Extraordinary! Written with much joy and feelings.. It is a real gift of our times to be able to hear works like this at home.. And of course with the patient work that PAU brings to us every day! Thank you PAU, may you be able to continue your work for a long time and that we live long enough to hear your jewels! 😀
Thanks for posting. Lovely sound, the composer obviously knew this instrument well, as did Mozart and the performance is great! From a happy amateur viola player.
Very joyful concerto. Style looks like Mysliveček, anyhow along the route of current general style of the period in Central Europe. Excellent balance between orchestra and soloist (obviously alto gives it a special taste vs violin). Influence of Czech authors onto Mozart is quite clear. Wolfgang absorbed their style as well as Mannheimer ones and JC Bach and others. Mozart is great but hadn't born out of the blue and must have been grateful to elder masters if only few years older than him.
Preciosísimo Concierto para Viola de la época clásica, no me canso de escucharlo. Tiene mucha razón el maestro Cermák cuando afirma que tiene en muy alta estima la obra del gran compositor Josef Puschmann. Gracias, sr. Pau NG, por compartirlo!
The music you supply is always a pleasure, particularly from composers that are not so well known, composer that have almost slipped into obscurity. Josef Puschmann is one of them. If I may correct one small mistake. He was not an Austro-Hungarian composer, as Austria-Hungary only came into being in 1867. Austrian Empire would be correct here. Thank you for your marvellous contributions here.
Dear Mr. Publicist of this wonderful music composed by my very favourite composer, can I ask you, from where have you resource for the info, that Puschmann studied from 1773 in Vienna? Many thanks, Yours sincerelly Marek Czermak (www.musicafiguralis.cz). See you there more Puschmanns recordings:)
Dear Marek, my source is the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (entry by JIŘÍ SEHNAL): Josef Puschmann (b Červená Voda, 28 July 1738; d Olomouc, before 4 Feb 1794). Czech composer. From early childhood he learnt several instruments and soon began to compose. From 1750 he was a pupil at the Augustinian monastery in Brno, where he sang alto and played the violin. About 1762 he entered the service of Baron Skrbenský in Hošt’álkovy, Silesia, as valet and musician, and in 1764 he married Josepha Hönigschmid. Three years later he transferred to Count Ignác Dominik Chorinský (1729-92) in Velké Hoštice, Silesia, whose castle orchestra he directed until 1777. For the Opava Minorites in 1768 he composed a sacred melodrama entitled Singspiel über das Leben des … Heiligen Joseph von Copertin. In 1773 Puschmann was sent by Count Chorinský to study in Vienna, and in 1777 he composed a cantata for two voices to celebrate the wedding of the count's daughter Marie with Erasmus Ludwig von Stahremberg, and in the same year he applied for the post of cathedral musical director in Olomouc to succeed Anton Neumann, taking it up the next year and holding it until his death. Both as a person and as an artist Puschmann was the most remarkable of the Olomouc Cathedral musical directors. Apart from his duties in the cathedral, he took part in the musical academies which Archbishop Colloredo organized in his palace, and he continued to keep up his musical contacts with his former employer, Count Chorinský. He composed both secular and sacred music, of which his instrumental works are in an early Classical style with Rococo traits. His dramatic works and cantatas are known only through the printed librettos.

Btw, I really love Musica Figuralis ensemble and the 18th Century works from neglected composers! I really appreciate your output! I tried to find where I could hear your music by composers such as: Maurus Haberhauer (1746-1799): Missa in C et Motetto de Sctissimo Sacramento in C Joseph Puschmann (1738-1794): Sinfonia III in C (Gradualia solenniore) et Te Deum Joseph Schreyer (1718 - ?)

Ein wunderschönes Conzert. Klangvoll, lebendig, melodiös, aber auch ruhend im Andante, sehr schön mit vielseitigem Ausdruck. Danke für das Video.
So etwas von schöööön. Ungestüm frisch vorwärts treibend, schwungvoll und fröhlich.
Sentido y bello Concierto. Música de profunda inspiración.
Wir können Pau gar nicht genug danken für die wundervollen Werke, die er "ausgräbt" und uns damit beschenkt. 1000 mal DANKE! ❤❤❤❤❤
My pleasure! 😃
Viele Komponisten sind vom Publikum unbekannt....Es ist Leide....

Just exquisite... beautiful piece of work, and wonderfully performed. Thank you for sharing it.

Delightful music with another revelation to me. Thank you Pau NG for this upload.
Appreciate the mellow tones of the viola having a rare chance to shine...
This is the first time I hear his name and his music,thanks for the uploaded
Un concerto molto bello.
Beautiful
Typical baroque. Sweet. Pauchmann compositions must enter concert halls.
Magnifico! Sembra Alessandro Rolla! Si capisce subito che è un'opera della maturità dell'Artista...

Perhaps another German-speaking, or Germanised, Czech (Bohemian) composer. So many of them from that time.

Don’t Puschmann ; but stay and listen to this lovely concerto with a look towards Mozart. A chance to listen to the viola ‘s mellow tone ❤️
