Pan Classics

  • Porfeti della Quinta perfectly perform Philippe Verdelot

    Jan 11th, 2021 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, choral music, Classical music, Elam Rotem, Pan Classics, Philippe Verdelot, Porfeti della Qunta, renaissance music

    Philippe Verdelot one of the composers credited with developing the Italian madrigal. Though French, he spent most of his professional life in Florence. His publications spread throughout Europe and set the model for this Renaissance vocal form. Verdelot wrote mostly five- and six-voice madrigals. This release features some of his less-common four-voice madrigals. They were […]

  • Musica Fiorita explores early string quartets

    Sep 8th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Alessandro Scarlatti, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Giovanni Bononcini, Maddalena Lombardini, Noteworthy Release, Pan Classics

    Franz Joseph Haydn may be the father of the string quartet. But who was the grandfather? Musica Fiorita presents some candidates in this program of pre-Classical string quartets. The combination of two violins, viola, and cello was not common during the Baroque. Most instrumental ensembles included a basso continuo (keyboard plus cello) to fill out […]

  • Jana Semerádová in fine form with Richter and Stamitz

    Dec 30th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Concerto, Ensemble Casto, Franz Xaver Richter, Jana Semerádová, Johann Stamitz, Pan Classics

    I think the title of this release is just a little misleading. “Franz Xaver Richter, Johann Stamitz: Flute Concertos & Trios” suggests (to me) an album of two composers in equal measure. Not so. This release has one flute concerto by Stamitz. The other five selections are all Richter. It’s still a program of six […]

  • Ars Antiqua Austria energize Georg Muffat

    Jun 10th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Ars Antiqua Austria, Baroque music, CD Review, Classical music, early music, Georg  Muffat, Gunar Letzbor, Pan Classics

    Georg Muffat studied with Lully in Paris early in his career. In 1680, he journeyed to Venice to study with Corelli. Influences from both composers can be heard in his 1682 collection Armonico Tributo. The structure of the proto-concerto grossi resembles those of Corelli’s Opus 4, written around the same time. And the dance movements […]

  • Symphony Anthems of Pelham Humfrey – Music from a Life Cut Short

    Jul 16th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Edward Higgenbottom, Instruments of Time and Truth, Oxford Consort of Voices, Pan Classics, Pelham Humfrey

    This release features a selection of the nineteen symphony anthems written by Pelham Humfrey. Humfrey was the first of several English composers to achieve fame during the Restoration. He was well-regarded by Henry Purcell, John Blow, and Matthew Locke. And like Purcell, he died young, at the age of 27. Humfrey’s Symphony Anthems were written […]

  • Joseph Schuster String Quartets — as good as Mozart’s?

    Jan 10th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, Joseph Schuster, Pan Classics, Quartetto Joseph Joachim

    So just how good are these string quartets? Good enough to be attributed to Mozart. Joseph Schuster (1748-1812) wrote these six string quartets in 1780, on commission from Marquis Giuseppe Ximenes, an ardent amateur violinist. The Paduan-based Ximenes collected string quartets from all of the important composers of the day — including Mozart. The full […]

  • Cosmography of Polyphony Travels Well

    Aug 16th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Adrian Willaert, Alfonso Ferrabosco, Alonso Lobo, Anthony Holborn, Antoine Brumel, Carlo Gesualdo, CD Review, Classical music, early music, Hernando de Cabezón, Hester Groenleer, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Ockeghem, María Martínez Ayerza, Nicolas Gombert, Osbert Parsley, Pan Classics, Petri Arvo, Pierre Phalèse, Royal Wind Music

    Webster’s defines cosmography as “a description of the world.” In “Cosmography of Polyphony,” the Royal Wind Music describe their world of renaissance music through their concert repertoire. This ensemble of twelve recorder players presents music from Johannes Ockeghem (early 1500s) through Johann Sebastian Bach (mid-1700s). Playing polyphonic vocal works on instruments was standard practice in […]
