The right tone

I'm not always thrilled by the enthusiasm with Mitzi Meyerson has shown in his performances which can sometimes blur the asperities and tired over time, especially if the sound recording is too reverberated like its full of Componimenti Musicali of Gottlieb Muffat.

Here she really found the right tone for this collection of Parnassus Musical Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer, very late publication (he was 80 years old!) Of a major composer of the late seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century whose many works have been lost, it plays without stiffness with a fast tempo well come a necessary and relevant fantasy and mastered fluidity, all with a fairly good sound better defined than usual.

These works are full of fantasies but especially of an apparent simplicity that comes from maturity in the art of composition and synthesis of multiple styles french, Italian and German (the fugal passages are fantastic!) Employees. We understand why he was one of the few contemporaries admired for his Bach keyboard music (with Francois Couperin Scarlatti even later on), BACH has been rather fascinated by the great masters of the past.

I did not know that Mitzi Meyerson had collected a tuning fork gold (thank you to mention the previous comment) to this interpretation, but it is well deserved in my opinion for what is one of his best albums with its full suite Georg Böhm and which constitutes the reference discography this musical Parnassus before Luc Beauséjour integral (two discs by Naxos), which is sorely lacking in imagination and fluency.
