Ludwig van Beethoven compose le quintette pour vents et piano (op. 16), inspiré du quintette Kv. 452 de Mozart dont il reprend la même tonalité (Mi b Majeur). Son deuxième mouvement intègre d’ailleurs un air de Zerline de Don Giovanni. Ludwig Thuille, compositeur romantique, montre une extrême habileté dans l’écriture avec son sextuor pour vents et piano, que ce soit dans les diverses et ingénieuses combinaisons de timbres, ou dans la manière de traiter les solos. Au programme : L. v. Beethoven, L. Thuille. Cathy Brisswalter, flûte traversière / Fabrice Pourchot, hautbois / Christian Georgy, clarinette / Emma Cottet, cor / Benoît Tainturier, basson / Véronique Ngo Sach-Hien, piano.

At first, not really having a musical background, (although, my grandfather was a professional pianist), I only really liked music by Chopin and Bach, and definitely no vocal pieces. These two composers I got to know of almost by accident. But I thought to myself, why on earth am I only listening to works by these two? The others can’t all be garbage. So I got rid of my irrational musical prejudice and ended up loving loads of different stuff. Yay ! Anyway, it was very difficult to select five composers to highlight from such a huge array, and there are, if you will, gradations of well knownedness. So I have limited myself to choices from the romantic time period, probably my favourite era. 1. Doreen Carwithen (1922-2003) Doreen was born in Buckinghamshire, England. She had her first music lessons from her music teacher mother at the age of four. In 1947 the rank Organization started an apprenticeship scheme for composers to specialise infilm music. Doreen became the first to be selected from the Royal Academy of Music. She wrote, among other pieces, overtures, a concerto for strings and piano, chamber music and over thirty scores for films. She was married in 1975 to her composer friend William Alwyn and since she didn’t like the name Doreen, she used her middle name Mary. She founded the William Alwyn Foundation and Archive. Her last name Carwithen comes from an old Devonian family name dating back to the 1400s. I’ve selected the 1st movement of the passionate Violin Sonata, one of only 3 chamber works, (unfortunately for everyone), that she wrote. Some other works for violin and piano: Violin Sonata No. 2 in e minor, Op. 30 by Ludwig Thuille Violin Sonata No. 2 in D major, Op. 20, Poème by Georgy Catoire Violin Sonata in c-sharp minor, Op. 21 by Ernő Dohnányi David Pulsford, @lesser-known-composers

2. Heinrich von Herzogenberg (1843-1900)

Herzogenberg was born in Graz to a wealthy family. As a student he studied law and philosophy in Vienna, but abandoned this to be taught composition by (like Fuchs) Otto Dessoff. In 1868 he married Elizabeth von Stockhausen the daughter of Hanover's ambassador to Vienna. She had studied with Brahms. Around this time, now living in Graz, Herzogenberg was working as a freelance composer and writing larger scale works in a more Wagnerian style. However, he underwent a kind of stylistic transformation andpublished very little for a couple of years. 

In 1872 the couple moved to Leipzig and by this time Herzogenberg was writing more chamber music, with a Brahmsian influence. In 1874 he co founded the Bach Society, a year later he became director, a post which lasted for ten years. In 1892 his wife died aged only 44, followed two years later by his close friend Philipp Spitta. Herzogenberg's big influence was Brahms, who was very frugal with his approval of Heinrich's work. But for me, although their modus operandi may be similar, the harmonies and melodies are not, and through these writing differences reveal the different authors' characteristics. 

Here follows a heart piercingly beautiful song, possibly influenced by the tragedies mentioned above, performed by soprano Hélène Lindqvist and pianist Philipp Vogler of The Art Song Project.

Hermann Jadlowker (1877-1953) was an extraordinary Latvian tenor, whose career encompassed the opera stage, concert platform and the Synagogue. Born in Riga, Jadlowker joined the choir of the Great Choral Synagogue at the age of 12 and received his first vocal training there.  Intent on becoming a singer, he was constantly at odds with his father, who wished for his son to enter the business world.  Jadlowker left home at the age of 16, making his way to Vienna, where he was taken under the wing of Chazzan Mayer Schorr.  Schorr, father of famed baritone Friedrich Schorr, was the senior cantor of Vienna’s Temple Beth Israel and accepted the young tenor into the Synagogue’s choir.  In addition to his duties as a chorister, Jadlowker was pursuing studies at the Vienna Conservatory.  Following his graduation in the spring of 1897, the 20-year-old tenor travelled to Cologne to make his operatic debut.  The role was a small one…Vasco the shepherd… in Conradin Kreutzer's now forgotten opera Das Nachtlager von Granada. During the course of the next few seasons, Jadlowker sang with regional companies in Grmany and Austria including the theaters of Karlsruhe and Stettin.  He also graduated to leading roles, among them Tamino in Die Zauberflöte, Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni, des Grieux in Manon, the Duke in Rigoletto, Manrico in Il Trovatore, Gerard in Lakmé, Don José in Carmen and the title role in Faust.  When Kaiser Wilhelm II heard Jadlowker, he invited the tenor to the Hofoper Berlin (now the Berlin Staatsoper).  This would prove to be a long and satisfying association for Jadlowker, who remained with the company as principal tenor from 1901 to 1919.  The tenor also appeared in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Vienna, Amsterdam, Prague and other major world opera centers during this period. Jadlowker’s Metropolitan Opera debut took place on January 22, 1910 as Gounod’s Faust.  During his two seasons with the company, he sang 89 performances of 14 operas, including Faust, Madama Butterfly, La Bohème, Tosca, Pagliacci, Cavalleria Rusticana, Falstaff, The Bartered Bride, Der Freischütz and Lohengrin.  Jadlowker also sang the U.S. premieres of Wolf-Ferrari’s Le Donne Curiose, Ludwig Thuille’s Lobetanz and Leo Blech’s Versiegelt as well as the world premiere of Humperdinck’s Königskinder   Although reviews were mostly positive, Jadlowker was simply shuffled to the background in the Caruso dominated company.   Following a performance of Königskinder on March 16, 1912, Jadlowker left the Met, essentially bringing down the curtain on his international career. Jadlowker returned to Germany, where he divided his time primarily between Karlsruhe and Berlin.  He was Bacchus in the world premiere of Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos in in Stuttgart in 1912 as well as at the Berlin premiere a year later.  The tenor’s repertoire expanded, encompassing the leads in La Juive, Les Contes d’Hoffmann, Le Muette de Portici, Mignon, Fidelio, Parsifal, Don Carlo, L’Africaine and the title role in Verdi’s Otello.  Following the war, Jadlowker’s operatic appearances dwindled as he concentrated more and more on concerts and recitals.  In 1929, he abandoned his performing career to accept a position as principal cantor at the Great Choral Synagogue…the hometown temple where he had begun singing as a boy nearly 40 years earlier.   Within a few years, unfortunately, the Nazi regime and the wave of anti-Semitism had poisoned much of Europe and Jadlowker felt compelled to resign his post and leave his homeland.  In 1938, Jadlowker emigrated from Latvia to Palestine, eventually making his way to Tel Aviv where he became an Israeli citizen.  The tenor continued giving charity concerts and teaching up to the time of his death in 1953. Hermann Jadlowker left a legacy of over 230 discs, recorded between 1907 and 1927 for Odeon, Victor, Polydor and the Gramophone Company.  These recordings are a marvel to behold.  The technical proficiency one hears in these performances is absolutely stunning.  The precision of Jadlowker’s fioratura and trills have never been surpassed by any tenor in the history of the gramophone.  In this recording, Jadlowker gives a bravura performance of "Il mio tesoro" (or "Tränen vom Freund Getrocknet" as it is heard in German) from Mozart's Don Giovanni.
