When we think of Baroque composers, names like Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi usually come to mind. But what did Baroque music sound like in contemporary Vienna or in the grand residences of Hungarian aristocrats? This is what awaits the audience of the opening concert of the 41st Early Music Days.
Johann Joseph Fux, a legendary theorist of counterpoint in his time, greatly influenced even the Viennese Classics with his teachings. Gregor Joseph Werner, after his time in Melk Abbey and Vienna, became a musician in the Esterházy court. Much of his body of work still lies undiscovered in the National Széchényi Library, but thanks to ongoing research, one of his masses will be performed at this concert.
The evening closes with two compositions by Francesco Bartolomeo Conti, an Italian composer active in Vienna. Even to Bach, Conti is a contemporary and respected figure who has faded into obscurity. His mass, which concludes the program, is one of his major works, yet it hasn’t been heard for hundreds of years. Be among the lucky few to experience its rediscovery live!
