- Adagio

If you need a beautiful slow interlude for any concert then this is the piece for you. This short work by Italian composer Thomaso Albinoni has a luscious melody that will bring tears to any eyes. For hundreds of years the manuscript of this work had been lost and was only discovered in 1945. Despite this it has become Albinoni’s best known work and has topped the classical charts on many occasions. Wonderful figures for the flugel and soprano cornet bring out extra emotion in this arrangement by Jacob de Haan.

Das Adagio, so wie es heute weithin bekannt ist, hat eine interessante Geschichte: Es wurde erst im 20. Jahrhundert von einem Musikwissenschaftler aus einem Manuskript Albinonis, welches lediglich Teile einer Melodie enthielt, rekonstruiert. Dennoch ist es gerade das Adagio, das Albinoni in der heutigen Musikwelt berühmt gemacht hat und dessen Wirkung sich auch in diesem gefühlvollen Arrangement von Jacob de Haan niemand entziehen kann.

Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) est né Venise. Il est le fils aîné d’un riche marchand. Dès son plus jeune ge, il développe un réel talent pour le chant et surtout pour le violon, et se met rapidement composer. Albinoni a vécu et travaillé toute sa vie durant Venise, mais a également séjourné Florence et Munich.Dans sa jeunesse, Albinoni compose de la musique sacrée mais sans grand succès. En 1694, il attire l’attention du public vénitien lors de la représentation de son premier opéra Zenobia, Regina de Palmireni (Zenobia, reine de Palmireni). Ses premières œuvres de musique instrumentale datent de la même année. Par la suite, Albinoni se consacre surtout lacomposition d’œuvres vocales (opéras et cantates) et instrumentales (sonates et concertos).C’est en travaillant sur la biographie d’Albinoni, au sortir de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, que le musicologue milanais, Remo Giazotto, découvre la Bibliothèque Nationale de Dresde, un manuscrit inédit, sur lequel est basé le célèbre Adagio. Il semblerait que les six mesures de la mélodie et la ligne de basse retrouvées aient constitué un passage d’un mouvement lent d’une sonate trois. Vers 1945, en partant de ces éléments, Remo Giazotto reconstitue une œuvre, célèbre de nos jours, comme l’Adagio d’Albinoni, alors qu’Albinoni lui-même ne serait probablement plus en mesure de reconnaître sa pièce

“Ital ian Baroque composer, Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) is best remembered as the most accomplished musician among Jesuit missionaries. All his works were greatly influenced by his religion and his Adagio for Oboe, Cello, Organ or Harpsichord and String Orchestra is an exciting addition to the repertoire. Having received lessons from some of the best composers of his day, including Alessandro Scarlatti, Zipoli embarked upon a successful career as an organist and composer. Scored for Oboe, Cello, Organ and Strings, Adagio is a calm, yet stately piece, often played today at weddings and funerals. Zipoli's Adagio makes for a sublime performance work for Baroque ensembles.”.

Bridge's early works - those written before the first World War - were more late Romantic in style, warmly expansive, than his mature works. The Adagio is a four-Voice fugue of poetic expressiveness that makes full use of the instrument's tonal resources.British composer Frank Bridge was active in the early decades of the 20th century and was a highly respected conductor, violist and teacher - his sole composition student having been Benjamin Britten. Britten honoured his former teacher in his work Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, based on a theme from one of Bridge's pieces for String quartet.
