About

Anton Wranitzky (1761-1820), a near-contemporary of Beethoven, was a leading figure in Vienna’s highest musical circles. He was under the patronage of Prince Lobkowitz and in that capacity he led the world premieres of Beethoven’s 3rd and 6th symphonies. Beethoven held him in high esteem as a composer.

Wranitzky’s skills and originality are shown in these two works for string ensemble. Both the Quintet, in the unusual combination of 1 violin, 2 violas and 2 cellos, and the Sextet (2 of each instrument) create fascinating deep sonorities from the ensemble.

Ensemble Cordia present these beautiful works for the first time on CD, played on original instruments by leading specialists in the Early Music field. The ensemble has already won high critical acclaim for their earlier recordings for Brilliant (Telemann, Baroque arias and others).
