Hasse - Sinfonia in D major

[NotHomelessAnymore]

There's something elegantly symmetrical about Hasse's music yet it's still coarsing with energy. Very underpraised composer.

Thanks for posting. I enjoyed it enough that I bought it from iTunes.

Ahh, que pena, eu queria ouvir um pouco de Hasse, o compositor que antecedeu Tunder (que antecedeu Buxtehude) na Marienkirche.

[Kwanelauda]

mas, entao o qué é o que estamos a ouvir? ¿nao é o Hasse?

[skeptikulo]

Me refiro a Peter Hasse (1585 - 1640), desculpe. Dos seus trabalhos sobreviveram apenas 3 obras para órgão e 2 para coral, mas eu nunca ouvi essas obras. O interessante que Peter Hasse é tátara-avô do Johann Adolf Hasse.

It reminds me of some sinfonias of CPE Bach....

[umbrellano]

Does Hasse always go this pace and stride in this manner? Even the Andante sounds like a march.

[HARMONICO101]

Generally, yes. He was primarily an opera composer so his style is certainly energetic and dramatic.

[Garpinator]

We shouldn't think of this as a "Symphony". In the Baroque Era the word sinfonia was often used as a synonym of "Overture". Since Hasse was an Opera composer, I suspect that this is actually a type of overture in 3 movements.

It is the Ouverture of Cleofide

[Kwanelauda]

That's right!

[ClassicalMusicReview]

Reinhard Goebel has certainly blazed a trail across German Galanterie of the mid eighteenth century.I find this dutiful but not one of his better performances.Beyond some fine dynamic contouring he seems to be grasping at straws...

you left out the hautboys! we're there, col parte with the fiddles! :D

[HARMONICO101]

Oh of course, I'm sorry. I'm often so anxious to get the music uploaded that I often make errors in my descriptions.

Thank you.

No fue un genio pero ha sido injustamente borrado del mapa de los conciertos y las guias de música clasica

no le conocen ni en su pais.

[Kwanelauda]

Muy buena música ¿no así?

[UlimorUdamenta]

Once again, Lovely music Harmonico...

Muchas gracias por darme a conocer a ese maestro de Barroco.

[naasrddad]

Thank you for introducing me to so many wonderful composers.

Lovely music from a lessor known composer. The painting is fantastic! Do you know what location it is?

[HARMONICO101]

The painting is of the city of Dresden, where Hasse lived for most of his life.

[claudioalexenrique]

Utterly amazing music by Hasse! Thank you for uploading this jewel of the baroque period.
