Since there were no recording mechanisms back in those days and rare orchestral concerts outside of royal courts, I imagine these beautiful works were not performed in the general public sphere more than five or six times in a decade. Now, thanks to God and man's ingenuity, we can hear them as often as we want.
they definitely had concertos and operata's very often in opera theatres. Not all composers were court composers that performed once every few months to a monarch and clergy. Even court composers like Salieri and Bach performed very frequently and even toured Europe giving concerts. Imagine hearing the most beautiful concerto you have heard in your life only to slowly forget the melody in a few weeks and be frustrated for the rest of your life that you forgot such a beautiful song.
@fermatichebellosei1595 Maybe "95 percent is definitely missing" for YOU, but not for the 86 other people who took the time on Comment on this marvelous music and its (sadly) overlooked composer.
WOW I've been listening to classical for 25 years and never heard of Hertel until now. Thank you for bringing this phenomenal music into my life. The concerto for violin is exquisite
Johann Wilhelm Hertel, nació en la tierra de Bach, Eisenach. Estudió con Franz Benda y fue maestro de Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch ; hijo de uno de mis adorados , el gran Johann Friedrich Fasch . Demasiado bello ! Gracias por compartir esta belleza ! Desde Chile un abrazo ❤🌺
RU-vid me ha hecho conocer, hace pocos días, a este compositor. Tantos años de oír música barroca y lo ignoraba! Muchas gfracias por tu comentario. El Universo de la Música es como el astronómico: ¡INAGOTABLE!
This is the first time that i am listening to hertel and i am very impressed of his music. He is definitely a giant composer. It was really so dynamic and energetic music. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks a lot for making us able to discover Hertel's concerti! I am listening to them in a loop, because I enjoy them very much. Could you, please, mention from which castle's park are these nice four Muses' statues (of the picture) coming?
These nice four ladies are from the Zwinger Castle`s `Nymphenbad` in Dresden, Germany. The Nymphenbad is a fountain and pavilion complex within Zwinger. This fountain is of a beautiful late Baroque design and could easily mistaken for Rococo such is the richness of the sculptural ensemble decorating the fountain, not to mention the intricate design of the waterfall feature. The fountain sits in what would originally have been a private area of the palace in a pavilion which contains many classical inspire Baroque sculptures to compliment the ones already on the fountain. Built by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann during period 1710-28 for Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony.
Comme la première lumière du crépuscule, cette œuvre sonore ouvre les yeux à de vieilles promesses et à toutes les anomalies bienfaisantes de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et réveillent les tourbillons, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés 🌺🕊
