Im Dienste des Königs

Im Dienste des Königs

0 - Default Title
Description
The CD-production The Kings Men puts three composers centre-stage who have one thing in common: they were all whether at the same time or in succession harpsichordists at the Königliche Hofkapelle of Frederick the Great in Berlin. The composers in question are Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Christoph Nichelmann, and Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch. Appropriately, the young performer Jermaine Sprosse has chosen works for harpsichord or fortepiano for his debut recording. The choice of instrument harpsichord or fortepiano is determined by the expressive content and character of the individual work. As colourful and diverse as the instrumentation are Jermaine Sprosses performances. He breathes new life into an essential feature of eighteenth-century performance practice: the use of varied repeats. At times improvised ad hoc, these varied repeats allow the performer to engage in an active dialogue with the notated score, the music itself, and last but not least with the composer himself. The result: lively and multifaceted music from the context of Frederick IIs court.
