Christian Schmitt - European Chamber Soloists - Nicol Matt
This is a first class offering. Not only do we get to listen to excellent Czech music, we get to hear it in exceptional digital sound.
Brixi's concerti move along efficiently from one idea to the next and Chrsitian Schmitt's choice of the Weimbs organ in Cologne and the European Chamber Soloists led by Nicol Matt are the perfect compliment.
Phrasing, balance and just the right amount of anticipation keeps these works interesting. It's not as if all involved are teetering on the brink of dull interpretation, contrarily, if we expected more than what these musicians give us the music would be disastrous. Pensive, delightful, regal, Brixi's concerti are simple compositions that are easy and fun to listen to.
My favorites are the 1st and 8th concerti that Brixi scored with tympani.
As I mentioned above, the recorded sound by Reinhard Geller is first class. How he captured the musicians' sound in this wonderful acoustic is breathtaking. Brilliant Classics has done wonders reissuing but its original productions such as this Brixi compilation are simply astounding.
This is wonderful acquisition for anyone who's familiar with the organ concerti of Handel and Haydn.
