Graupner: Christmas Cantatas
Christoph Graupner had spent five years as an opera composer in Hamburg before the Landgrave Ernst-Ludwig called upon him to take up the position of Hofkapellmeister in Darmstadt in 1709.
He became the best-paid music director of his time and would continue to define the musical style of the court until his death in 1760.
His relative isolation there apparently enabled and allowed him to develop a personal style that does not exactly conform to the norms that had been set during the past centuries through the reception of Bach’s monumental oeuvre; the slow rediscovery of Graupner’s music has also meant that he was not included in the musical picture we now have of that era.
This album presents a varied sample of Graupner's musical activities during his almost fifty years in service in Darmstadt - we hope that it will spark the listeners’ curiosity to discover more of this extraordinary composer.
