Fasch: Orchestral Works Vol. 4

2024CHAN-0829

This volume of modern premieres of works by Johann Friedrich Fasch was recorded during a program that opened the 2023 International Fasch Festival in Zerbst, the city in which the composer was Capellmeister to the princely court. Fasch, a German violinist and composer, falls in the transitional period between the High Baroque and Classical eras. Tempesta di Mare has been fascinated by Fasch’s very distinctive voice since 2007, when they became aware of manuscript part books for several as-yet unpublished orchestral works held at the Dresden Library. Co-directed by husband and wife team Gwyn Roberts (recorder and baroque flute) and Richard Stone (lute and theorbo), the Philadelphia-based period instrument ensemble has been investigating, discovering, and performing works by Fasch every season since then. This album of world premiere recordings is the fourth volume of such discoveries.
