獻給公主的夏康舞曲(韓德爾/雷克萊爾)
亞娜·塞梅拉多娃 巴洛克橫笛
埃里希·特拉克斯勒 大鍵琴
在巴洛克時期, 上音樂和藝術課程是皇室家族兒童教育不可或缺的一部份. 大英帝國國王喬治二世的長女安妮公主(1709-1759)幸運的有個優秀的老師. 在五歲時, 她從出生的城市漢諾威搬到倫敦, 在十一年之間, 她在著名的作曲家和鍵盤樂器演奏家韓德爾指導之下培育她的音樂才能. 韓德爾曾奉獻幾件他的作品給安妮公主(其中包含婚禮小夜曲帕納索的慶典, Parnasso in festa), 還有幾件被包含知名長笛演奏家米歇爾.布拉維特(Michel Blavet)改編他極受歡迎的作品. 在她的結婚並離開倫敦之後, 安妮公主不再上大鍵琴課程, 但她在海牙宮廷的新家仍然信仰謬思並有許多優秀的藝術家在身邊. 有幾年間, 宮廷雇用了技藝高招的小提琴家兼宮廷樂長的尚-瑪麗.雷克萊爾(Jean-Marie Leclair), 他將他的奏鳴曲獨奏作品第四冊獻給安妮公主. 在其中的一些作品, 他以吹笛人的喜悅提到有機會用”德國長笛(flute allemande)”當作替代樂器來演奏. 長笛獨奏家亞娜·塞梅拉多娃曾和多位知名的早期音樂家合作過(S. Azzolini, A. Bernardini, E. Onofri等人), 並在幾個重要的音樂節表演過(Utrecht, Leipzig, Halle, Versailles, Sable, Regensburg, …). 大鍵琴家埃里希·特拉克斯勒是一位傑出的獨奏家兼室內樂音樂家, 他曾經在世界各地最知名的音樂廳表演過. 安妮公主非凡的音樂故事是這兩位優秀樂家事蹟的交會點.

During the Baroque era, taking music and art lessons was an integral part of education of children in royal
families. Anne, Princess of Orange (1709-1759), the eldest daughter of King George II of Great Britain, was
fortunate in having excellent teachers. At the age of five, she moved from her native city of Hanover to
London, where for eleven years her musical talent was cultivated by G. F. Handel, a celebrated composer
and keyboard virtuoso. Handel dedicated a number of his works to the Princess (among them the wedding
serenade Parnasso in festa), while other, highly popular, pieces of his were arranged, including by the
virtuoso flautist Michel Blavet. Following her wedding and departure from London, Anne no longer took
harpsichord lessons, yet at the court in The Hague, her new home, she remained faithful to the Muses and
surrounded herself with excellent artists. For a few years, the court employed the superb violinist and
Kapellmeister Jean-Marie Leclair, who dedicated to Anne his fourth book of solo sonatas. In the case of
some of them, he mentioned – to the delight of all flautists – the possibility of their being performed by
"flûte allemande" as an alternative instrument. As a soloist, the flautist Jana Semeradova has worked with
distinguished early music specialists (S. Azzolini, A. Bernardini, E. Onofri, etc.) and has performed at major
festivals (Utrecht, Leipzig, Halle, Versailles, Sablé, Regensburg, etc.). Erich Traxler is an outstanding soloist
and chamber player, who has appeared at the most renowned concert venues worldwide. Princess Anne's
remarkable musical story is the intersection of the stories of the two exceptional musicians.
