About the album

Marten Root studied the flute with Frans Vester and subsequently traverso with Barthold Kuijken at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He later developed a special interest in 19th-century flutes and made studies into the use of these instruments and their repertoire, partly for the ensembles he is now a member of: the Schönbrunn Ensemble and the Biedermeier Kwintet. He is first flautist in the Ensemble Anima Eterna under Jos van Immerseel, the Baroque Orchestra of the Netherlands Bach Society and the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique conducted by John Eliot Gardiner. In recent years he has regularly played in concerts and recordings with, for instance, Tafelmusik (Toronto) and the Hannover Band (London). Marten Root teaches at the Utrecht Conservatory, the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam and the Hochschule in Bremen.

Johannes Leertouwer studied at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam and was a laureate at the Oscar Backcompetition in 1983. It was this prize that enabled him to continue his studies with Josef Suk in Vienna and Prague. He played in the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and was for some time a member of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra under Ton Koopman. Nowadays he applies himself mainly to chamber music, often on historical instruments. Johannes Leertouwer teaches the violin at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam, he is a member of the Ensemble Il Seminario, founder of the Baroque orchestra La Borea, leader of Anima Eterna and of the Baroque Orchestra of the Netherlands Bach Society.

Viola de Hoog studied the cello with Anner Bijlsma and Lidewij Scheifes at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam and has specialised in chamber music, on the modern cello as well as on its baroque predecessor. She is the cellist of the renowned Schönberg Quartet, she is a member of the ASKO Ensemble and the Schönbrunn Ensemble and she is first cellist of Anima Eterna. She reached the finals in the international Baroque cello competition in Paris in 1986. Viola de Hoog is a baroque cello teacher at the Utrecht Conservatory.

Galante muziek van Haydn door een hoogstaand ensemble
Het Ensemble Schönbrunn bestaat al meer dan 25 jaar met Marten Root als artistiek leider. Het ensemble speelt onbekende werken van de tijdgenoten van Mozart en Beethoven maar ook bekende werken op een nieuwe manier. De samenstelling van het ensemble varieert en voor dit album bestaat die uit fluitist Marten Root, violist Johannes Leertouwer en celliste Viola de Hoog.

Marten Root studeerde fluit aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. Later ontwikkelde hij een speciale interesse voor 19e eeuwse fluiten en deed studies naar het gebruik van deze instrumenten en hun repertoire, deels voor de ensembles waar hij lid van is, het Schönbrunn Ensemble en het Biedermeier Kwintet.

Johannes Leertouwer studeerde aan het Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam. Hij speelde in het Koninklijk Concertgebouw Orkest en was voor enige tijd lid van het Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra onder leiding van Ton Koopman. Tegenwoordig legt hij zich vooral toe op kamermuziek, vaak gespeeld op historische instrumenten.

Viola de Hoog studeerde cello aan het Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam en is gespecialiseerd in kamermuziek, zowel op de moderne cello als op zijn barok voorganger. Ze is celliste van het beroemde Schönberg Quartet, ze is lid van het ASKO Ensemble en het Schönbrunn Ensemble en is eerste celliste van Anima Eterna.

Het Schönbrunn Ensemble brengt met dit album de acht divertimento’s van Haydn ten gehore, die ieder vier delen bevatten: Allegro, Menuet, Andante en Allegro. De Allegro delen hebben meestal de vorm van een sonate en zijn kenmerkend galant. Een prachtig album met schitterende muziek door een hoogstaand ensemble.

Composer(s)

Joseph Haydn

(Franz) Joseph Haydn was a prolific Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the piano trio and his contributions to musical form have earned him the epithets 'Father of the Symphony' and 'Father of the String Quartet'.   Haydn spent much of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Esterházy family at their remote estate. Until the later part of his life, this isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, 'forced to become original'. Yet his music circulated widely and for much of his career he was the most celebrated composer in Europe.   He was a friend and mentor of Mozart,...

He was a friend and mentor of Mozart, a teacher of Beethoven, with whom he formed the First Viennese School. He was also the older brother of composer Michael Haydn.
