Trait d’union between the declining Italian instrumental tradition and the rising Austro-German one, Alessandro Rolla is a unique figure in the Italian musical panorama astride the 18th and 19th centuries, not only for the active role he played as conductor at Milan’s La Scala and teacher at that city’s conservatory but also for his vast and diversified production. Open to stylistic expressions and forms developed outside Italy, a pioneer performer of Mozart and Beethoven, and a genuine exponent of Neoclassical taste, Rolla has left us a conspicuous amount of works in which quite an original creative and stylistic parabola can be observed. The present CD, featuring some world première recordings, contains very interesting compositions, such as the Symphony in D Major – remarkable for the grace and variety of its melodic inventiveness -, the Symphony in B flat Major – leaner and more formal – and some Concertos: the one for basset horn and orchestra is exquisitely classical in the alternation between lyrical and virtuosic passages; while the one for flute and orchestra requires the soloist to master a series of dexterities set to underline his technical and expressive talents.

Caspar Fürstenau’s output is almost exclusively dedicated to the flute,
and includes, among other works, two Flute Concertos, and a great number
of chamber works where the flute is often found associated with the
guitar. We do not know precisely when and where Caspar joined the
Freemasonry; but the presence in his catalogue of two collections of
Maurer Gesänge leaves no doubts as to his participation in the activities
of the lodges Zu den drei Balcken of Münster and Zur Bundeskette of
Soest. Between the end of the 1700s and the beginning of the 1800s the Freemasonry had many followers among musicians, especially in the countries of German language and in France.

The two collections of Maurer Gesänge by Caspar Fürstenau are structurally identical, each consisting of six songs for solo voice, male choir, flute and guitar. The songs have a very simple strophic structure, with passages for solo voice that are taken up in various ways by the choir.

The flute provides short introductions and contrapuntal accompaniment to the singing, while the guitar contributes with solid or arpeggiato chords. The vocal quality of these pieces, slightly recalling that of Mozart’s Masonic cantatas, is sober and syllabic, with some popular inflections. The texts offer typical 18th-century Masonic themes, with an accent on egalitarian ideals, universal brotherhood, individual virtue, and friendship. Of particular interest are the two pieces from the two collections that share the same title although they are substantially different: Schwestern Lied (Sisters’ song).

Among the numerous collections of pieces for flute and guitar composed by Caspar Fürstenau, the 12 Stücke Op.16 stand out for their pleasant writing and fresh music ideas, always expressed in very classical style.
They are dances (Ecossaises, Walzer, Pas redoublé) and simple pieces where flute and guitar dialogue amiably. It is fine Hausmusik destined for private performances by family members and friends.
