The ensemble Notturna under the direction of oboist Christopher Palameta
has unearthed repertoire in several archives worthy of rediscovery. On
this album they present as world premiere recording Berlin Chamber Music
at the time of Friedrich dem Großen (Frederick the Great). The
commonality of the selected sonatas by respected composers such as
Johann Gottlieb Janitsch (1708-1763), Christian Gottfried Krause
(1717-1770) and Johann Gottlieb Graun (1703-1771) is the solo instrument
oboe. In the shadow of the flute, the favorite instrument of Friedrich
dem Großen (Frederick the Great), the role of the oboe at the Prussian
Court was underestimated for a long time. However there is still a
variety of sonatas and concerts for this instrument which survived from
this time. The Quintet in A minor by Graun, who was concertmaster of the
Royal Court Orchestra since 1741, is characterized by frequent and
unexpected changes of affects, dynamics and harmonies in order to
achieve expressive and sentimental effects. In contrast to this work are
the Trio Sonata in A minor, the Quadro Sonata in B-flat major and the
Trio Sonata in G major by Janitsch, who became a violinist in the Court
Orchestra in 1736. His works are much more influenced by a gallant style
with varied melodies. The Trio Sonata in D minor by Krause is
particularly fascinating in its original third movement, in which the
oboe enters into a dialogue with the violin. A recording of beautiful
Baroque music in unique interpretations.The ensemble Notturna under the direction of oboist Christopher Palameta
