“Fantastic colourful music!” (review “Rheinpfalz”, 05.14.2013) As part of his musical and historical research Markus Korselt published four symphonies of the german composer Baron Sigismund von Rumling (1739 - 1825). 2013 was the first-time performance under his direction with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra (patron: Prime Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer). In cooperation with the broadcasting union of Saarland the symphonies were also recorded on CD. Rumling was a highly respected and quite famous composer at his time. W. A. Mozart mentioned proudly a compliment of Rumling to him in a letter dated 2. October 1777 to his father. For biographical information about Sigismund von Rumling click here.

Symphony in E major "Christmas Symphony" Allegro. Andante grazioso, Allegro un poco Presto Instrumentation: 2 oboes, 2 horns, strings Duration: 16 minutes The Symphony in E major with its harmonic ingenuity, wonderfull singing themes  and expressive dynamics is a charming work of “Sturm und Drang” - period. Symphony in E-flat major Allegro maestoso, Rondeau-Andante, Allegro Instrumentation: 2 oboes, 2 horns, strings Duration: 13 minutes The Symphony in E flat major begins with a huge "Mannheim roll" and impresses with a charming Rondo and the fiery finale. Symphony in D major "Symphony of Homburg" Allegro, Andante, Allegro Instrumentation: 2 oboes, 2 horns, 1 trumpet, timpani, strings Duration: 13 minutes The Symphony in D major is designed for large symphonic sound and convinces with its exchange of melodic and virtuos parts.
