RELEASEKONCERT: KOSMOPOLITTEN MUFFATS HARMONISKE HYLDEST TIL EUROPA

Georg Muffat voksede op i grænseområdet Alsace i en tid præget af konflikter og krig i Europa. På trods af stridighederne forblev Muffat kosmopolit og fredselsker – i forordet til en af sine udgivelser skriver han: ”Når jeg blander franske toner med italienske og tyske, er det ikke for at anspore til krig og konflikt, men snarere som et forspil til harmoni og fred landene imellem”.

Som ingen andre på sin tid formåede Muffat at forbinde sin tyske identitet, sin franske uddannelse og inspirationen fra det italienske i en forenet musikalsk stil, der gjorde ham til en særegen og enestående komponist.

Concerto Copenhagen og Lars Ulrik Mortensen altid haft et helt særligt forhold til Muffats musik, og i august 2020 indspillede de Muffats hovedværk "Armonico Tributo" – Harmonisk Hyldest. Denne koncert markerer udgivelsen af albummet.

RELEASE CONCERT: COSMOPOLITAN MUFFAT'S HARMONIOUS TRIBUTE TO EUROPE

The composer Georg Muffat grew up in the border region of Alsace in the 1650s, at a time of conflict and war in Europe. Despite the disputes, Muffat remained a cosmopolitan and peace lover - in the preface to one of his publications he writes: "When I mix French tones with Italian and German, it is not to incite war and conflict, but rather as a prelude to harmony and peace between countries".

Like no other composer of his time, Muffat managed to combine his German identity, his French education and the inspiration of Italian music in a unified musical style that made him a singular and unique composer.

Concerto Copenhagen and Lars Ulrik Mortensen have always had a special relationship with Muffat's music, and in August 2020 they recorded Muffat's magnum opus Armonico Tributo - Harmonic Tribute. This concert marks the release of the album.
