Seyfried / Breuss / Skamletz - Cherubini In Wien - Music CD

The works of this production with the Austrian ensemble Concerto Stella Matutina are closely connected with Luigi Cherubini's (1760-1842) visit to Vienna in the summer of 1805, whose opera Faniska, which premiered there, became a triumphant success. In Vienna he not only composed the new interlude music for the successful piece Lodoiska, the young Hummel also paid him a special homage. The soloist Herbert Walser-Breuss plays this popular work on a historical keyed trumpet, as the interpreter of the world premiere had used it. Concerto Stella Matutina is fortunate in being able to combine the freshness and commitment of a relatively young orchestra with the many years' experience of it's members in some of Europe's foremost baroque ensembles. The number of engagements for the baroque orchestra, both at home and abroad, has risen steadily since it's foundation in 2005. CSM has it's own concert series in Vorarlberg. In addition to performing well-known masterpieces, the musicians also focus particular attention on neglected works of the 17th and 18th centuries and continue to widen their horizon by the implementation of the most recent discoveries in performance practice.
