Kozeluch / Vylicilova / Prague Symphony Orch - Cantata for the Coronation of Leopold II - COMPACT DISCS

Kozeluch / Vylicilova / Prague Symphony Orch - Cantata for the Coronation of Leopold II - COMPACT DISCS This album is the second release in the Naxos Czech Music Masters from Vienna series, and features the world premiere recording of Kozeluch's magnificent coronation cantata. The coronation of Leopold II in Prague in 1791 came at a difficult time for European monarchs, although Leopold himself enjoyed a reputation as an enlightened ruler. Two musical works were commissioned for the occasion: Mozart's opera 'La clemenza di Tito' and Kozeluch's cantata 'Heil dem Monarchen.' The cantata, by turns celebratory, serene and darkly dramatic, was well-received and enhanced Kozeluch's reputation in royal circles. It almost certainly played a part in his appointment in 1792 to the court of Leopold's son and successor, the last Holy Roman Emperor Franz II.
