Giovanni Benedetto Platti, a previously lesser known
musician from the first half of the eighteenth century,
was an “oboista”, an oboe virtuoso at the Court of the
Prince-Bishop of Würzburg. He came from Northern
Italy, lived in Venice during his youth, and in 1722 –
together with a number of his fellow Italians – responded
to the call of the Würzburg regent, who wished
to lend his royal chapel the brilliance that only Italian
music could provide. Platti came to the city on the
Main River; after his employer’s death only two years
later, he continued to remain under his successors.
OehmsClassics is happy to now be publishing Volume
2 of the Platti sonatas (after release of the highly
acclaimed Volume 1 with Sebastian Hess and Axel
Wolf ). This time, Sebastian Hess invited Rüdiger Lotter
and Florian Birsak to accompany him in the recording
studio.
