Leopold Kozeluch - Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major for trumpet, piano, mandoline & Double bass 

Mandolin?!?! And double bass?!?! How is this piece not in the cannon? I want to hear this live!

Perfect music for a very cold winter morning . . . . .

What the hell is going on? How does that insane quartet actually work? This is a world class masterpiece.

Samen met de sinfonia concertanye van Joseph Haydn vind ik dit een van de mooiste muziekwerken die ooit zijn geschreven!!!!

Eine außergewöhnliche Komposition, unbedingt anhören!!

Que Maravilla

A delight with a Mozartian levity the lute adding a twinkle to the harmony.

This one of the best for it’s era ..

I am now studying his works, as I will become the first Korean to show that Kozeluch was the most magnificent composer of the classical era.

Fantastisch! Die Harmonie und Gleichberechtigung der Instrumente: Einmalig!

I return often to this jubilant recording for its perky uplift, musical inventiveness, Bohemian surprises. This introduced me - and more of my friends - to Kozeluch and the wealth of his music. Thanks so much for uploading it for all of us!

Vuelvo a oír esta obra y vuelve a maravillarme. ENCANTADORA

What a strange association of concerting istruments Kozeluch chose here! It is indeed very difficult to have a semless music with such soloists. Kozeluch suceeded in that challenge. the result is very pleasant.

gorgeous kozeluch truly a genious love his divers music so classy

After an year it is still lovely and after many more years it would still be lovely.

Koželuch He is one of those composers who were born to be eternal, it hurts that it is not popularly spread, surely he does not miss Mozart when he took his place in Vienna, his symphonies are excellent, his sonatas first, with great virtuosity, in Prague they must feel proud to tell in your story with such a high quality artist, greetings from Mexico

Wunderschön, Melodie, Gefühl, Entspannung vom Alltag - eine andere Welt in die man sich hineinträumt. Entrückt von der Wirklichkeit. Das war Musik, das ist Musik, wann gebiert sie wieder ebenbürtige Kinder ? Thanks for loading.

Wunderschön, ein musikalischer Hochgenuß !

So beautiful music! This evening we heard the opera Gustav Wasa from Kozeluch, representing the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra and the soloists. Amazing.

Notable combinación de instrumentos solistas para hacer este magnífico concierto... laúd, contrabajo, trompeta y piano....¡¡ qué osadía de don Leopoldo Kozeluch !!.....

Good Lord! Even Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for the winds pales in comparison to this magnificent and breathtaking piece by Kozeluch! Magically and uncannily he blends abandon and bravado with delicateness and exquisiteness. The power and beauty of the music can only find their siblings in Maria Callas's mad scenes in Puritani, Norma, Lucia and Anna Bolena, in the halcyon days of the diva.

What a lovely piece, and such an unknown composer.

Dit is een echt mooi werk! Ik word altijd weer blij als ik deze muziek beluister. Bedankt!!! De combinatie van de solo-instrumenten vind ik meesterlijk. Ik heb deze CD in dezelfde uitvoering in bezit - en verveelt me nooit!!

Le variazioni sono semplicemente meravigliose, grazie mille per avermele fatte conoscere!

Non conoscevo questa sinfonia... molto bella.

Cette musique est positivement exaltante.... Richesse du discours mélodique, harmonies à couper le souffle, orchestration sans cesse renouvelée dans l’utilisation des timbres de l'orchestre - Merci pour cette découverte !

Strepitoso! Bellissimo...

Amazingly different.

Inimaginable un cuarteto de instrumentos más diferentes que estos cuatro. Ensamblarlos, que suenen coherentemente entre ellos y con la orquesta es algo que sólo puede conseguirlo alguien que sabe MUCHO de música. Una verdadera GENIALIDAD

Mi piace

1st movement - Allegro: The legendary warriors of old - the trumpet, mandolin, contra bass, and piano - try one by one to take on the blazing sunset. Though the fight is long and arduous, they perservere through many trials and tribulations. 2nd movement - Andantino: The instruments celebrate with a feast. They get drunk and remember moments they spent with each other through tough times. They are tired and in need sleep. 3rd movement - Finale: The heros finally arrive home to tell everyone of their most epic journey they just had together, and the tales of infamous battles in which each them perservered and showed were able to one by one show their most truest colors. Fin.

Děkujeme vám KuhlauDilfeng2 (sic) za vaše nádherné množství nahrávek.

La mandolina :) Cosmica

una grata sorpresa musical para Chile.

ses concertos sont aussi intéressants

What an amazing fabulous work. It's a feast to listen. Thanks again for uploading!

Technicalities apart, this music shimmers and is truly heartwarming.Thank you.

Parece que los checos se distinguieron en la música. La interpretación es magnifica.

Nothing like I have herd before- wonderful beyond words !

Lovely !

Kozeluch clearly was an admirer of the ones Mozart produced and it is no wonder he was the next composer to take the court composer in Prague 1792 after Mozart. He was asked to take Mozart's former position in Salzburg when he led in 1781 but he refused. He's a fascinating though less studied composer which is sad as his music suggests such incredible prowess of Galant composing.

My eyes are red with tears. Because when I listen this music, I feel togetherness.Each part plays its melody vividly but they also play altogether. I can see the composer'swarm heart. Thank you.

The first time chanced on music by Kozeluch, I cold have sworn it was Mozart as his very best.

Such a variety in rhythm and melody! This composer is great, and one of the true diamonds in the wild. Thank you for sharing this creative talent with us.

Lovely piece. Thanks

Bello concierto, admirables los adornos incluidos en su música, deleite para lo sentidos.

Excellent harmony!

very beautiful! thanks for uploading

Uyy, qué sinfonía, he descubierto grandes compositores que alegran el oído. Música 🎶 para leer, escribir y estudiar. Es la pura inspiración. Gracias.

héél bijzonder ….. en mooi !

Una joyita musical que debiera difundirse más. Curiosísima combinación de 4 instrumentos tan disímiles más profusa orquesta clásica. Un deleite

que gran influencia Mozartiana se puede apreciar en este gran compositor, rescatando a los grandes y olvidados genios de la música universal.

Beautiful ! Thank you so much :)

Love it.

Hmmmm. I am amazed that MR Kozeluch could manage to make a composition for this combination. In the first movement to hear a duetto between Contrabass and Mandoline that is working is really amazing. All this instruments are far from each other and balance is difficult. JUST TO TRY TO THIS is very brave. The Mandolin and Piano is coming out very well the solo bass is a little out of tune BUT play with soloistic impressiveness. Whatever bass player you have here that person would come at last. The trumpet has the most delicate balance problems here. Would love to ear this in original balance. A classical trumpet regarding sound would make it easier for that person if it should be performed on original instruments. LOVE THIS COMPOSITION! What makes the highpoint is the Mandoline! :-)

For the most part I have never been all that enthusiastic about the Sinfonia Concertante as a form, finding them pleasant, but often less interesting than either a straight up symphony or concerto. Still, I have to admit that Kozeluch has come up with a winner. Kozeluch grows more and more in my esteem, the more of his work that I hear. I suspect that in sizing the man up, too much weight has been given to such trivial things as the anecdote wherein Mozart rather rudely put Kozeluch down in a bout of Mozartian testiness after Kozeluch made some sort of mild criticism of a piece by Haydn.

Image is Bellona Takes Possession of Weapons of Cupid (oil on canvas), by Carlo Cignani (1628-1719). In case you were wondering. Accepting donations. Let me know.

Masterpiece. The myth of Amadeus continues today. In Vienna at that time, the more popular (they earned more; where someone is buried after death - says it all.) were Ditersdorf, Salijeri, Leopold Koželuh, Paul Wranicki, Vanhal, Mihael Hajdn, Jozef Hajdn,..., Joseph Martin Kraus , ...

Inshah Allah ! God-willing !

Probably TAKASHI Ochi on mandolino (it is written akashi on the description). Fabulous work and interpretation!

Very underestimated

A melodious -- but challenging -- concerto for an unusual group of solo instruments. Did other composers (aside from Kozeluch) create similar concertos for trumpet, piano, mandolin and double-bass?

The authorship may have been misattributed. I think this was actually written by his brother PDQ Kozeluch.

No se si es una sinfonia .un concert un quartet o una escudella.Malgrat aixo es una peça per al paladar mes exquisit

This is a magnificen piece, but those cherubs are truly disturbing.

Bo gemiddeld goed.

Good Music! The Trumpet was a key's Trumpet or what?

! ! !

No no plays this on the radio why not ?

Phantastic! But really for Trumpet??? Think Corno da caccia?

Lol why the double bass though? Almost the entire part is in the cello/viola range

could be even more interesting if played on a keyed trumpet, as it should be.

What a funny instrumentation. Had to be commissioned. Never heard a duett with double bass and mandoline before. Makes absolute no sense.

comporgasmatron

How could they make mandolin so loud here, next to such a big and loud orchestra, full of brass,... I donť get it..

I wouldn't like to be charge of balance !!!!!!!!!

Am a bit disappointed by the conservative choice of instrumental combination. A hurdy gurdy or bagpipes would have spiced this up a bit.

also the kitchen sink

Oh, a homotonal concerto !!!

Classical music fans try so hard to sound smart, I swear to god just listen to the music and shut up.

Dang, that bass player doesn't have good pitch at all, geez. I would hate to play bass. Not a very well made instrument nor a good instrument to listen to.

Lovely !
