Info zu Knecht: Le Portrait musical de la nature / Philidor: Overtures

Though he wrote a great deal of church music, and also composed for the theatre, Justin Heinrich Knecht is best remembered for his Grande Simphonie 'Le Portrait musical de la Nature'. Elegantly scored and completed in 1785, the depiction of nature in this eventful five-movement symphonic work predates Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony by almost a quarter of a century. Knecht's older French contemporary Philidor was the leading chess player of his time in addition to being a popular stage composer, whose overtures reveal the influence of the Italian school in their sparkling drama.

“There is no doubting that the Knecht symphony is a gracious piece and one that gives off a Mozartean glow. This is intensified by an extremely warm and radiant acoustic closely recorded...This is not all-conquering music but it is very pleasant and with more than a few flashes of freshness. If you enjoy tracking the contemporaries of Mozart and Beethoven do not pass up this opportunity.”
