as with any other instrument, which is to say, more than most! Well demonstrated here by Dombrecht, with excellent backup from the band. Just right for a brisk, sunny April afternoon! 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Accent has provided a fine selection of 18th century French flautists, Les Buffardins presents fine realizations of this tasty treat. 🤠
I'm told it's Tulsi G. Apparently when they say "women and children first", they are talking about under the bus. 😏🤠
I hadn't got around to dating these yet, but they are on par with Vivaldi's (IMO) from the 1730's. Which is saying a lot for me. I definitely enjoyed it! 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Very few contemporary composers could match Graupner's capability when it came to writing for the bassoon. Very few musicians can match Azzolini's capability when it comes to Baroque Bassoon. This album appears to buttress my assertions. 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Here is another of those composers who, once one actually gets to listen to them and learns a bit about, one wonders how and why they can have descended to such near total obscurity. Just saying...🤠
It was live today. I follow ED on there and they sent me a notification today, for which I sadly wasn't home. I follow a couple of groups, given my geographic location it's almost a cultural life...😁🤠
#ClassicalMusic #18thCenturyMusic
Enjoying now, although I missed it 'live'.

When he was just a kid (so to say), #KeyboardKris released what I still think is his best album. All your minor key favorites are right here, nicely realized! 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
In addition to the excellent playing of these oft-performed works, I'm delighted with the scholarship that went into them as well, something too often overlooked in both liner note writing and making performance material. Easily my favorites! 🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
One of the finer reaizations of Mozart's wind ensemble music, ranging from the 5 Sextets from Salzburg to the Gran Partita, we see/hear another example of how his works just outstripped others of the same genre. The period winds here sound fabulous!🤠
For me, other than Vivaldi of course, one of my earliest exploits into Baroque music was early 18th century Vienna. Whatever else I've learned stems from there. So I guess I'm in that boat too. 😊🤠
#ClassicalMusic #MyDailyDose #18thCenturyMusic
Fux is mainly known for his church & choral music, as well as his (still in use today!) book on writing counterpoint, "Gradus ad Parnassum". But he also was highly regarded for his secular music, like these Trio & Quattro Sonatas & Sinfonias. 👍🤠
Where the real time-saving benefit derives is from NOT doing the things I'm supposed to not do. I get an extra 8 hours of R&R just from that! 😁🤠
Haydn is my Bach, with all that entails. 😇🤠
Back at'cha! What time is it? It's Haydn Time! 🤠
