Description:

Ian Page & Mozartists. A New Major Project, Volume 2 of "Gale and Rage"! Mozart specialist Ian Page has made a name for himself with his recordings of Mozart's early works, conducting classical opera. Ian Page's new ensemble, the Mozartisz, formed in 2017, has a new major project, "Sturm und Drang"! This ambitious seven-volume series explores the Gale and Rage movement that swept the art world from the 1760s to the 1780s, incorporating masterpieces by Haydn, Mozart, Gluck, and others, as well as lesser-known works and neglected favorites. Volume 1 (SIGCD619), which combines Haydn's "Passion" symphony with rare repertoire by Yommelli, Beck, Traetta, and others, was a success, winning "Editor's Choice" in the British Gramophone magazine.The following two volumes, all composed between 1765 and 1770, consist of symphonies by Franz Joseph Haydn, Johann Baptiste Vanhal, and Johann Christian Bach (the 11th son of the great Bach), sung by Swedish mezzo-soprano Ida Lenslave, The composition is interspersed with operatic arias by Christoph Willibald Gluck, Josef Myslivacek, and others. The intuitive and dynamic "gale-force" winds of the present day are brought to life in this performance by a virtuoso ensemble of ancient instrumentalists led by Ian Page. Tokyo M-Plus
