 Joseph Martin Kraus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Martin Kraus (1756-1792) as a student in Erfurt.
Kraus was born in the central German town of Miltenberg in Franconia, the son of a civil clerk Joseph Bernhard Kraus and Anna Dorothea née Schmidt.
When Kraus returned from his Grand Tour in 1787, he was appointed as director of curriculum at the Royal Academy of Music, and the next year he succeeded Francesco Antonio Uttini as Kapellmästare, eventually attaining a reputation as an innovative conductor, progressive pedagogue, and multi-talented composer.

 Joseph Martin Kraus (1756-1792)
Kraus was commissioned to compose music for the opening ceremonies in St Nicolai Church on 9th March 1789, consisting of a grand procession followed by an extensive church symphony.
Kraus was on this tour precisely to extend his knowledge of music to the benefit of the Swedish court.
Kraus' music was calculated to outline the spectacle, and while it admirably served its purpose, the most unusual feature was that the entrance march itself was an adaptation of a march from the first act of Mozart's Idomeneo, re di Creta, an opera that according to Daniel Heartz, represents the beginning of Mozart's mature style.

When Kraus died and could no longer show up in person and conduct his works to publicise them, he was no longer news.
Kraus is known to have written very many symphonies, yet only 14 have so far been identified.

 Joseph Martin Kraus (1756-1792)
Kraus war der gefeierte Hofkapellmeister von König Gustav III.
Musikalisch steht der Einakter an einer zeittypischen Schwelle des Übergangs: in deutlicher Nähe zu den Reformopern Christoph Willibald Glucks, doch streckenweise noch barocken Satztechniken verhaftet, dann wieder geprägt von der Mannheimer Schule und dem Geist des Sturm und Drang, zudem Mozarts Musiksprache nicht unähnlich.
In der Kraus-Forschung gilt "Proserpina" als "Kunstwerk der Zukunft", und kein Geringerer als Gluck erklärte, Kraus gehöre zu den genialsten Komponisten, die er je getroffen habe.

Their works are all featured on Concerto Köln's debut disc for Archiv Produktion, Dream of the Orient, in which this award-winning period instrument orchestra joins with the Turkish ensemble Sarband to open up our ears to the rich fertilization of Western European music by Eastern traditions in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Concerto Köln presents a program juxtaposing overtures, concertos, dances and marches by Mozart, Gluck, Kraus and Süssmayr – all of whom incorporated exotic Turkish elements in their "Western-style" compositions – with lively hymns and instrumental pieces by Zurnazen Ibrahim Aga, Han Gazi Giray and other Turkish composers.
Dream of the Orient is another in the series of musical explorations undertaken by Concerto Köln, but it represents a strikingly unusual music adventure, even for this orchestra which has already earned a sterling international reputation for its "brilliant, passionate" and "endearingly spontaneous" performances (Jury of the German Record Critics' Prize).
