Gunar Letzbor and his ensemble Ars Antiqua Austria have been working with violin music from the Habsburg Empire for decades, and Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber's violin sonatas from 1681 were, as Letzbor himself says, "a milestone in his artistic development". The first recording was made in 1994 and since then Ars Antiqua Austria has regularly performed this repertoire in concerts. While Biber was still largely unknown at that time, the composer and his work are now considered by audiences to be among the greats of the Baroque era. Biber was highly acclaimed by his contemporaries as a violin virtuoso and as a composer.

«Liveliness of ingenuity and musical virtues». Even in the absence of the baptismal certificate, the birth date of Michel’Angelo Grancini (also known as “Grancino” or “Granzini”), is deduced as 1605, on the basis of two sources: his death certificate and a particular statement contained in the work Ateneo dei Letterati Milanesi (Milan, 1670) by Abbot Filippo Picinelli (1604-1667). From the first document, dated 1669, it is clear that, at the time of his death, Grancini was seventy years old; from the second it is evident that “at the age of 17, being organist in the Church of S. Maria del Paradiso, he began to publish works”.

Genre: Classical

Robert Schumann called Mendelssohn the Mozart of the 19th century given his mastery of both the keyboard and composition at such an early age. On "Wunderkind Felix" conductor Patrick van der Linden and Ars Musica pay tribute to the precocious work of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy with this album of pieces the young master wrote between the ages of 14 and 19. Ars Musica presents a reorchestration of the 1st Symphony for chamber orchestra which explores the flexible orchestral settings of Mendelssohn's youthful compositions. This is paired with the equally youthful String Symphony No.10 and his Kyrie, which is performed by the Ars Musica Chorus and Orchestra. Soprano Nanette Mans and the Ars Musica Chorus join the orchestra to perform the Cantata 'Wer nur den lieben Gott lasst walten' and his setting of Ave maris stella, both written in 1828 when he was a mere 19 years old.

Ars Pro Vita - Peace (2020) Music

Posted by gribovar at Jan. 16, 2022

"Peace" is a double-CD conceptual album. Twenty-three tracks, two hours and twenty-seven minutes. Two years of intense research on the endless theme of "war and peace" revisiting a series of historical events, from 1890 to the present day. These events were reenacted trying to find a kind of justice for those involved. Stories of courage and the good that exist in man bring some hope and point to a future. At best, this future is uncertain, unknown. But what is certain is that man is capable of fulfilling beautiful dreams and terrible nightmares.
Ars Pro Vita is two brothers from Porto Alegre, Brazil. The two has been exposed to many styles of music. The ideas behind their music reflect their views on life, human nature at its idiosyncrasies…

St. Florianer Sängerknaben, Ars Antiqua Austria, Gunar Letzbor - Muffat: Missa in labore requies (2014) Music

Genre: Classical | Label: Pan Classics

Gunar Letzbor and his ensemble Ars Antiqua Austria are proven specialists for Austrian baroque music. During recent years, they have rediscovered, performed and recorded polychoral Festive Masses by Weichlein, Ramhaufsky and Hochreither and thus Georg Muffat's magnificent 'Missa in labore requies' is a logical choice of repertoire. This work is the only surviving church music by Georg Muffat and is overwhelming in sonic impact and profundity but also a richness of melodic invention. In its polychoral design, the work is in the tradition of Salzburg Festive Masses, reflecting in their extraordinary musical opulence, the almost boundless material wealth of the prince bishops who commissioned them.
