De Jean-Baptiste LULLY transcr. D’Angelbert: Menuets ‘Dans nos bois’ and ‘La Jeune Iris’ (from Trios pour le coucher du Roi), Les songes d’Atys, Chaconne de Phaeton, Chambonnières agréables François COUPERIN: Movements from Troisième Ordre in C minor John Kitchen continues his much-lauded series of recordings from the instruments of the world-famous Roger Mirrey collection of keyboard instruments. Recorded in St Cecilia's Hall, Scotland's oldest purpose-built concert hall, this programme is specifically designed to highlight the unique qualities of the 1755 double-manual harpsichord by Luigi Baillon. Built in Cyteux, Burgundy, it has a very different sound from Parisian instruments of the time; cleaner and brighter in tone, it is the perfect vehicle for Kitchen's subtly nuanced playing, which brings the sophistication of the period to new life. The familiarity born of Kitchen's daily experience with the Edinburgh collections and their setting shines through these performances.
Label: Stradivarius File Under: Classical/Secular Vocal music Catalogue No: STR33963 Barcode: 8011570339638 NORMAL Price Format: 1 CD Packaging: digipack La Dolce Maniera Luigi Gaggero [director] MONTEVERDI: Il Quarto Libro dei Madrigali La Dolce Maniera Luigi Gaggero RELEASE DATE 29TH JULY 2013 From the introduction by Luigi Gaggero: “In our interpretation of the Fourth Book, we have considered the poetic text as the guiding element that defines all other musical parameters: dynamics, rhythm, colors and vocal gestures. Absolute respect of the prosody of these texts (and not only the search for clear and correct pronunciation, but also the respect of the metric, rhyme and internal assonance) has led us to look for an ever-changing tonal palette, linked to the emotional movement of the affects, and a variety of vocal gestures closely related to the meaning of the poems. In particular, taking into account the fact that Monteverdi wrote 'L’Orfeo', the first true masterpiece in the history of opera, only four years after the publication of the Fourth book, we felt it was important to seek the harmony of the whole without losing the personality and autonomy of each single voice within the madrigal: only in this way, we believe, can one underline the genius of Monteverdi, who, with a sensitivity that has few equals in the history of art, tells us with infinite love about the human soul, and the voices that inhabit it”.
