Carl Stamitz (Karel Stamic): Viola Concerto in D major, Wolfram Christ (viola)

Carl Stamitz (Karel Stamic) - Viola Concerto in D major, Wolfram Christ (viola), Kölner Kammerorchester (Cologne Chamber Orchestra), Helmut Müller-Brühl (conductor)
Carl Philipp Stamitz (Karel Stamic, 8 May 1745 - 9 November 1801) was a German composer of partial Czech ancestry. He was the most prominent representative of the second generation of the Mannheim School but he was more successful as a virtuoso on the viola d'amore than as a composer, though his enormous catalog of symphonies, symphonies concertantes, and concertos was impressive enough to provoke envy in Mozart.
Carl Stamitz viola Concerto in D major is one of the best known (or notorious, for someone) works among viola students and viola players.

This is a Viola Audition standard. Wolfram had a fair amount to do with Australia. I remember he was working at a National Music Camp in Australia I think it was about 1987. He was a viola hero of mine when I was studying Viola at the Victorian College of the Arts. I went to hear his concerts with the MSO and later with a group of soloists from the Berlin Philharmonic playing at the Melbourne Concert Hall. He married an Australian woman I believe. I also studied Viola with one of his students Jane Hazelwood.

Wolfram Christ is such a cool name wtf

[@matteovasta5952]

Il piacere di gustare le qualità virtuosistiche della viola. Il protagonista era prima viola di un compagine superstar. Il secondo movimento la solita aria operistica.

Does anybody know which cadenca Christ is playing here? :)

[@violaisreallycool]

I would very much like to know too! Perhaps it’s his own.
