This album by the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra
playing on period instruments under the direction
of Aapo Häkkinen includes Ludwig van Beethoven?s
(1770-1827) complete incidental music to Goethe?s
Egmont. This complete music includes parts sung by
soprano Elisabeth Breuer as well as spoken texts
narrated by Robert Hunger-Bühler.

Beethoven started to write the incidental music to
Goethe?s Egmont in the autumn of 1809. The recent
experience of Napoleon?s siege of Vienna, the
Spanish uprising against the French, and the
ubiquitous awareness of the hand of the oppressor
inspired him to write music in which the drama
develops into the musical vision of the Wars of
Liberation. It was a commission from the
management of the Imperial Court Theatre in
Vienna, which in October 1809, oppressed by
Napoleon on all sides, had turned again to Egmont,
with a view to putting on a new production.
Beethoven was tasked with providing the essential
and indispensable music, which was however played
only from the fourth performance of the new
production in June 1810. Beethoven had recently
become an ardent reader and admirer of Goethe. He
had set Mignon?s song Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
four times in 1808 alone, and this had started an
intense preoccupation with songs to Goethe texts.
In a letter to Bettina von Arnim in February 1811
Beethoven writes: 'My most sincere admiration ?
for Goethe ? I am about to write to him myself
about Egmont, for which I have written the music,
which I did out of sheer love for his poetry ??.
What distinguishes Beethoven?s Egmont are great
dramatic emotion of style, tightly unified musical
ideas, and an absolute determination to create a
sense of the triumph of freedom as the Utopian
dream of the whole of mankind. The overture, the
only one of the ten numbers to be heard regularly
today in the concert-hall, draws all these
intentions together in concentrated form. Its
meaning is revealed only in context, together with
the interludes and the final musical episodes.

For twenty years, Helsinki Baroque Orchestra?s
performances and recordings have been captivating
audiences with a potent combination of emotional
eloquence and infectious vitality. Their
programmes frequently include first modern
performances of unpublished or reconstructed
masterpieces, and also shed unexpected and often
provocative new light on more familiar works.
Their music-making has contributed to the
ensemble?s reputation as a major exponent of
Baltic and German Baroque music. Helsinki
Baroque?s sound has enthralled listeners from the
Cologne Philharmonie to Tokyo?s Suntory Hall and
the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and at major
festivals such as Bergen, Bremen, Rheingau, and
Jerusalem.

Aapo Häkkinen is known as a distinguished chamber
musician and director. Häkkinen has collaborated
with several well-known artists around the world
and programmed opera performances. Besides the
harpsichord, he regularly performs on the organ,
on the clavichord, and on the fortepiano. He has
commissioned, given premieres, and recorded music
by various composers. He teaches at the Sibelius
Academy and at international masterclasses (Tokyo
University of Arts, Universidad Nacional de
México, Kulturstiftung Marienmünster, Bratislava,
Sofia, Tallinn, Tampere, Turku, Zagreb Academies
of Music). He is Artistic Director of the Helsinki
Baroque Orchestra and of the Helsinki
Musiikkitalo Early Music Series as well as the
Janakkala Baroque Festival.
