Vogler à la chambre de Marie-Antoinette & Ino, eine Kantate (CD)

Release date: 24 March 2023

This album showcases music by the Mannheim composer, Georg Joseph Vogler: forgotten music written during the years 1779–82. It features the highly dramatic cantata Into for the neighbouring Darmstadt court, and a variety of pieces composed for Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, during Vogler’s trip to Paris in 1781–82. Fortepianist and ensemble leader Anders Muskens leads Das Neue Mannheimer Otchester with soprano Elisabeth Hetherington on this new release of never-before-recorded works.
