Merci beaucoup pour cet enregistré ancien ( et plutôt bien nettoyé ) . Je collectionne ce type d'enregistrements de musique ancienne et je ne connaissais pas celui-là . 🤗 💚 ☺
Happy memories of being a keen follower of M.R. in the early 70's. Early music was in its infancy in England with little choice of bands: I always thought of M.R. as akin to the Rolling Stones (dirty street-credible) as opposed to David Munrow/New London consort's Beatle-like (overproduced, slick) qualities.
The B-A-C-H theme from the Art of Fugue appears in the base right before Mozart died. In The Art of Fugue, the same figure appears right before Bach’s death
Well, the Maunder is unquestionably the most Mozartian of them, followed I guess by the Cohrs (although he does some things no 18th-c Viennese would have). The Druce is completely wrong- it sounds more like Brahms pastiche than Mozart.
Just came across this on Apple Music, listening here again (same performance). I hear Rameau so strongly in this wonderful transcription. I just found out that Koffler and his family were murdered by the Nazis towards the end of the war. It seems like the beginning Aria and its reprise especially, but the whole composition as well, makes a very beautiful and moving elegy for and tribute to this family.
