About article:
Archbishop-primate Emericus Esterházy (1663–1745) has hitherto been known only
as a patron of fine art and architecture (G. R. Donner, A. Galli Bibiena and others).
Esterházy, however, during the period 1725–1745 also had an outstanding court music
ensemble, in which a number of musicians of European significance were active. These
included composers (Joseph Umstatt, Johann Matthias Schenauer, Leopold Carl, Johann
Peter Behr, Francesco Durante, Johann Otto Rossetter) and many outstanding performers
(Giacomo Calandro, Domenico Tasselli, Filippo Antonelli, Angelo Cavallari). Apart from
the ensemble’s composition, this study also addresses the social status of the musicians and
the ensemble’s collaboration with other musicians not only from Bratislava (St. Martin’s
Cathedral), but particularly with the Imperial Court Ensemble and other Viennese
musicians and instrument-makers (A. Posch, M. M. Fichtl, M. Leichamschneider etc.), as
well as with local Bratislava organ-builders (T. Pantoček, V. Janeček). Primate Esterházy’s
ensemble belongs to the most celebrated period in the musical history not only of Bratislava
but of Central Europe as a whole.
