Composer Joachim Nicolas Eggert made his way directly from Western Pomerania to Sweden. Born in 1779 in Gingst on the island of Rügen as the son of a shoemaker, he served as court Kapellmeister to the Swedish king in Stockholm from 1807 to 1812. He could well be called a "Swedish Beethoven", for as a conductor he gave the first Swedish performances of Beethoven's symphonies and oriented his own music after Beethoven's — and almost simultaneously: in 1808 his Beethoven was first heard in Stockholm, while in Vienna the Fifth was premiered the same year.
The excellent Franz Ensemble — named after Franz Schubert and decorated with the OPUS Klassik for its recordings of rediscovered chamber music — frames Eggert's piece with a magnificent and entertaining Swedish serenade around Beethoven.
