Beethoven: Complete Symphonies (1770-1827)

Throughout his lifetime, Beethoven wrote nine symphonies, nine concertos, and a variety of other orchestral music, ranging from overtures and incidental music for theatrical productions to other miscellaneous "occasional" works, written for a particular occasion. The final symphony, the ninth symphony, is not included in this pack but has been provided with a separate link. It is interesting to note that Beethoven wrote the 8th Symphony while losing his hearing and wrote the 9th Symphony when he was completely deaf !

Beethoven: Immortal Beloved (Soundtrack)

The film — a biopic — treats the identity of the "Immortal Beloved" (Unsterbliche Geliebte) of composer Ludwig Van Beethoven as a mystery to be solved by his secretary and first biographer, Anton Schindler. The search for a solution leads to a journey of discovery which takes Schindler to all corners of the Austrian Empire to interview the women who might have some claim to candidacy.
The core of fact upon which the film's speculations are built is as follows:
After Beethoven's death in 1827, three short letters were found among his private papers addressed to a woman whom he calls "immortal beloved". The letters still exist, but there is no consensus among Beethoven scholars as to the identity of the intended recipient. The letters— probably written in the summer of 1812 from the spa town of Teplice — are certainly in Beethoven's handwriting.
Among the most plausible candidates put forward to date are Giulietta Guicciardi, Thérèse von Brunswick, Antonie Brentano, Johanna van Beethoven, Countess Anna-Marie Erdödy, all but one of whom feature in the film.
The film's writer and director, Bernard Rose, has controversially claimed that he himself has successfully identified the woman whom Beethoven loved, a task that has eluded researchers for nearly two hundred years. No scholar or writer on Beethoven has so far endorsed Rose's claim. One, Gail S. Altman, has vociferously disputed it in a book devoted specifically to the question of the woman's identity and Beethoven's relationships in general.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (16th December 1770 – 26th March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. He was a crucial figure in the transitional period between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most acclaimed and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then in the Electorate of Cologne in western Germany, he moved to Vienna in his early twenties and settled there, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. Beethoven's hearing gradually deteriorated beginning in his twenties, yet he continued to compose, and to conduct and perform, even after he was completely deaf.

Mozart: Missa in C, K.317, Coronation Mass & Requiem, K.626

The Krönungsmesse "Coronation Mass" (Mass No. 15 in C major, KV 317; sometimes Mass No. 16), composed in 1779, is one of the most popular of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 17 extant settings of the Ordinary of the Mass. This setting, like the majority of Mozart's mass settings, is a Missa brevis, or short mass (as opposed to the more formal Solemn Masses or High Masses, known as Missae Solemnes). Fitting with its nickname, it includes fanfares, pageantry and the use of trumpets and trombones.
This Mass was completed on March 23 1779 in Salzburg. It may have been intended to be used for the crowning of an image of the Virgin in the Church of Maria-Plain situated outside the walls of the city (hence the nickname). Mozart had just returned to Salzburg, after 18 months of fruitless job hunting in Paris and Mannheim, in January 1779. His father Leopold promptly got him a job as court organist and composer in the Salzburg Cathedral, and the organ features prominently in this work. It was almost certainly premiered on Easter Sunday April 4, 1779 in the Salzburg Cathedral. Subsequently, it was used for the Prague coronation of Emperor Leopold II of Austria in August 1791 (still justifying the nickname), with the composer in attendance. Two years later, it was performed at the coronation of Leopold's successor, Francis II.
The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in 1791. The requiem was Mozart's last composition, and is one of his most popular and most respected works. There has been a debate over how much of the music Mozart managed to complete before his death, and how much was later composed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr, or possibly others.

Mozart: Mass in C Minor, K. 427, Great Mass

The Große Messe (German, lit. Great Mass) No. 17 in C minor K. 427 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the best-known and most widely performed of Mozart's mass settings, and is considered one of the composer's major works. It is often referred to as the "C Minor Mass".
The work was composed in 1782-1783. It embodies all of the pomp and solemnity associated with the Salzburg traditions of the time, but it also anticipates the symphonic masses of Haydn in its solo-choral sharing. The mass shows the influence of Bach and Handel, whose music Mozart was studying at this time.
The Mass was written as a result of a vow Mozart made with himself in relation to his wife Constanze and his father Leopold and their strained relationship. The Mass was first performed in the Church of St. Peter's Abbey in Salzburg on 26th October 1783. The premiere took place in its natural context of a Roman Catholic mass, and the performers were members of the "Hofmusik", that is the musicians employed at the court of Salzburg's ruler, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo. The soprano solos at the première were sung by Mozart's wife Constance. There was a rehearsal in the nearby Kapellhaus on 23 October.
The work is incomplete, missing all of the Credo following the aria "Et incarnatus est" (the orchestration of the Credo is also incomplete) and all of the Agnus Dei. The Sanctus is partially lost and requires editorial reconstruction. There is a good deal of speculation concerning why the work was left unfinished. Given the absolute necessity of a complete text for liturgical use, it is likely that Mozart spliced in movements from his earlier Masses for the premiere.
Mozart later reused the music from the Kyrie and Gloria, almost without changes except for the text, in the cantata "Davidde Penitente" K. 469.

Mozart: Salzburg Symphonies

After finally returning with his father from Italy on 13 March 1773, Mozart was employed as a court musician by the ruler of Salzburg Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo. The composer was a favorite son in Salzburg, where he had a great number of friends and admirers, and he had the opportunity to work in many genres, including symphonies, sonatas, string quartets, serenades, and a few minor operas. Several of these early works are performed today. Between April and December of 1775, Mozart developed an enthusiasm for violin concertos, producing a series of five (the only ones he ever wrote), steadily increasing in their musical sophistication. The last three—(K. 216, K. 218, K. 219)—are now staples of the repertoire. In 1776 he turned his efforts to piano concertos, culminating in the E-flat concerto K. 271 of early 1777, considered by critics to be a breakthrough work.
Despite these artistic successes, Mozart grew increasingly discontent with Salzburg and redoubled his efforts to find a position elsewhere. One reason appears to be his low salary, 150 florins per year; but also, Mozart longed to compose operas, and Salzburg provided only rare occasions for these. The situation worsened in 1775 when the court theater was closed, especially since the other theater in Salzburg was largely reserved for visiting troupes.
Two long expeditions in search of work, for both Leopold and Wolfgang, interrupted this long Salzburg stay: they visited Vienna from 14 July to 26 September 1773, and Munich from 6 December 1774 to March 1775. Neither visit was successful, though the Munich journey resulted in a popular success with the premiere of the opera La finta giardiniera.

Mozart: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, et al

The Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, K. 525, more commonly known as Eine kleine Nachtmusik ("a small serenade" — rendered more literally but less accurately as "a little night music"), is one of the most popular compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart wrote it in 1787 in Vienna while working on Don Giovanni. It is not known why or for whom he wrote this piece.
The work was written for a chamber ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass. It is often performed with more than one person to a part.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over six hundred works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music; and he is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.
Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at seventeen he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. Visiting Vienna in 1781 he was dismissed from his Salzburg position and chose to stay in the capital, where over the rest of life he achieved fame but little financial security. The final years in Vienna yielded many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and the Requiem. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons.
Mozart always learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate—the whole informed by a vision of humanity "redeemed through art, forgiven, and reconciled with nature and the absolute". His influence on all subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".
