Venice's Fragrance: this delightful disc from Nurial Rial and Artemandoline celebrates the 18th century's love affair with the mandolin
[…] Galuppi, Gennaro Manna, Francesco Bartolomeo Conti, and Antonio Lotti, concertos by Antonio Vivaldi and a sonata by Carlo Arrigoni. The ensemble is made up by a core group of instrumentalists, here joined by a number of collaborators to form a chamber ensemble comprising, Juan Carlos Muñoz & Mari Fe Pavón baroque mandolins, Girolamo Bottiglieri & María Roca violins, Ellie Nimeroski viola, Oleguer Aymamí cello, Manuel Muñoz baroque guitar, Ulrik Gaston Larsen theorbo, Jean-Daniel Haro double-bass, Ralf Waldner harpsichord, Alla Tolkacheva baroque mandolin, Martin Zeller & Leonardo Bortolotto baryton.

Aelita thus exemplifies the ideals of the Soviet experiment, where dreams of modernity and progressive change flourished, briefly, before the Stalinist clampdown. Constructivism and Futurism, inspiring Eisenstein, and so many others. This context matters for it was the background to Shostakovich's opera The Nose (reviewed here). The teenage Shostakovich is believed to have played piano at screenings of the film. Although the plot is loosely based on a story by Tolstoy, Protaznov's film contrasts the reality of Soviet life in his time with a brilliantly exotic fantasy kingdom on Mars. Aelita lives in a place designed in extravagant art deco angles with shards of reflective glass and […]
