Carl Loewe: Happy Birthday, and Johann Huss

[EarlyRomantic]

Today is Loewes birthday. In thinking of him, I searched online, and found that his Oratorio, "Johann Huss" was just performed a month ago in Berlin. Happily, we've had his rare E-minor symphony posted here. I know another Oratorio, and an Opera, and, assessing from those, some of his finest inspiration emanates from the Soloists, Choir, and Orchestra genre.Could anyone find out any more about the October 27 & 28, 2012 performances? Of course, wouldn't it be exciting if those performances generated a recording? I value and care about Loewe and his music greatly.Did you know that as a boy, he sang the Queen of the Nights aria in Mozarts The Magic Flute? Developing a fine tenor voice as a man, he and his wife sang the parts in many of his Oratorios. If you enjoy Loewe, wish him Happy Birthday today.
