Zu Antonio Salieris Schülern gehörten Beethoven, Schubert und Liszt. Er wurde als Wiener Hofkapellmeister bewundert. Und überhaupt galt Salieri zu seiner Zeit als einer der beliebtesten Opernkomponisten Europas. Doch nicht zuletzt dank des Kino-Hits »Amadeus« von Milos Forman verbindet mit man seinem Namen die abenteuerliche Geschichte, er hätte Mozart vergiftet. Dabei schätzten sich Mozart und Salieri. Zudem war Mozart gar von Salieris Oper »La Fiera di Venezia« derart begeistert, dass er 1773 Klaviervariationen über ein Duett aus dem II. Akt komponierte. Dieses Duett »Mio caro Adone« bildet nun auch einen der vielen Höhepunkte in der Weltersteinspielung von Salieris komischer Oper »La Fiera di Venezia«.

Antonín Reicha’s music continues to inhabit the fringes of the active repertoire of everyone except perhaps wind quintets, which is a pity. Certainly Reicha was one of the most interesting and inventive composers of his era, and one of the few lesser-known personalities of the Classical Period aside from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Rossini whose music deserves to be revived and enjoyed. In 1826 he composed this enormous Piano Quintet, and there’s not a second of ‘dead’ music in any of its nearly 43 minutes. The sheer forward energy of the opening movement is truly extraordinary, with countless surprising turns of phrase, while the succeeding Lento poco andante offers some gorgeous experiments in texture (for starters, check out the central cello solo backed by pizzicato strings and graceful piano figurations).
