{"product_id":"graun-biscevic-gentle-tenor-music-cd","title":"Graun \/ Biscevic - Gentle Tenor - Music CD","description":"Carl Heinrich Graun is known as Frederick the Great's court Kapellmeister, but less well known is the fact that Graun enjoyed an important reputation as a singer and that the king had originally engaged him as such at his court. In his obituary, the king characteristically honoured his court Kapellmeister with the words: \"We will not hear such a singer again\"! Graun's voice is characterised as a \"high tenor\" with \"great lightness\" and, according to a contemporary, he sang the slow pieces in particular \"very gently and touchingly\". Aco Biscevic probably corresponds exactly to this voice type: as a \"haute-contre\" (a tenor with a very high, light voice), his vocal range lies between tenor and the falsetto countertenor. Graun composed the three secular cantatas presented on this recording as a world premiere for himself and his voice during his time in Wolfenbuttel. Biscevic is accompanied by the baroque orchestra of the Thuringen Philharmonie Gotha-Eisenach under the direction of Michael Hofstetter, an expert in the discovery of young voices (think of Valer Sabadus or Samuel Marino).","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239154348263,"sku":"ACR24404.2","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/ar-ae\/products\/graun-biscevic-gentle-tenor-music-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
