Stylus Phantasticus (CD review)
[…] more-specific structures. It was not limited to choral music, for instance, or preexisting dances or melodies; instead, it allowed for more-creative imagination. While it wasn’t exactly a free-for-all, it did provide for a richer expression of musical interests before the concerto and the symphony would tie things down again.Anyway, the program is as follows: 1. Carlo Farina (1600–1639):“Sonata Seconda detta la Desperata” 2. Giovanni de Macque (1550–1614):“Toccata” 3. Marco Uccellini (1603–1680):“La Luciminia contenta,” Op. 4 No. 2 4. Francesco Corbetta (1615–1681):“Partite sopra La Folia” 5. Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli (1630–1669/70):“La Castella,” Op. 3 No. 4 6. Giovanni Battista Fontana (?-1630):“Sonata Seconda” 7. Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644–1704):“Sonata Prima” 8. Johann Heinrich Schmelzer (1620–1680):“Ciaconna in A” from Serenada in Mascara 9. Ignazio Albertini (1633–1685):“Sonata Prima for violin and continuo”10. Johann Heinrich Schmelzer (1620–1680):“Sonata Seconda” from Sonatæ unarum fidium11. Schmelzer:“Sonata Quarta” from Sonatæ unarum fidiumAs you might notice, the compositions follow a pattern of earliest to later music, with the […]

Sweeter than Roses: music of Purcell & his contemporaries from Anna Dennis & Sounds Baroque
Purcell, Corbetta, Lawes, Draghi; Anna Dennis, Sounds Baroque, Julian Perkins; Resonus Classics Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 16 February 2019 Star rating: 4.0 (★★★★) The songs of Purcell alongside music of his contemporaries in a striking programmeThis new disc on Resonus Classics from soprano Anna Dennis and Sounds Baroque, director Julian Perkins, is based around a programme which we caught at Conway Hall in 2017 [see my review]. The centrepiece of the disc is a sequence of Purcell's songs, from Sweeter than Roses to In the black, dismal dungeon of despair from An evening hymn to How blest are shepherds from King Arthur. Alongside Purcell's music we have instrumental by Purcell's contemporaries, a guitar suite by Francesco Corbetta and a harpsichord suite by Giovanni Battista Draghi, and a pair of songs by Purcell's older contemporary Henry Lawes. Julian Perkins' article in the booklet explains how the selection […]

Tombeaux - A secular requiem; Richard MacKenzie; Magnatune Reviewed by Robert Hugill on Jan 13 2018 Star rating: 4.0An engaging exploration of a very particular genre of French 17th century lute musicThis lovely disc from lutenist Richard MacKenzie on Magnatune is an exploration of a repertoire which was almost entirely new to me. Under the title Tombeaux: A Secular Requiem MacKenzie presents a sequence of mainly French 17th century tombeaux, memorial pieces for lute. We have music by Francis Pilkington, Anthony Holborne, Jacques de Gallot, Ennemond Gaultier le vieux, Denis Gaultier, François Dufault, Francesco Corbetta, Robert de Visée, François Campion, Gallot d'Irelande, Georg Gebel and Tobias Hume. The music is mainly 16th century, stretching from 1605 right through to 1738. Many of the composers were simply names to me, and their pieces generally explore a small group of […]
