Info for Rosetti: Sinfonias & Concertos

Die 'frische und lebendige' Einspielung des Kölner Alte-Musik Ensembles Compagnia di Punto mit Kammermusikwerken Antonio Rosettis für dhm wurde von der Presse für ihr 'hohes künstlerisches Niveau' (NDR) gelobt. Für seine neue CD hat das Ensemble nun die letzten unentdeckten sinfonischen Schätze des in Böhmen geborenen Komponisten ausgewählt, der zu den berühmtesten seiner Zeit gehörte. Wegen des Ideenreichtums seiner Werke und der Eleganz seiner Melodik wird Antonio Rosetti (1750-1792) vielfach mit seinen Zeitgenossen Haydn und Mozart verglichen. Während seiner Tätigkeit am Hof Oettingen-Wallerstein, unter dem Musikliebhaber Fürst Kraft Ernst, brachte es Rosetti innerhalb kürzester Zeit vom Kontrabassisten zum Kapellmeister und machte die Hofkapelle zu einem der besten Ensembles in Europa. Neben den Weltersteinspielungen der Sinfonien in C-Dur, G-Dur und F-Dur (Murray A3, A41 & A35) enthält die CD auch sein reizvolles Flötenkonzert in G-Dur sowie das Hornkonzert in d-Moll (Murray C24 & C39).

Compagnia di Punto

Compagnia di Punto
For time immemorial, flutes, horns and strings have conveyed what words cannot express. As an ensemble, tranverse flute, natural horn and strings cover the entire orchestral range – an orchestra en miniature. Compagnia di Punto presents this unique timbre in various instrumentations from quintet to chamber orchestra.

The musicians’ individual histories began in Asia, in America and in Europe; in megacities, between coal dumps, in cultural centres and in the endless expanses of forests and oceans. The foundation of their common history was laid in Cologne’s Early Music circles: in leading positions of outstanding ensembles, each of them has built up an international reputation as an artist and teacher. Today they are active as soloists, chamber musicians, conductors, university teachers or lecturers at various European and overseas academies.

Compagnia di Punto's fundamental concern is to reveal the timeless qualities of Early Music in this day and age. According to the ensemble’s understanding, every concert program tells a story. So as to fathom these stories in their full depth and all their ramifications, the musicians trace back the music to its archaic roots and place it into new and often surprising contexts, in some cases also reflecting it in the light of contemporary compositions. Compagnia di Punto thus develops new narrative concert formats of dramaturgical design, breaking up formal barriers and linking music to literature and drama.
