Description
In January 2007 Tempesta di Mare premiered in modern times four large-scale orchestral works by Johann Friedrich Fasch, a contemporary of Bach and Telemann. Richard Stone of Tempesta di Mare describes the pieces as 'fantastic, true discoveries... they have the breadth and complexity of J.S. Bach without the austerity, and have a much more evolved sense of orchestral colour that's truly extraordinary'. The concert was titled 'The Fantastic Herr Fasch' - A Genius Rediscovered, and presented a gigantic five-movement orchestral suite, two concerti for orchestra and an 'Andante'. The works in this concert were recorded for this CD release, which means that all the energy and enthusiasm of the concert performance are here for all to appreciate.Tempesta di Mare are the Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Players and have a lively and enterprising concert schedule locally. The ensemble's recording for Chandos of Handel's German Arias with Julianne Baird was released in July 2007. Of that recording 'American Record Guide' wrote, 'The players of Tempesta di Mare supply a lovely, understated accompaniment that is historically informed but without any ornamental gimmickry'.Also available: CHAN 0707 Weiss: Lute Concerti CHAN 0743 Handel: Nine German Arias""
