About
Franz Benda and Johann Gottlieb Graun were able to do what Bach could not: for decades they were in the service of the art-loving King Frederick II of Prussia. Benda's Flute Concerto, with its stormy and dramatic character, illustrates the high level of the Potsdam court orchestra, as does the distinctive Quartet in which Graun gave the viola da gamba a ludicrously demanding part. Telemann's Hunting Overture provides an opulent and furious prelude that unfolds a striking effect, especially in MDG's three-dimensional reproduction. In the second movement of Vivaldi's Quartet, oboe and flute embrace each other in an intimate love duet, prefaced with an unusual surprise as an anticipation of caterva musica's future projects.
