Topic: Giuseppe Sammartini


In the News (Mon 6 Jul 09)

  
  Giovanni Battista Sammartini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Battista Sammartini (1700 or 1701 – 1775 in Milan) was an Italian composer, organist, choirmaster and teacher.
He counted Gluck among his students, and was himself a prolific composer of 3 operas, over 70 symphonies, concertos and chamber music, which show, the symphonies especially, the beginnings of a change from the brief opera-overture style and the introduction of a new seriousness and use of thematic development that prefigure Haydn and Mozart.
Sammartini's works are referred to, in publications or recordings, either by the opus number they received in his lifetime, or by the J-C numbers they receive in the Jenkins-Churgin catalog referred to below.

According to Burney, Giuseppe came here in 1723, but Hawkins stated the year as 1729, yet his 12 Sonatas were published here on October 16, 1727.
Quantz had heard Sammartini in his home town, Milan, in 1726, but in London the composer was championed by Bononcini and Dr. Green, and he landed the post of oboist in the opera orchestra.
Together with Arrigoni, they performed concerts which ‘surpassed all that had been before heard, raising it (the oboe) to great importance.’ Having left the Opera, he was patronised by Frederick, Prince of Wales and his wife, holding the position of Musical Director of the Chamber Concerts, as part of their household.

Their career paths were quite different, Giovanni being born and then dying in Milan while Giuseppe eventually settled in bustling London for the last twenty or so years of his life.
Giuseppe’s more cosmopolitan existence is reflected in his music on the disc which displays a pragmatic ability to adjust his style.
He features also in Giuseppe’s Trio in F major for 2 recorders which for me was the most enjoyable work in spite of its three movements lasting little more than five minutes.

Not to be confused with his better-remembered, prolific younger brother Giovanni Battista, Giuseppe Sammartini was equally renowned in his day, though more as an instrumentalist than a composer.
While both siblings received oboe training early on from their virtuoso father, Giuseppe left his native Milan in his early 30s for a position in Handel's orchestra in London, where he would eventually settle for the rest of his life.
Sammartini employs just two violins, cello, and contrabass, and this chamber approach allows for great clarity and gracefulness, though at the expense of some typically Handelian grandeur.

 Gonzalo X Ruiz: baroque oboist extraordinaire
The first work on the program is a sonata in G major by Giuseppe Sammartini that begins with one of the loveliest pastoral movements in the oboe's repertoire.
Sammartini was a legend in his day and is mostly remembered as "Handel's oboist".
Sammartini's oboe was pitched a half step higher than was the norm in London at the time, so Handel had to write these three arias with a half step difference between the oboe solo and the rest of the orchestra.

 Premiere Music Distributors - BAROQUE RECORDER CONCERTOS: Pamela Thorby & Sonnerie (SACD Hybrid)
In this, her debut as a solo artist in her own right, Pamela is able to follow her instincts as a musician, and create an album of remarkable individuality and character.
She brings the word 'baroque' associations that it has in art and architecture of florid decoration, rather than the implications of formality and restrained expression sometimes, quite wrongly, found in its musical usage.
Thorby has in fact been playing it in G for some years beofer the musicological evidence came to light; the result is thoroughly convincing.

Sammartini: Sonata in D Minor for two recorders
The Sonata in D-Minor by Giuseppe Sammartini has been a long-time favorite with recorder players despite some odd stylistic features.
In the third movement, for example, the setting is rather odd, with the two top parts playing repeated notes in a slow tempo, whereas the bass line and the chord progression are slow with very little motion.

 MOSTLY MOZART: MICHALA PETRI, RECORDER SOLOIST - New York Times
In Giuseppe Sammartini's Sonata in F for Descant Recorder and Strings and the Vivaldi Sopranino Recorder Concerto in C (a piece we often hear with piccolo today), Miss Petri's approach to the music was modest and straightforward and her rapid passage work virtually perfect.
The Vivaldi was the more brilliant of the two pieces, but perhaps Sammartini had more musically to tell us.
Mozart came later in the proceedings - first the early concerto written at 17 (with the new finale he added nine years later) and then the E-Flat Symphony (No. 39), which is Mozart at his most mature.
