Editorial Reviews The Berlin-based Barock Compagney perform two orchestral suites and two trio sonatas by Erlebach an important composer of the generation before Johann Sebastian Bach. Erlebach left numerous works to posterity which today are utterly forgotten. This neglect is not justified, as witness the present CD. The Barock Compagney of Berlin performs these newly-discovered works in contrasting and spirited manner - this is colourful, virtuoso music-making.
Album Description
Was sophisticated music-making possible at the court of a minor German prince in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries? Yes, indeed! It happened in the Thuringian city of Rudolstadt where Philipp Heinrich Erlebach, the Kappellmeister to the High Count of Schwarzburg and Hohnstein, incorporated mainstream European music in his works even though he rarely travelled beyond his relatively small area in all those 35 years and never once did he venture beyond the German- speaking world. Come and learn and listen to this little known yet amazing composer who learned his craft from travelling musicians.
