FASCH, Johann Friedrich - Composers

   Found CDs: 4
 

Composer: FASCH, Johann Friedrich ((1688-1758))
His/her music:
One of his 18 solo concertos, Concerto in D minor is preserved in the Dresden Sachsiche Landesbibliothek Mus. Ms. 2423 / v. 1: Allegro moderato; Andante; Un poco allegro. It is written for two violins (1st and 2nd) viola, lute (not in tablature but in two stave notation), and harpsichord.

His/her life:
Father of Carl Friedrich Christian.
German composer and Kapellmeister was at the court of Weissenfels in 1700. Later he studied with Kuhnau at the Thomasschule in Leipzig. Fasch visited Zeitz and Darmstadt. He became violinist in Bayreuth (1714), organist in Greiz, Kapellmeister in Zerbst (1722), and he stayed in close contact with the courts in Dresden and Cöthen. He composed church cantatas, festival music, cantatas, symfonies, ouvertures, sonatas and concertos, and he was held in high esteem by his contemporaries.
At least in Weissenfels he must have met the world of the lute through lutenists like the father Johann Anton Dürr and his four sons who came to Weissenfels in 1700. In Leipzig (1701-1707) he probably met early Leipzig lutenists like Schuchardt, Johann Gottfried Meley and David Hoyer, and later many other prominent musicians who may have inspired him to write his concerto including the lute.

Based in Tokyo, the ensemble "La Fontaine" was founded in l996. Six months after its first concert in October 1996, the ensemble was a prizewinner at the Yamanashi/Tokyo Early Music Competition. In 1998 they participated in the York Early Music Festival in Britain. Two years later, they performed at the International Early Music competition in Bruges, where their performance won the second prize, the audience prize, and an invitation by Philip Pickett to participate in the 2001 Early Music Festival at London's South Bank Centre.

They perform regularly in major cities throughout Japan, including the prestigeous Casals Hall in Tokyo. They have been broadcast several times on Japanese Radio (NHK-FM). This is their second CD.


The CD booklet contains an article (in English, French and German) by Stephen Pettit on the lives of the composers, and also on the social and economic circumstances in which the pieces were written, and for whom. There are more details on the instruments and the players.

Johann Friedrich Fasch - Sonatas for Oboe

Johann Friedrich Fasch - Sonatas for Oboe
ID: CP030
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Baroque
Subcollection: Oboe

Johann Friedrich Fasch is primarily known to modern audiences through a few trumpet pieces that have served for weddings and other assertions of respectability like public television programs. But, as with his somewhat older contemporary Telemann, he left a great deal of music, and it may be that he has been underestimated simply because performers haven't known where to begin with it. This 1987 disc of oboe and bassoon music from the former East Germany, with performers working from manuscripts held in the Saxon State Library in Dresden (Fasch's longtime residence), reveals a composer whose music blended old and new. The overall mood is a bit less free and easy than with Telemann, and there's a facility of contrapuntal writing, erupting at times into full-fledged fugues, which can make you think you're listening to Bach. But Fasch's emphasis on melody points to the influence of Vivaldi, and some of the music even suggests Fasch as a forerunner of the Classical style. Sample the Sonata in F major for two oboes and two bassoons, without continuo (tracks 18-21) -- it's delightful from start to finish. Fasch's part-writing, with the two bassoons gracefully filling the dual role of harmonic support and full member of the texture, is the height of elegance. And the slightly dancelike, pastoral mood of the work tells us that the divertimenti and Feldparthien of the mid century were not far away; indeed it wouldn't be a surprise if music like this turned out to have been known by the young Haydn. The performances are technically confident and perfectly attuned to Fasch's slightly sober idiom, but those new to historical instruments should note that the Baroque oboe, even more so than other early instruments, takes some getting used to. The situation is not helped by the Communist-era sound, which puts the emphasis on all the wrong places (including the group breathtaking at the beginning of each movement), but this is nevertheless a worthwhile disc for Baroque collections.
