Description:
Johann Melchior Molter's Concerto (MWV IV, 12), newly arranged by Colette Mourey, combines baroque liveliness with a subtle contemporary sensibility in a fascinating way. Molter, a German composer of the 18th century, is characterized by his radiant, rhythmically lively music, in which elegance and virtuosity merge. Mourey's arrangement emphasizes these qualities while bringing new clarity to the work, revealing harmonic details that are otherwise easily overlooked. The piece is characterized by a continuous thematic dialogue, flowing melodic lines and a lively rhythmic momentum that is immediately captivating. Each section breathes and displays Molter's rich musical invention. The transcription respects the original spirit but offers a fresh tonal perspective, balancing subtlety with energy. This concert is a testament to the timeless vitality of Baroque music and its ability to be reinterpreted across the centuries. Radiant, expressive and captivating - a piece that impresses with its elegance and clarity.
