So who was Anton Schweitzer? Born in 1735, he was a child prodigy who enjoyed the patronage of the Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen. The duke paid for his education and made him Kapellmeister of his court orchestra.
When the orchestra was disbanded, Schweitzer hit the road with a theatrical troupe. Most of his surviving compositions are operas, written for the troupe. And that’s the key word surviving.
Much of Schweitzer’s music has been lost over time. This album, for example, represents almost the whole of his surviving sacred music. And that’s a pity because it’s really good.
