专辑简介
The 2 CDs in this Naxos ‘Discover’ series contain excerpts of 23 representative symphonies (150 minutes of music) of 23 important composers and that in very decent interpretations.
In the accompanying booklet Keith Harrison sketches a brief history of the symphony as a musical form, together with a short introduction of the life of the different composers, a succinct analysis of one of their major works and a historical context.
The origin of the symphony lies in the French and Italian ‘sinfonia’, an instrumental introduction (overture) or interpolation into a more extended work (an opera). In Italy with Alessandro Scarlatti, the overture became an independent instrumental work with three movements: fast, slow, fast.
Joseph Haydn should be considered as the father of the ‘Classical’ symphony, paving the way for such geniuses as Mozart and Beethoven.
Keith Anderson also analyzes technically the general form (movements) and the keys in which a classical symphony is written.
