Jacopo Peri, 2023
This Week in Classical Music: August 28, 2023. Jacopo Peri. For the last two weeks, we've been preoccupied with Emilio de' Cavalieri, partly because his music is so interesting, but also because he and his parents had fascinating lives. And the period during which they lived – the Italian Renaissance and early Baroque – is captivating. One composer, whose birthday we missed while being engaged with Cavalieri, lived during the same time and was Cavalieri’s rival. His name is Jacopo Peri. Peri was born on August 20th of 1561, either in Florence or, more likely, in Rome, like Cavalieri.

Sei mir gegrüsst’s opening piano lilt was taken up just as keenly by Gerhaher, signalling a meeting of musical minds and practice. From the very outset, one might readily have taken dictation, verbal and musical, so clear was every aspect of the performance, that clarity never a goal in itself but means to an expressive end. Unity and variation in an initially strophic setting that then sets out along new paths were equally apparent, inspiring and comforting in similar measure. The almost Lisztian sensibility of Dass sie hier gewesen offered nice contrast, the […]
