About

In the booklet for this CD, Sir Peter Jonas – Director of the Bayerische Staatsoper and inspirational headmaster of the Baroque era at the Münchner Nationaltheater writes: “In this unique CD, Axel Wolf records opera arias from Johann Adolf Hasse who, following the rediscovery of Handel, Monteverdi and Cavalli, is finally receiving the recognition he deserves.”

Hasse, born in Bergedorf near Hamburg, was employed at the court of the Electoral Saxonian in Dresden for over thirty years following engagements in Braunschweig and Naples. A manuscript, from an unknown hand but dated to that era, transposed the arias of Hasse’s operas, which were popular at the time, for the lute. Thereby the arranger kept with the fashion of the time by arranging the piece for chamber music and private performances.

Axel Wolf is a regular guest at the Bayerische Staatsoper and performs as a soloist in concert as well as with ensembles such as the Musica Fiata (Cologne), the Freiburger Barockorchester, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Gabrieli Consort & Players London.
