Heinrich Schütz – The complete recording: In the coming year a recording of the complete works of Heinrich Schütz under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann will be released on the Carus label. Together with the Dresdner Kammerchor and many renowned soloists these works, true to historical performance practice, will be presented.Already in his Opus primus, the Italian Madrigals, Schütz emerged as an outstanding composer: In their musical quality, the 18 five-part madrigals exceed much that was still composed in the traditional madrigal style at the beginnning of the 17th century.
Johann Mattheson (Hamburg, September 28 1681 — April 17 1764) was an unusual musical figure, remembered chiefly for his theoretical oeuvre, indispensable these days to our understanding of music-making during the first half of the eighteenth century. A tireless analyst, a great encyclopaedist of forms and genres, and a evaluator of the most well-known composers of his time, he was unafraid to declare his own opinion on the issues he felt were central to the development of the music he so ardently observed. Nevertheless, he was above all a musician, and the danger remains that his musicological reputation be allowed to overshadow the creative musical talent revealed by a body of composition as rich as it is varied. He advanced himself at every opportunity and excelled in each field he embraced: composing for the theatre and for the church, and active in the worlds of diplomacy and of music literature. The Pièces de Clavecin en Deux Volumes, published in London in 1714, appeared at a key period in Mattheson's life. In 1704, he had become tutor to the son of Sir John Wich, English ambassador in Hamburg. Mattheson composed his instrumental music during the period as instructor of Cyril Wich, the gran virtuoso to whom he dedicated, probably as early as 1705, a collection of sonatas for two harpsichords. The teaching process seems to have stimulated a desire to create his own technique, as well as contribute to the development of the repertoire especially intended for the harpsichord, the instrument he considered solely capable of realising and furthering the progress of music, and for which he championed an especially idiomatic style. In the Pièces de Clavecin Mattheson demonstrates a comprehensive command of the conventions of the suite combined with an undeniable mastery of the dominant French and Italian asthetics of his time, while maintaining the German penchant for counterpoint. He was part of the Vermischter Geschmack [Reunion of Tastes] movement, which culminated in the 1720-1724 French and English Suites of Johann Sebastian Bach. Mattheson's work also stands at the threshold of a new era, begun by Francois Couperin (in his Premier Livre of 1713) and Jean-Philippe Rameau (Deuxième and Troisième Livres of 1724 and 1728), whose works exercised great influence on suite composition right up until the end of the Ancien Regime. This recording hopes to promote a more general acquaintance with Johann Mattheson the musician, gifted composer and servant of musical progress.

The prodigious flowering of musical culture in the Imperial Court of Vienna in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is undoubtedly a phenomenon unique in the history of the city: four successiveemperors were themselves in their leisure time active musicians, and also enjoyed an excellent reputation as composers! This Cd shows us their musical world, with music both by the emperors and by their court composers. The wonderfull soprano Michaela Rieder performs a fine choice of the arias from operas that were staged at the Viennese court. As the founding members of the Calamus Consort are specialists of the early clarinet, they have chosen to perform fascinating pieces which involve chalumeaux and 18th century clarinets. All members of the group are often performing as soloists all over Europe, but also in ensembles and orchestras. They teach as lecturers in Vienna University, the Royal Academy of Music, Trossingen and the Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Frankfurt am Main.
