Immerse yourself in the rich, baroque sounds of Johann Heinrich Schmelzer with the album "Schmelzer: Sacro-profanus sonatas." Released on Zig-Zag Territoires in 2013, this collection showcases Schmelzer's mastery of the sonata form, blending sacred and secular themes in a way that was innovative for the 17th century. The album features nine sonatas from the "Sacro-profanus concentus musicus," each offering a unique blend of instrumental textures and expressive depth. From the lively "Sonata No. 4 a sei" to the poignant "Lamento sopra la morte Ferdinandi III," Schmelzer's compositions display a remarkable range of emotion and technical skill. The inclusion of pieces like "Balletto a quatro 'Die Fechtschule'" and "Polnische Sackpfeiffen" adds a dynamic and playful element to the collection. With a total runtime of 53 minutes, this album is a captivating journey through the baroque period, highlighting Schmelzer's significant contributions to the musical canon.
