Bach / Schaffrath / Keinknecht / Beethoven- Sturm Und Drang 1 (CD)
There is an interesting and innovative concept here in attempt to link musical Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) with the mid-eighteenth century literary movement from which it took it's name. Short readings in the original German (none longer than forty seconds, if this idea worries you) are interspersed between each work... (Fanfare) CHURNED UP... Texts of this time, recited like mottos between the pieces for hammer clavier or wind instruments with continuo, remind US of the literary origin of the uprising against common sense and convention; the well-researched booklet essays on social and musical history complete the product. The Munich Rococo Soloists vividly and dramatically present the mixed-up, bubbling nature of this music; the compositions with their lasting effect and often with exaggerated baroque rhetoric are explosive... (FAZ)
