Editorial Review:
Heinichen's Dresden Concertos created quite a stir when they were first released a couple of years ago, and for good reason. This is vital, colorful music scored for a large and varied ensemble. Like most composers of his day, Heinichen spent the majority of his compositional talent in the service of vocal music, for either the opera house or church. These pieces represent his only surviving set of concertos, and anyone who enjoys, for example, Bach's Brandenburg Concertos or the orchestral works of Zelenka will certainly want to hear these as well. These performances are simply the last word in style and virtuosity. --David Hurwitz

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Between Bach and Mozart.
Clearly Dresden was the center for musical thought. Perhaps this was JS Bach's motivation for writing protions of his B-minor Mass for the Duke of Saxony.Heinichen's concerti fall between the baroque discipline of Bach and the movement towards the Classical in Mozart. These works are true eye openers. The moreso as I am a devotee of Bach and of early Mozart. Surely they give testimony to his selection as the leading musician of the Sazon Court.

Rating: - Great music well played.
I hadn't heard of Heinichen until I got a bonus CD (celebrating 25 years of Music Auntiquita Koln) with something. The first track, which really hooked me, was the first concerto on this set, and so I bought it.
Two discs of concertos by somebody is a lot of their music, but I find myself playing both of these through at a single sitting quite often - there is something about the way that Heinichen keeps the musical ideas flowing that I find very ... Read More
Rating: - Sounds as fresh as ever.
It's a few years since this set won the Gramophone Award, but hearing it again very recently, it still provides a thrilling listening experience.
I'm not normally a lover of prominent brass instruments in early music where the sonorities are often too lean and bright for my taste. Well, there's plenty of brightness here, but it all comes from the sparkle and energy of an orchestra at the very top of its form.
I wouldn't say this is a set to listen to at one sitting. Better to pick and ... Read More
