Music from German Courts & Residences

Twenty-CD box set of works from the 18th and 19th century, discovered at various royal German residencies. These technically brilliant stereo recordings of these very rare works, have been performed by pioneers of the art of historical performance, including Anner Bylsma, Dieter Klöcker and many others. Awarded the "Premio della Critica Discografica Italiana".

Numerous invaluable manuscripts were found, many of which were presented to the public with these recordings for the first time. They revive the musical life in these castles and residences from a culturally exceedingly rich era. Notables could afford their own Court Opera and Orchestras and competed with each other, to hire the best artists, composers, and conductors of their time.

In the collection presented here, soloists and ensembles of our time raise these musical discoveries to their proper rank of the highest quality. They bring to life the works of composers, whose names are rarely found in today's concert programmes: Rosetti, Fiala, Daser, Leffloth, Küffner, as well as father Leopold and son Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart found enthusiastic audiences in German castles. All of this can be heard in the recordings and read about in the extensive liner notes to this extraordinary CD box set.
