RESOUND BEETHOVEN VIOLIN CONCERTO
Beethoven's D major concerto, which is now regarded as one of the greatest violin concertos of the 19th century, did not enjoy
the success it deserved during the composer's lifetime. It was not until almost forty years later, with the rediscovery of
the work by Felix Mendelssohn and the exceptional virtuoso Joseph Joachim, that it was finally recognised as a masterpiece.
The Beethoven admirer Franz Liszt, who made many beautiful transcriptions of music by other composers in the course of his
career, orchestrated the Andante cantabile from the "Archduke" Trio, which he incorporated into a cantata for the inauguration
of the Beethoven memorial in Bonn. The Wiener Akademie Orchestra and Martin Haselböck, accompanied by violinist Benjamin Schmid,
continue their "Resound" adventure with a recording of these magnificent pieces.

FRANZ LISZT: LEGENDS OF THE SAINTS II
With this second volume of the "Legends of the Saints", the Wiener Akademie Orchestra, under the direction of conductor and
organist Martin Haselböck, continues its recording of Liszt's mystical works. During the frequent religious phases of his
life, the composer occupied himself with the lives of great martyrs and saints, who gave him an entire oeuvre. These works,
including two previously unpublished recordings of Jeanne d'arc au bûcher, Die heilige Caecilia and the Salve Polonia from
the oratorio St. Stanislaus, are performed here by the Wiener Akademie and a magnificent vocal ensemble (Sunhae Im, Stephanie
Houtzeel and Sofia Vinnik as well as Thomas Hampson), whose timbres blend with the organ, harmonium, piano and harp to reveal
the inexhaustible genius of Liszt's work.

LISZT ORCHESTRAL SONGS
This CD combines works that Franz Liszt deliberately composed for large orchestra with orchestrations of his own - previously
small-scale - pieces (e.g. Der Titan, Le juif errant) and with songs by Franz Schubert that were orchestrated by Liszt (e.g.
Erlkönig, Gretchen am Spinnrad).

FRANZ LISZT: LEGENDS OF SAINTS I
Like probably no other composer of the 19th century, a striking number of Franz Liszt's sacred works contain references to
saints. Martin Haselböck and the Orchester Wiener Akademie have dedicated a series of recordings to these works. The first
volume features Saint Cecilia with Cantantibus organis, Saint Francis of Assisi with La prédication aux oiseaux (the first
of his Deux Légendes for orchestra) and the Cantico del Sol di Francesco d'Assisi as well as Saint Francis of Paola with St
François de Paule marchant sur les flots (Deux Légendes, No. 2).
Although these works bear little resemblance to Liszt's secular compositions, they are equally impressive in their beauty and refinement. This recording not only offers us a good opportunity to relive the composer's admirable skills, but also highlights an aspect of Liszt's work that is all too often forgotten.

MUSICA IMPERIALIS - 14 CD BOX
This box set brings together recordings from the years 1988 to 1999 that are closely linked to Martin Haselböck's own musical
work. In 1976, immediately after completing his studies, he was appointed organist at the Augustinerkirche in Vienna, the
"court parish church" where the Habsburgs used to celebrate their public religious festivals. In 1978, he was also appointed
to the honourable position of "court organist" at the Hofburg Chapel, also located in the Vienna Hofburg. This opened a door
for Martin Haselböck into a largely unknown musical world of baroque music.
Some of the finest examples of instrumental, organ and sacred works from the 17th and 18th centuries have been selected for this box set from the great treasure trove of imperial Habsburg music. They range from works by Emperor Ferdinand III, who composed around 1640, to the reconstruction of the music for the Prague coronation service for Leopold II in 1792.

GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL - ORGAN CONCERTOS OP. 4 & OP. 7
Handel is best known to the wider public for his large-scale choral and orchestral works, but his organ music is equally precious. It was the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels who, diverting him from a career in the law, spotted his exceptional abilities on the instrument. By the age of seventeen, Handel was already the resident organist at the Domkirche in Halle, and he was later to defeat Domenico Scarlatti in a contest of virtuosity during his time in Rome. Martin Haselböck and the Orchester Wiener Akademie have recorded the Organ Concertos opp.4 and 7 in the prestigious Vienna Musikverein, world-famous for its acoustics. Haselböck plays on the hall’s imposing Rieger organ in what is one of its very first recordings. Inaugurated in 2011, it is the fourth organ in the Musikverein since the hall opened in 1870. With its considerable dimensions – much larger than the organs Handel used to play on – the instrument offers a tonal palette rich in contrasts.

'A real asset
Liszt's orchestral works ... have always been the black sheep of the repertoire. Although there are several complete recordings (by Haitink, Masur and Plasson), none of these uses historical instruments of the 19th century. But this is exactly what the Austrian conductor Martin Haselböck offers. The pieces sound less militarised, more defiant, more contemplative and more experimental, all at the same time.
...For those, like me, who missed the separate releases of these recordings, made in Liszt's birthplace of Raiding beginning in 2010, this box set represents a real asset. It demands, as it were, justice for Franz Liszt.'
