Reinhard Goebel - Beethoven's World - Reicha, Romberg - Concertos for Two Cellos (2020) [Official Digital Download]

Already the first album of Reinhard Goebel's recording project "Beethoven's world" with violin concertos by Franz Clement (1780-1842) received great attention and excellent reviews worldwide. Die Welt am Sonntag even dedicated two pages to the composer as an outstanding discovery and concluded: "if the discovery of Beethoven's contemporaries, which Goebel has just made for the Beethoven year, goes on like this, it will be a fine year."SWR2 also praised the project: "after these two violin concertos by Clement, Reinhard Goebel promises even more exciting explorations from Beethoven's world."Now Sony Classical releases the second Album with two rarities by Beethoven contemporaries: There are few concertos for 2 cellos and orchestra and even fewer in the quality shown here: the Concertino op. 72 by Bernhard Romberg (1767-1841) is a world premiere recording. The work is a gigantic Tour de Force with only the most necessary breaks for the two soloists and a Bolero Finale in which all the stops are really pulled left and right. The mind-boggling virtuoso Sinfonia Concertante by Antonín Reicha (1770-1836) is full of creative experiments, and has clear references to Beethoven's new musical grammar. These double cello concertos were recorded with cellists Stephan Koncz and Bruno Delepelaire and the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserslautern under the direction of Reinhard Goebel. Another world premiere recording worth discovering in Beethoven's surroundings is the third work on the Album: a "Divertisment for Carnival Tuesday" by the composer and then Viennese court orchestra master Joseph von Eybler.
