Mayr: Giuseppe
Catalog Number: 8.574710
Composed in 1829 for graduation concerts at his Bergamo academy, Mayr's Giuseppe takes its cue from Méhul's Joseph yet ranges far wider — grand arias, duets and choruses, with knowing nods to Donizetti, Rossini and Bellini in a colourful pasticcio oratorio.
Mayr: Giuseppe
Giuseppe was composed by Mayr in 1829 for graduation concerts at the academy of music in Bergamo over which he presided. His inspiration was a Biblical opera that had won great popularity, Méhul’s Joseph, which had premiered in Paris in 1807, featuring prayers, hymns and unassuming arias. Mayr, however, drew on a much wider musical canvas to include grand arias, duets, a cavatina and a final chorus. He also repeatedly references popular melodies by his contemporaries Donizetti, Rossini and Bellini as befits a pasticcio oratorio.
