Giovanni Antonini, Kammerorchester Basel
Under the title Gli impresari, The Impresarios ?
i.e. the directors of the theatre troupes that
Nikolaus I, Prince Esterházy engaged to perform in
his opera houses ? this CD gathers together some
of the orchestral works by Joseph Haydn linked by
their origin and their reception; they were
originally conceived as theatre music, before
their metamorphosis into symphonies (?)The period
from 1772 onwards, when Karl Wahr was responsible
for for the summer theatre programme at Esterháza,
saw the peak of the multidisciplinary
collaboration taking place between the court
music directed by Haydn and companies engaged from
outside. (?) At the end of 1775 and the beginning
of 1776, while Joseph Haydn was occupied in
transforming his music for Collé?s comedy into a
symphony for concert performance, Karl Wahr was
enjoying enormous success with his theatrical
entertainments in the ballroom at the theatre in
Salzburg. It was there, on 3 January 1776, that
Thamos, King of Egypt was staged, a heroic drama
whose choruses, musicologists now believe, were
composed by none other than Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart; for this Salzburg performance he also
composed four instrumental entractes (recorded for
this disc) as well as a melodrama and a Don
Giovanni-esque descent into hell. Christian
