Mozart for Sleep

https://www.francemusique.fr/emissions/musicopolis/mozart-vienne-en-1791-1-5-12220

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart est l’un des compositeurs les plus importants de l’histoire de la musique occidentale, et la figure majeure de la période du classicisme. Il fait partie avec Haydn et Beethoven de la « triade classique viennoise », incarnant l’un des trois maîtres dont l’influence a été la plus considérable sur les générations suivantes de compositeurs. Virtuose du clavecin et du violon, il connaît un succès précoce et une carrière fulgurante, en portant toutes les formes musicales existantes à un état d’accomplissement inégalé.
Le père de Mozart, musicien au service du prince-archevêque de Salzbourg, occupe une place prépondérante dans la réussite de son fils. Il lui enseigne la musique et organise son premier concert en public alors que Mozart est seulement dans sa sixième année. L’enfant prodige se produit par la suite dans de nombreuses villes d’Europe, à Vienne devant l’impératrice Marie-Thérèse, à Versailles devant la famille royale et la cour, à Londres devant le roi Georges III.

Mozart se retrouve très vite sollicité par la noblesse qui ne tarit plus d’éloges à son sujet ; il compose ses premières grandes œuvres, opéra bouffe, messe, quatuor, concerto, symphonie, en tout plus de six cents pièces en trente-cinq ans. Son succès lui permet de dépasser peu à peu les normes formelles de son temps et de s’affranchir des contraintes sociales pesant sur le statut du compositeur : malgré de nombreuses dettes, il trouve une certaine indépendance à Vienne où il s’établit à partir de 1781. Neuf ans plus tard, il meurt prématurément en raison de fréquentes maladies et l’épuisement du à un rythme de travail effréné.

Le génie de Mozart tient à l’originalité décisive qu’il fait naître de sa maîtrise parfaite des genres : il réussit à la perfection à allier lyrisme de la mélodie italienne et technicité du contrepoint allemand en un style à l’expressivité unique. Son œuvre contient en germe l’ampleur et l’effusion passionnée qui caractériseront la période romantique.

The Marriage of Figaro, is a comic opera in four acts composed by Mozart in 1786 featuring an Italian libretto written by Lorenzo Da Ponte. It premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna on 1 May 1786. The opera's libretto is based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro.

The Laudate Dominum, one of Mozart’s most beloved sacred arias, is the fifth movement of his Vesperae solennes de confessore (1780). Written in Salzburg for liturgical use, the piece is admired for its serene lyricism and luminous interplay between soloist, choir, and orchestra.

This performance, recorded during the 2006 Advent season, showcases the chamber ensemble’s dedication to bringing timeless sacred repertoire to a broad audience. Preserved by Pandora Records, it continues the tradition of making important live performances freely accessible.

Ave Verum Corpus, K. 618 composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Arrangement by Emanuel Johnsson.

I wanted to record this peaceful piece, I think it tells an important message. Mozart has so many beautiful melodies.

I made this a little less loud, since classical music usually is little less loud.

Hi, I'm Jean-Charles.
I'm a music lover, but you probably guessed that if you're here.
I am proud to be a "Ch'ti". For those who don't know, it means I come from Northern France, a land known for its values of human warmth, simplicity, and friendliness. That said, I was "adopted" by the Jura region. It was there, through the Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors, that I discovered classical music from a fascinating angle that deeply left its mark on me.
I love the diversity of music and cultures. I have a special affection for the recorder, opera, piano, zither, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, pan flute, and harmonica.
My goal here, through my reposts, is to offer you a journey through time and space.
In this regard, I want to express my immense respect for Pandora Records. Founded by Al Goldstein, this visionary label chose, after ceasing operations, to release its entire back catalog under an open license. A large part of the tracks I share here comes from this invaluable archive. Thanks to their generosity, we can rediscover these historical interpretations (often on period instruments) that might otherwise have been forgotten.
Thank you all for the talent you share here.
Wishing you great listening and happy discoveries!
