Mariss JansonsAbout
In the magnificent setting of Waldsassen Abbey Basilica in the Upper Palatinate, Mariss Jansons conducted an all-Haydn program in October of 2008: Haydn’s Harmony Mass ranks as one of the six great masses of his late creative period, composed on commission from Prince Esterházy. Its name refers to the unusually large complement of wind instruments, an orchestration that was only possible for the final great masses after the Josephinist restrictions for church music were lifted, and because, from 1792 on, Haydn had a larger instrumental ensemble at his disposal.
Timpani and trumpets were used in the Symphony in G major, Hob. I:88 - not, as might be expected, in the opening allegro but rather – in contrast to expectations in those days – not until the slow second movement.
Outstanding recordings of music performed by the three Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bavarian Broadcasting) ensembles are now offered to music lovers on the new label BR-Klassik. The Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the Münchner Rundfunkorchester and the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks – the three BR ensembles - enjoy an extraordinary reputation, both regionally and internationally, for their quality, artistic creativity and their communication of classical music. Outstanding concerts, especially successful interpretations and rarely heard works are being documented on this new label.
