5 Star : La Clemenza di Tito K. 621
06/07/2006
If there is one neglected work among Mozart’s mature operas, it is La Clemenza di Tito. Its weaknesses have been seen in its long recitatives, which were not composed by Mozart but probably by his pupil Süssmayr, and in its use of a reworked Metastasio libretto, considered out of date at the time of the premiere.

3 for 2 Offer: Italian Baroque Pack (Jomelli-Vivaldi-Rossi)
08/02/2006
Here at Goldberg we very much appreciate Italian Early Music and so we would like our readers to be able to read more about it. So, we have created our Italian Baroque Pack, which includes 3 magazines for the price of 2.

Jomelli, Vivaldi and Rossi, three great masters of Italian Baroque, were featured on the covers and main article in issues 3, 17 and 8 of our magazine. Reading further about their lives and work enable us to better understand Italian Baroque, a moment in musical history which can be considered to be unrepeatable.

Special Offer: Early Women Pack
//
From the Middle Ages until today, there have been many women who have composed music despite, at times, having to overcome many difficulties. But there are few who had such exceptional talent like Hildegard Von Bingen or Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.

The Goldberg Magazine wants to pay tribute to these women who were involved in Early Music and so we have chosen these two great composers, whose works and talent still surprise and fascinate their contemporaries.

So we have put together Hildegard Von Bingen and Elisabeth Jacquet to make a pack of 2 magazines that explore the history of these two extraordinary women, who despite the difficulties of their time, were able to contribute so much to music.

William Boyce : a subtle balance between moderation, courtesy, elegance and vitality
31/07/2006
English music from the Tudor and Elizabethan periods - Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, Dowland - is relatively familiar to early music enthusiasts, but the same cannot be said of 18th century English music, including the work of composers such as Maurice Green, William Boyce, Charles Avison, Thomas Arne, John Stanley, Thomas Linley the younger and Charles Wesley.
