Composer Franz Danzi Discography (26)
Franz Danzi BiographyFranz Danzi served as a cellist in the famous Mannheim orchestra, remaining in Mannheim when the Electoral court moved to Munich in 1778. In 1783 Danzi took his father's place in the Munich orchestra and now continued his career as a composer with his third German opera. Having married a singer, he enjoyed an active career in opera that led to his appointment as deputy Kapellmeister in Munich in 1798. After his wife's death he returned to Mannheim and in 1807 was appointed Kapellmeister in Stuttgart, where he met Weber. In 1812 he moved to Karlsruhe, where again he was able to stage operas by Weber. He was, at the same time, a prolific composer in many genres. Stage Works Danzi wrote some eighteen stage works, generally in the form of German Singspiel, with its mixture of music and spoken dialogue.
Other forms used include melodrama, with its simultaneous music and speech, and grand opera in a setting of a version of the early 18th century libretto by Apostolo Zeno, Iphigenie in Aulis.
Vocal and Choral Music
Danzi wrote sacred and secular choral music, Masses, oratorios and cantatas. His songs and canzonettes are in contemporary style, but no longer regarded as an important part of German song tradition.
Orchestral Music
In orchestral music Danzi was similarly prolific, contributing principally to the Sinfonia concertante and concerto repertoire.
Chamber Music
Danzi's chamber music includes sextets, quintets, quartets and trios, some for strings, some for wind instruments and some for a combination of the two. His duo sonatas show a similar variety in their instrumentation. These works are generally in a style that reflects his own early experience in Mannheim and the influence of his teacher Abt Vogler, with whom Weber also studied.
Piano Music
There is a smaller amount of piano music by Danzi, including a number of works for four hands.

After leaving the orchestra in 1975, Galway has enjoyed a glorious solo career that's been well documented by a series of best-selling recordings on the RCA Victor label. Prior to launching an international solo career, Belfast-born James Galway was the principal flutist for Herbert Von Karajan's Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
