They did concert tours as teenagers to Frankfurt and Paris, Andreas on violin and Bernhard on cello. The exquisite Mozart flute Andante is, well, the icing on the cake.Īndreas Jakob Romberg was born in 1767 into a family of musicians, and was raised alongside his cousin Bernhard Heinrich in Münster. Clearly this was an omission that was long overdue for correction! Now with an orchestra on stage that includes clarinets, trumpets, and timpani, it is the perfect excuse to add our oboists and play music by Andreas Romberg, a composer who is new to Tafelmusik, but who in the early 19th century was listed with Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven as a major symphonist. That seemed unthinkable: in fact, we all assumed that we had-until we checked the records of our performances. We then looked to the symphonic repertoire, and realized with astonishment that Tafelmusik had never played Mozart’s Symphony 39. With the recent re-issue of our recording of music by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, it is the ideal opportunity to animate the many discussions we’ve been having around his life and work by including one of his brilliant violin concertos.
At the helm is a new guest director, the wonderful violinist Leila Schayegh. It seemed the perfect opportunity to celebrate with a concert of firsts: an entire program of pieces we’ve never performed before.
Classical period flute repertoire full#
This is Tafelmusik’s first concert with a full classical orchestra in almost three years, and it was with great excitement that we started to think about possible repertoire. We welcome both Leila and Marcello in their Tafelmusik debuts. He currently resides in Salzburg, where he teaches renaissance, baroque, and classical flute at the Mozarteum. Marcello studied modern flute at the Conservatory in Perugia, and period flute at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He has an extensive discography, and appears with Accademia Bizantina, Zefiro, Europe Galanta, Cantus Cölln, Le Concert des Nations, and Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, among many others. In 2020 she recorded Bach’s famous Sonatas and Partitas, and the complete Leclair violin concertos with La Cetra Basel has just been released.īorn in Winterthur, Switzerland, Leila is professor of baroque violin at her alma mater, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, as successor of her teacher Chiara Banchini.īorn in Perugia, Italy, Marcello Gatti has performed throughout Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East. She’s recently expanded her repertoire towards the classical and romantic period, and has recorded the Brahms violin sonatas with Jan Schultsz.
Classical period flute repertoire series#
She plays regularly with Gli Angéli Genève (directed by Stephan MacLeod), notably in the almost complete series of Bach’s cantatas. Her collaboration with director and harpsichordist Vaclav Luks led to the recordings of Benda’s violin sonatas and Mysliveček’s violin concertos.
Their 2016 recording of Bach’s six obbligato sonatas was awarded numerous prizes. She has developed a close collaboration with Jörg Halubek, harpsichordist, organist, and director. Leila Schayegh is among the most visible violinists in the early music scene, with a busy international career. This film is dedicated to Allen’s memory. He had a passion for music of the classical period, and his spirit imbued our playing. It was a privilege to play this music for our dear friend and colleague. The morning of the filming of this program we learned of the death of Tafelmusik cellist Allen Whear.
