Caldara

Der Venezianer Antonio Caldara wurde unter Kaiser Karl VI. zum Ersten Vizekapellmeister der Wiener Hofmusikkapelle ernannt und schrieb hier vor allem Vokalmusik. Er war bereits neun Jahre in Wien tätig, als er 1725 die Oper Il Venceslao komponierte. Mit seiner sowohl vom venezianischen wie auch vom Wiener Stil beeinflussten Kompositionsweise widmet er sich hier dem polnischen Herrscher Wenzel. Dessen zwei Söhne verlieben sich unglücklich in dieselbe Frau. Ihre Rivalität fechten die Brüder in vokal schier aberwitzigen Arien aus, wobei ihnen das polnische {oh!} Orkiestra Historyczna unter der Leitung von Martyna Pastuszka sekundiert.

Deutsch

Venetian Antonio Caldara was made first deputy kapellmeister of the court music ensemble at Vienna under Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, where he primarily wrote vocal music. He had already been in Vienna for nine years when he wrote the opera Il Venceslao in 1725. With a compositional style influenced by both the Venetian and Viennese styles, he makes the Polish ruler Wenceslaus the central figure in the work. The duke’s two sons fall unhappily in love with the same woman. The brothers fight out their rivalry in arias requiring vocal gymnastics verging on the preposterous and have the Polish Orkiestra Historyczna under the baton of Martyna Pastuszka as their seconds.
