Aufschnaiter: Concors Discordia op.6

Undertone and submissive in courtly services - this does not seem to have been the Passau cathedral and court kapellmeister Benedict Anton Aufschnaiter (1665-1742). He approached his employer self-confidently, almost rebelliously, but it seems that he could afford it, because his serenades from the collection "Concors discordia" were very popular at court. But it is also ravishing divertissement music that succeeds Jean Baptiste Lully The L'Orfeo Baroque Orchestra with its conductor Michi Gaigg has now recorded this courtly table music for cpo for the first time and given the six serenades, which in print are designed only for strings, a wonderfully colourful garment In the spirit of the times and - like Aufschnaiter himself - in the footsteps of Georg Muffat: with extended wind instrumentation (oboe, bassoon (recorder)n), differentiated basso continuo and percussion A feast for the ears!
