Parnassi Musici (Margaret MacDuffie, Matthias Fischer - violin | Matthias Müller - viola da gamba | Hubert Hoffmann - archlute | Helene Lerch - organ, harpsichord)
This CD is a major addition to the limited discography of German Baroque composer Johann Philipp Krieger, who was born in Nürnberg in 1649 and died in Weisenfels in 1725. This puts him more than a generation before Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Despite Krieger's apparent readiness to travel – he spent several formative years in Copenhagen, and journeyed to Italy later in the 1670s – I've come across no evidence that he and Bach ever became personally acquainted.
Like Bach, Krieger made contributions to many genres. There are operas (he wrote 18 of them, of which none survive today), many cantatas (similarly lost to posterity, with a few exceptions), and instrumental music, including works for organ. In addition to the trio sonatas recorded here, there is a set of sonatas for violin, viola da gamba, and basso continuo, published in 1693.
[…] Parnassi musici appears to have made the decision to add viola da gamba (plus or minus lute) to the basso continuo in all of the sonatas, with the exception of Sonata #3. Sonically, it was a happy decision. The ear immediately responds to the richness of the basso continuo in the very first sonata, in which the viola da gamba, the lute, and the organ blend together most attractively, providing a complementary setting for the two violins.
Each sonata requires about five minutes to play. The sonatas are sectional, but they are not divided into clearly distinguishable movements. Krieger's travels are reflected in these trio sonatas. Although the primary style is German, one can detect hints of an Italian influence as well.
The members of Parnassi musici […] all play period instruments. While the interpretations are sober, the tonal richness of the playing ensures pleasure. Furthermore, with the different instrumentation from sonata to sonata, the ear doesn't grow tired of the music. This is a CD one can enjoy all the way through. I did.
