Mandolin?!?! And double bass?!?! How is this piece not in the cannon? I want to hear this live!
Perfect music for a very cold winter morning . . . . .
What the hell is going on? How does that insane quartet actually work? This is a world class masterpiece.
Samen met de sinfonia concertanye van Joseph Haydn vind ik dit een van de mooiste muziekwerken die ooit zijn geschreven!!!!
Eine außergewöhnliche Komposition, unbedingt anhören!!
I return often to this jubilant recording for its perky uplift, musical inventiveness, Bohemian surprises. This introduced me - and more of my friends - to Kozeluch and the wealth of his music. Thanks so much for uploading it for all of us!

Hoe vaker ik dit werk hoor, des te mooier ik het vind!!!!!
A delight with a Mozartian levity the lute adding a twinkle to the harmony.
Notable combinación de instrumentos solistas para hacer este magnífico concierto... laúd, contrabajo, trompeta y piano....¡¡ qué osadía de don Leopoldo Kozeluch !!.....
Fantastisch! Die Harmonie und Gleichberechtigung der Instrumente: Einmalig!
I am now studying his works, as I will become the first Korean to show that Kozeluch was the most magnificent composer of the classical era.

Vuelvo a oír esta obra y vuelve a maravillarme. ENCANTADORA
Good Lord! Even Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for the winds pales in comparison to this magnificent and breathtaking piece by Kozeluch! Magically and uncannily he blends abandon and bravado with delicateness and exquisiteness. The power and beauty of the music can only find their siblings in Maria Callas's mad scenes in Puritani, Norma, Lucia and Anna Bolena, in the halcyon days of the diva.
After an year it is still lovely and after many more years it would still be lovely.
Koželuch He is one of those composers who were born to be eternal, it hurts that it is not popularly spread, surely he does not miss Mozart when he took his place in Vienna, his symphonies are excellent, his sonatas first, with great virtuosity, in Prague they must feel proud to tell in your story with such a high quality artist, greetings from Mexico
So beautiful music! This evening we heard the opera Gustav Wasa from Kozeluch, representing the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra and the soloists. Amazing.
Wunderschön, ein musikalischer Hochgenuß !
Cette musique est positivement exaltante.... Richesse du discours mélodique, harmonies à couper le souffle, orchestration sans cesse renouvelée dans l’utilisation des timbres de l'orchestre - Merci pour cette découverte !

What a strange association of concerting istruments Kozeluch chose here! It is indeed very difficult to have a semless music with such soloists. Kozeluch suceeded in that challenge. the result is very pleasant.
Dit is een echt mooi werk! Ik word altijd weer blij als ik deze muziek beluister. Bedankt!!! De combinatie van de solo-instrumenten vind ik meesterlijk. Ik heb deze CD in dezelfde uitvoering in bezit - en verveelt me nooit!!
Inimaginable un cuarteto de instrumentos más diferentes que estos cuatro. Ensamblarlos, que suenen coherentemente entre ellos y con la orquesta es algo que sólo puede conseguirlo alguien que sabe MUCHO de música. Una verdadera GENIALIDAD
gorgeous kozeluch truly a genious love his divers music so classy
Que Maravilla
Le variazioni sono semplicemente meravigliose, grazie mille per avermele fatte conoscere!
Děkujeme vám KuhlauDilfeng2 (sic) za vaše nádherné množství nahrávek.
What a lovely piece, and such an unknown composer.
Kozeluch clearly was an admirer of the ones Mozart produced and it is no wonder he was the next composer to take the court composer in Prague 1792 after Mozart. He was asked to take Mozart's former position in Salzburg when he led in 1781 but he refused. He's a fascinating though less studied composer which is sad as his music suggests such incredible prowess of Galant composing.

I just got back observing a production of an opera of his in rehearsal before the premier of the thought to be lost work, of his operas "Gustav Vasa". It is incredible music and so engaging and I am so privileged to be able to be a musicology student to fulfill these needs to study music and question things. Which one was it?

Kozeluch was quite famous in his day and somewhat resented by other composers for the same reason they resented Mozart, the seeming ease with which he composed music combined with the quality. Kozeluch was quite prolific. That said, it was Kozeluch who was trying to cozy up to Mozart one evening while listening to a performance of a Haydn quartet. Kozeluch was apparently yammering on about how Haydn could have done X instead of Y, and Y instead of Z, and think of the improvement. Mozart, apparently losing patience, turned to Kozeluch and said something to the effect: "Yes, but if you did that, then you would be no Haydn."
Strepitoso! Bellissimo...
Non conoscevo questa sinfonia... molto bella.
My eyes are red with tears. Because when I listen this music, I feel togetherness.Each part plays its melody vividly but they also play altogether. I can see the composer'swarm heart. Thank you.

Good homing instinct, Jennifer! Our friend Leopold Kozeluh does convey "Togetherness" with this in a most winsome way, with cheerfulness, perky inventiveness, personality. This is one of my favorites, too.

What an amazing fabulous work. It's a feast to listen. Thanks again for uploading!
Technicalities apart, this music shimmers and is truly heartwarming.Thank you.
Amazingly different.
1st movement - Allegro: The legendary warriors of old - the trumpet, mandolin, contra bass, and piano - try one by one to take on the blazing sunset. Though the fight is long and arduous, they perservere through many trials and tribulations. 2nd movement - Andantino: The instruments celebrate with a feast. They get drunk and remember moments they spent with each other through tough times. They are tired and in need sleep. 3rd movement - Finale: The heros finally arrive home to tell everyone of their most epic journey they just had together, and the tales of infamous battles in which each them perservered and showed were able to one by one show their most truest colors. Fin.
Parece que los checos se distinguieron en la música. La interpretación es magnifica.
Nothing like I have herd before- wonderful beyond words !
una grata sorpresa musical para Chile.

Excellent harmony!
ses concertos sont aussi intéressants
héél bijzonder ….. en mooi !
For the most part I have never been all that enthusiastic about the Sinfonia Concertante as a form, finding them pleasant, but often less interesting than either a straight up symphony or concerto. Still, I have to admit that Kozeluch has come up with a winner. Kozeluch grows more and more in my esteem, the more of his work that I hear. I suspect that in sizing the man up, too much weight has been given to such trivial things as the anecdote wherein Mozart rather rudely put Kozeluch down in a bout of Mozartian testiness after Kozeluch made some sort of mild criticism of a piece by Haydn.

After Mozart died from eating undercooked pork, Kozeluich was given Mozart's position at court at twice Mozart's salary.
Lovely !
Beautiful ! Thank you so much :)
Hmmmm. I am amazed that MR Kozeluch could manage to make a composition for this combination. In the first movement to hear a duetto between Contrabass and Mandoline that is working is really amazing. All this instruments are far from each other and balance is difficult. JUST TO TRY TO THIS is very brave. The Mandolin and Piano is coming out very well the solo bass is a little out of tune BUT play with soloistic impressiveness. Whatever bass player you have here that person would come at last. The trumpet has the most delicate balance problems here. Would love to ear this in original balance. A classical trumpet regarding sound would make it easier for that person if it should be performed on original instruments. LOVE THIS COMPOSITION! What makes the highpoint is the Mandoline! :-)

Robert Ronnes Yes, Kozeluch is quite the composer, he was probably about as famous as Salieri and Boccherini, possibly even Mozart. Haydn was by far the most famous composer of the era. Kozeluch just seems to be forgotten, if he got the fame he enjoyed back then, there would probably be Baby Kozeluch videos and references to him in TV shows.

Robert Ronnes Kozeluch clearly thought it could be done. He clearly thought that a triple exposition could hold the interest if it was needed to introduce all the soloists.

Bear in mind this was written for pianoforte. I can easily imagine a lovely duet between it and mandolin, add a harp and you can write a delightful trio. And another completely forgotten idol of the Classical era is Ignaz Pleyel.

Love it.
Image is Bellona Takes Possession of Weapons of Cupid (oil on canvas), by Carlo Cignani (1628-1719). In case you were wondering. Accepting donations. Let me know.
Masterpiece. The myth of Amadeus continues today. In Vienna at that time, the more popular (they earned more; where someone is buried after death - says it all.) were Ditersdorf, Salijeri, Leopold Koželuh, Paul Wranicki, Vanhal, Mihael Hajdn, Jozef Hajdn,..., Joseph Martin Kraus , ...
Probably TAKASHI Ochi on mandolino (it is written akashi on the description). Fabulous work and interpretation!
Very underestimated
Inshah Allah ! God-willing !
A melodious -- but challenging -- concerto for an unusual group of solo instruments. Did other composers (aside from Kozeluch) create similar concertos for trumpet, piano, mandolin and double-bass?

This is actually the only known piece written for such solo quartet, so the answer is: no.
The authorship may have been misattributed. I think this was actually written by his brother PDQ Kozeluch.

Phantastic! But really for Trumpet??? Think Corno da caccia?
Lol why the double bass though? Almost the entire part is in the cello/viola range

late reply- but this was actually written for a predecessor of the bass (violone in D), which was tuned like a viola da gamba, making the high chords make more sense. Also, bass concerti often are in that register, as the lower register of the bass can struggle to speak through an orchestra! as to why, bass is just better than cello or viola :))
No no plays this on the radio why not ?

A good variety of classical music is played on CBC radio 2, which also has NO commercials. You can download a free ap from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Google it. I based my CD and previous LP collection on music heard on that channel.

The Classical music station around here mostly plays 19th-century composers with the occasional Haydn, Mozart, Bach, Handel, or Vivaldi (the only composers of the 18th century known to many modern listeners). I for one would love to have a Renaissance/Baroque/early classical station that could shed light on forgotten masters such as Kozeluch. Even if people only listen to radio in their car (what with KZread, iTunes, etc. being more convenient), it would help shed light on them, as people mostly go for what's familiar to them when they search for music.

I hear a lot of the playful rebelliousness of Mozart. I can imagine Kozeluch challenging a reviewer of that day by exclaiming, "Why shouldn't I combine such an unlikely ensemble of solo instruments?" It almost sounds as if it was assembled from a late night gathering at a boisterous pub with beer flowing generously!?
What a funny instrumentation. Had to be commissioned. Never heard a duett with double bass and mandoline before. Makes absolute no sense.

+Edward Howard Hahaha. I was wondering if Kozeluch had to write this piece for some family party or something. Like his mom was like "Hey Leopold, your cousins are going to be there, and they play trumpet, klavier, mandolin, and bass. Why don't you write something for them, huh?" And he was like "Oh ma, that's so weird." but he did it anyway.

+zBeest Good to hear from you. A long long time ago I did read something about the first performance. It was a gala concert and included among the players was Anton Weidinger for whom Haydn wrote his his trumpet concerto (the article named the other players but I can't remember who they were). I think it's rather a good piece but it won't get too many live performances with its instrumentation. It would go down a storm for the last night of the proms!
