I love how sweet and beautiful the woodwinds play (especially the flutes) and the horns. The strings are good too. This is the best! Thank you, Academy of Ancient Music!
I'd love to hear recordings of this opera! As well as Das Jahrmarktsfest zu Plundersweilern, because it's such excellently tuneful. (Also wouldn't mind hearing her symphony since I presume the score still exists.)
Wonderful music from an incredibly talented and cultured person. The Dutchess should be better known. Granted as the ruler of her state she had tremendous opportunities, but she showed what a smart woman could do even given the obstacles that existed then.
No keyboard continuo? Really? The bass line, style, and period all seem to demand it, from my experience. This truly surprises me, and not in a good way.
@@zengier9191 No. Actually, continuo playing continued to be used right into the first decade of the 19th century. Beethoven, in fact, specifically wrote out the continuo part in his 5th piano concerto. It was quite normal and routine for it to be used with the music of Mozart and Haydn and their contemporaries.
@Arturo’s Michelangeli um, no, not really. In the 18th century, composers routinely would *not* indicate continuo instruments in the score, because it was an understood 'given' that a continuo instrument would automatically be called for and used. It was *so* routinely understood that they did not feel the need to write it down in their scores. This is a well known fact in musicalogy.
By the time of Beethoven in the 1st decade of the 19th century however, it *was* felt necessary to specify a continuo instrument. Beethoven did this explicitly in his Piano Concerto No. 5., where he particularly wrote out in great detail the entire continuo part. (Almost universally ignored by most modern conductors and performers, alas.)

Vivaldi concertos for violins.

I think this is nearing the end of classical that's why there's no continou like the baroque. Correct me if im wrong.
