Johann Ernst: Complete Violin Concertos

SCHUMANN KNEBEL ENSEMBLE ""FUERSTEN-MUSIK""

Part of the Thuringia Cantat series which documents the musical diversity in this German region, this album brings attention to and honors a composer who died at the young age of 18 and has since been overlooked by today’s cultural memory: Prince Johann Ernst of Saxe-Weimar.; For the first time on CPO, the young prince’s concertos are being presented in complete form. In addition to his concertos, the album includes the harpsichord transcriptions of Bach based on these compositions.; This project was supervised and designed by musicologist Dr. Manfred Fechner of Jena, who also wrote the very informative and user-friendly booklet text.
