Mr Harrach’s Musical Diaries
Concerti & Sonate by Giuseppe Sammartini, Lelio Colista, Giovanni Adolfo Hasse, Domenico Sarro, Antonio Caldara, Leonardo Vinci, Leonardo Leo, Nicola Fiorenza, Antonio Maria Montanari, Giovanni Antonio Piani
The Austrian Count von Harrach was a diplomat, statesman, the viceroy of ÂNaples, and an enthusiastic collector of art. Yet he also loved music so much that he commissioned works from his friends and from renowned composers.
We can assume that Harrach probably also played the recorder himself, as the recently found manuscripts Âcollected by and Âassociated with Harrach Âcontain a conspicuously great number of Âcompositions for flauto dolce, ranging from sonatas, pieces of chamber Âmusic, concerti da camera and solo concertos – a new treasure trove!
Maurice Steger has been to investigate, and here presents a collection of works which Count Harrach collected during his travels in Italy and brought home with him as souvenirs – previously Âunheard music at first hand!
