Xenia Löffler (oboe) & Capricornus Consort Basel, Peter Barczi
The Capricornus Consort Basel, highly praised by critics for their sensible interpretations on their recordings of Erlebach, Graupner and Manfredini, now presents instrumental music of the early Classical period. Franz Xaver Richter 1709-1789 was one of the most important members of the so-called 'Mannheim School', based at the Mannheim court, the orchestra of which was said to be the best of its time. Prince-Elector Charles Theodore gathered the best singers and instrumentalists in his residencies in Mannheim and Schwetzingen. His generosity meant the Stamitz Family, Christian Cannabich, Charles Joseph Toeschi, Ignaz Holzbauer and Franz Xaver Richter all contributed to the development of the Mannheim style and thus exerted considerable influence.
Richter, F X:
Oboe Concerto
Sinfonia con fuga in G minor (Boer 29)
Sinfonia in G minor
Sonata for 2 violins, cello & continuo in A minor, No 6, Op 4
Symphony in B flat major
Trio sonata, Op. 3, No. 3
"Richter played in the virtuoso Mannheim orchestra and so has been labelled an early classicist, but on this evidence he is a fascinating link between the baroque and the next musical era. Generally easy on the ear, flowing gracefully, his idiom then springs surprises...Quite a find."
