from Oannes *

Λίγη ακόμα “μουσική για πάρτυ”, αλλιώς, ένα ακόμα συνθετικό tour-de-force του 20χρονου Wolfgang. Αφορμή η παραγγελία του παιδικού του φίλου Sigmund Haffner για το γάμο της αδελφής του Marie Elizabeth. Ένας ακόμα θρίαμβος θα συντελείτο 6 χρόνια αργότερα με την περίφημη Συμφωνία Haffner: θα ξεκινούσε και αυτή ως Σερενάτα, παραγγελία του ίδιου ατόμου – αλλά αυτή είναι μια άλλη ιστορία.
Ακούμε το γεμάτο μουσικές ιδέες πρώτο μέρος της Haffner Serenade, Allegro Maestoso, Allegro Molto. Ο Colin Davis διευθύνει την Ορχήστρα της Βαυαρικής Ραδιοφωνίας

A little more “party music”, in other words, another compositional tour-de-force by Wolfgang, 20 years of age. This was commissioned by his childhood friend Sigmund Haffner on the occasion of his sister Marie Elizabeth’s wedding. Another triumph would occur 6 years later with the famous Haffner Symphony: it would also start as a Serenade, commissioned by the same person – but that’s another story.
We hear the abundant in musical ideas first part of Haffner Serenade, Allegro Maestoso, Allegro Molto. Colin Davis is conducting the Bavarian Radio Orchestra.

Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
