About
Carl David Stegmann (1751-1826) was a tenor, keyboard player, conductor, and composer, who worked mostly in the field of opera. Employed by the Court Theatre in Mainz (where he sang in the first German-language production of Don Giovanni), he also gave a number of acclaimed performances in Frankfurt.
Trained as an organist, he made transcriptions of string quintets by Mozart and Beethoven’s Trios, op.9, as well as keyboard transcriptions of twenty-five of Haydn’s symphonies.
‘It is unclear to me whether these transcriptions were ever meant to be played as concert repertoire, in public. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm I have encountered wherever I have played them has persuaded me to make this recording, to allow more people to hear Stegmann’s idiomatic arrangements.’ – Ivan Ilić
