Giovanni Croce revealed
[…] instrumental music by Croce's contemporaries. Giovanni Croce (1557-1609) was a colleague and competitor of Giovanni Gabrieli (c1554/57 - 1612), both would work as St Mark's in Venice, the one becoming maestro di cappella and the other organist and principal composer. Giovanni Croce has started as a boy soprano and worked his way upp. Part of this process was regularly publishing works. He seems to have had some sort of understanding with the printer Giacomo Vincenti, a relative newcomer on the scene and keen to establish himself. Finally, in 1603 Croce became maestro di cappella at St Mark's at which point his publishing virtually stopped, having produced 15 collections of sacred music and seven of secular madrigals (he never seems to have written instrumental music).On this disc we have seven eight-part motets from Croce's Motetti a otto voci, Libro Primo (Venice 1594) and two five-part motets from Croces' Sacrae cantiones […]

The Sixteen (Coro)In 1641, two years before his death, Monteverdi arranged for the publication of a substantial volume of liturgical music that more or less encapsulated the three decades he had spent as choirmaster at St Mark’s in Venice. But that collection, the Selva Morale et Spirituale, was by no means comprehensive. Seven years after his death, the publisher Vincenti, with help from Monteverdi’s pupil Francesco Cavalli, put together another volume, the Messa et Salmi, consisting mostly, it seems, of pieces discovered among the composer’s own manuscripts, along with a Magnificat of Cavalli’s own. In fact, the title Mass for four voices is not included on the first of two discs that The Sixteen will devote to the collection. But there is still no shortage of first-rate music here, dispelling any notion that the Messa et Salmi only consists of pieces that Monteverdi himself did not think were worthy of preserving […]

Professor's Choir
Ending the week of clarinet entrepreneurship was the ICA Professors Ensemble. The ensemble, led by Robert Walzel, opened the concert with the upbeat, Ronald Scott arrangement of Poco Allegro from Five Bagatelles, Op. 47 by Dvorak. Masters of their instrument, it is no surprise that these clarinetists put on a final concert that was a smashing success. The theme was light and clear, bouncing through the ensemble with ease regardless of dynamic or tessitura. Piero Vincenti took the stage to lead the ensemble in three pieces he brought from Italy. The choir’s full sonorous sound filled the hall like a church organ during the Donizetti and Rossini arrangements by Pontini. The Klezmer rhapsody following added a wonderful color to the concert, especially in the E-flat stylings of Diane Barger who played with secure intonation and a warm tone most becoming but often absent in E-flat playing. Of all the pieces, none […]

Vandoren Chamber Music Night
[…] more familiar standards. His tone and legato was smooth and seamless, and with sensitivity to match, the intimacy of the performance lingered throughout the night. Next, Jon Manasse performed Crusell’s Quartet for Clarinet and Strings in E-flat Major, Op.2, No. 1. With frequent quips and laughter between Manasse and the Ritz Chamber Players, the audience eased into their seats to enjoy a performance from a clarinetist who never disappoints. In a world premiere, Piero Vincenti performed Claudio De Siena’s Italian Movies for Clarinets (E-flat, B-flat and G Clarinet). With quotes from The Godfather and rich Italian harmonies, the sweetness of Vincenti’s playing provided another splendid taste of newness to a concert of established standards. Continuing with Italian works, Henry Jones (piano) and Philippe Cuper (clarinet) gave a superb performance of Carlo Della Giacoma’s Cavaleria Rusticana Fantasia. Cuper played with excitement and fire, inspiring technical facility, and with a […]
