Il Prete Rosso - the red priest, Antonio Vivaldi got this nickname because of his red hair. He came to the famous Venetian girls' orphanage Ospedale della Pietà as a young priest and violin teacher. There he also became acquainted with the instrument of the transverse flute, which was new at that time, played at the Ospedale by a girl called "Lucieta traversie". Vivaldi recognised the technical and expressive possibilities of the transverse flute and used it in a wide variety of genres. With his six "Concerti a Flauto traverso" Opus 10, he presented an entire collection of concertos for this new instrument for the first time in 1729. To this end, he reworked earlier concertos for other instruments and added a new concerto to make a very successful collection that was printed in the Netherlands. Like the famous "Seasons", three of the concertos have a programmatic character: Vivaldi combines rhythmic and harmonic elements, for example, to give musical form to the waves in "Tempesta di Mare" (The Sea Storm), the chirping in "Il Gardellino" (The Finch) or the ghosts and sleep in "La notte" (The Night).

Vos Nostra Resonet - New Music for Voices

In the summer of 2009 Harry van der Kamp and his Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam finished, with the recording of the "Cantiones Sacrae", their epic journey through the complete vocal oeuvre of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. All in all, a total of 17 CDs of music had been recorded. The project included the Complete Psalms, the Complete Secular Works, and the Cantiones Sacrae. Sweelinck, who was the organist at the Oude Kerk from the age of 15 until his death, carried out his musical activity at a time in which Catholicism had been supplanted by Calvinism. This development proved decisive in the composer basing his Magnum Opus - the composition of music for all the 150 Psalms - on the French texts of the Genevan Psalter, a metrical adaptation of the Biblical Psalms. On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Sweelinck's death, Glossa presents his complete vocal works in a box set for the first time.

Complete Vocal Works

Evening with Leopold Stokowski

The David harp is a type of harp from the German Baroque period. The figure of King David is usually depicted on the head of the harp column. The strings are fitted with brays, which gives this instrument a typical buzzing sound. In addition to the David harp, however, a number of other types of harp were used in baroque Germany, such as the single-row hooked harp, on which the pitch could be altered with hooks on the strings, or double-row chromatic harps. Mara Galassi and her colleague Flora Papadopoulos present a hitherto unknown German repertoire with their harp duets, which they interpret on five different harp types of this period. The works come from various German collections, such as the Dresden "Musikalische Rüstkammer", the collection of the Silesian Dominican monk Father Pius Hancke, but also works by Silvius Leopold Weiss, whose lute duets were transcribed for two harps. The CD ends with a transcription of Bach's famous "Concerto nach Italienischen Gusto", which the two harpists arranged for themselves in the style of the above-mentioned harp manuscripts and lute duets.

Un Opera Pour Trois Rois

Jean-Philippe Rameau's opéra-ballet Les Fêtes d'Hébé gains a stirring and bright-colored new recording from a starry line-up of soloists, György Vashegyi, his Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra. Though first performed at the end of the 1730s - between the two tragédies of Castor et Pollux and Dardanus - this work has received much less modern recognition for it's qualities than either of the other two, although it had a substantial success with it's first run of over 70 performances; an entertainment mixing delight and longing, underpinned by Rameau's coloristic and sophisticated orchestration and coupled with his supremely inspired pastoral writing. Now, with a new edition prepared by Pascal Denécheau (who also writes the booklet essay here), this new production presents modern-day stars of the French Baroque in Chantal Santon Jeffery, Olivia Doray, Judith van Wanroij, Reinoud Van Mechelen, Mathias Vidal and David Witczak, all relishing a libretto (peopled by characters from mythology and the Ancient World) which aims at celebrating the artistic aptitudes to be found on the stage of the Opéra in Paris: Poetry, Music and Dance (from which derives the opera's subtitle of "Les Talents lyriques").This new recording presents the June 1739 version of this opéra ballet (whilst embracing changes made in revivals from across subsequent decades), and additionally includes the original version of the second entrée, "La Musique".

Les Fetes D'hebe

Only a few pieces by Giovanni Salvatore have been recorded. This release bears witness to the unbelievable artistic atmosphere that prevailed in Naples in the middle of the 17th century and which was significantly influenced by Giovanni Salvatore, and makes clear the importance of this Neapolitan keyboard virtuoso. In addition to expressive toccatas and canzones, there are also verses from three Masses that are performed alternately between organ and choral choir. On two very well restored original instruments, Fabio Vonizzoni brings not only his modernity and self-confidence, but also an almost ideal balance of passionate freedom and formality. This integration of apparent opposites makes the appeal and quality of this music a fascinating link between Frescobaldi and the next generation.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Goldberg Variations

Since the early 1990 s, Antonio Vivaldi and Fabio Biondi have become an inseparable pair for many music lovers around the world. In his latest recording for Glossa, Mr. Biondi offers further proof of Vivaldi's astonishing imaginative powers as a composer of violin concertos, matched by Biondi's own dynamic and cultured virtuosity as a violinist (and director). with these Farewell Concertos, Biondi - leading Europa Galante - turns to works written by a Vivaldi very near the end of his life as he traveled to Vienna in a desperate search for creative opportunities. I concerti Dell' -Addio sees the composer in a Vienna in mourning for it's recently deceased emperor and himself more attuned to the now fashionable gallant style, bearing witness to Vivaldi's late style as it headed in the direction of Tartini and Locatelli.

Farewell Concertos [CD]

Ignacio Prego is a leading member of the rising generation of Spanish early music specialists recording for Glossa such as Josetxu Obregón and Lina Tur Bonet. He has a busy concert schedule across Europe, the US and Asia, and is frequently to be heard performing harpsichord concertos with ensembles such as the The English Concert, collaborating with eminent musicians such as Monica Huggett and Nicholas McGegan, or giving solo harpsichord recitals, where he is able to demonstrate his special preference for the works of J.S. Bach. On his first solo release for Glossa he had presented Bach's 'Goldberg Variations', now followed on his new recording by a selection of Bach's Partitas and English Suites. Fine photographs from Noah Shaye in the booklet round up a new inspiring Glossa title.

La Toison Dor

Selbst ein versierter Geiger, verstand es Georg Philipp Telemann in seinen 12 Fantasien TWV 40:14-25 für Violine solo weder gegen den Spieler noch gegen das Instrument zu komponieren. Stattdessen ist man immer wieder verblüfft über den musikalischen Einfallsreichtum und die intimen Kenntnisse des Instruments, die der Komponist hier offenbart. Fast scheint es so, als habe Telemann mit dem Zyklus eine Art klingendes Portrait der Violine im Sinn gehabt. Der renommierte Barockgeiger Fabio Biondi macht in seiner Einspielung die zahlreichen Vorzüge dieser Solowerke hörbar und legt gleichzeitig seine erste Soloaufnahme bei GLOSSA vor.

Telemann: 12 Fantasias for Solo Violin

In Baroque opera the dramatic figure of Gaius Julius Caesar received a considerable amount of attention from librettists and composers alike, and not just from G.F. Handel working with Nicola Francesco Haym. With Giulio Cesare, a Baroque hero, Raffaele Pe creates a full recital devoted to the Ancient Roman warrior and Dictator of the Republic, drawn from operas spanning the length of the eighteenth century. With refined musicality and artistry the countertenor Pe approaches roles demonstrating contrasting personality traits of the Caesar who was capable not only of heroic acts but also of compassion, of amorous exhilaration, of physical and emotional fragility. The sweep of the eighteenth century encompassed by these compositions also embraced the onstage heyday of the castratos: including Felice Salimbeni, Senesino, Cusanino, Sciroletto and Gasparo Pacchiarotti - demanding from Raffaele Pe great agility in covering both contralto and soprano castrato tessituras. Alongside excerpts from Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto there are arias from works which Pe has been working onto provide modern performing scores together with scholar Valentina Anzani such as by Carlo Francesco Pollarolo, Niccolò Piccinni, Geminano Giacomelli andFrancesco Bianchi. Pe is accompanied here by La Lira di Orfeo directed by Luca Giardini, in this, their debut recording.

Various Artists - Baroque Hero   [COMPACT DISCS]

In a new recording of music by Alessandro Scarlatti, Josetxu Obregón's La Ritirata parades it's dazzling vocal and instrumental talents in presenting the four cantatas which involve recorders and violins, together with an additional standalone soprano aria, for a further Glossa Neapolitan-flavored release. Drawn from his well over 800 secular cantatas these works combine fully-integrated, imaginative recitatives, expressive and dramatic arias and colorful and exacting instrumental sinfonias and ritornelli into elegant and compact wholes, and featuring poetic texts which typically followed the aspirations of the Accademia degli Arcadi literary circle initiated in Rome around the turn of the eighteenth century. The scene for Scarlatti's prolific creativity is set by Stefano Russomanno in his booklet essay. The vocal duties are assigned to three leading interpreters of today, mezzo Giuseppina Bridelli, countertenor Filippo Mineccia and soprano Alicia Amo. Rising here to the instrumental challenges set by Scarlatti are long-standing members of La Ritirata, Tamar Lalo (recorder) and Hiro Kurosaki (violin), who are joined on their respective instruments by Michael Form and Pablo Prieto. With cellist Obregón, Lalo and Kurosaki had been the leading soloists for La Ritirata's recent Neapolitan Concertos for various instruments release.

Scarlatti / Obregon / Mineccia - Quella Pace Gradita  [COMPACT DISCS]

Today's music lovers associate "L'Orfeo" first and foremost with Claudio Monteverdi's famous opera from 1607, while the version by Luigi Rossi (1597-1653), premiered four decades later, has remained less well-known. Rossi had served as a musician first for the noble families Borghese and Barberini in Florence and Rome, respectively, before he moved to France in 1646, where he became the most respected composer at the court of Cardinal Mazarin. His "L'Orfeo", with a libretto by Francesco Buti, was premiered on 2 March 1647 at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris. It was one of the first operas ever performed in France. The premiere was magnificently staged, full of magnificent sets and machinery, with over 200 people employed to work on the scenery. The performance lasted about six hours and was a great success for Rossi. Twenty years after the first recording by Les Arts Florissants and William Christie, Elena Sartori and her ensemble Allabastrina present now the second recording of this opera. The total playing time is slightly under four hours, almost Wagnerian proportions. Sartori uses exclusively Italian forces (17 solo singers and choristers), with the Baroque experts Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli (Orfeo) and Emanuela Galli (Euridice) in the main roles.

L'orfeo

André Cardinal Destouches was one of the most important opera composers of the generation between Lully and Rameau. Louis XIV is said to have declared that no opera since Lully had pleased him as much as Destouche's first work "Issé" (1697). His subsequent operas also quickly found their way into the repertoire of the Academie Royale de la Musique.

Phantasia

Himmelsburg is the name of the former chapel of Wilhelmsburg Castle in Weimar; Johann Sebastian Bach's "workplace" during his time as court organist and chamber musician at the Weimar court. This chapel was irretrievably destroyed in the great castle fire of 6 May 1774. In Bach's time; a high musical culture prevailed at the Weimar court. The young Prince Johann Ernst; himself a good violinist and harpsichordist; was enthusiastic about Italian music; and Bach was inundated with the latest concerti from Italy; especially by Vivaldi. In addition; there was close contact with the violin virtuoso Johann Georg Pisendel; so it is no exaggeration to call Weimar the concertante and violinistic cradle of Bach. On her new CD; Lina Tur Bonet interprets "all" of Bach's four concertos for solo violin. All of them probably date from his Weimar period. The two original concertos BWV 1041 and 1042 contain many stylistic references to Vivaldi. In addition; Lina Tur Bonet presents the reconstructions of the concertos BWV 1052r and 1056r; two harpsichord concertos that were almost certainly originally intended for violin.

Arias & Cantatas Op. 8

The Russian composer Sergey Akhunov (b. 1967) was educated at the Kiev State Conservatory, before he started his career as an oboe player. He subsequently gained experience in various musical styles and genres such as electronic music and rock. In the mid-2000s, he consistently turned to composing orchestral, chamber and vocal music, but also film music. This recording presents vocal music by Akhunov, including "Songs", which he wrote as a commission for La Voce Strumentale. Dmitry Sinkovsky as the spiritus rector of the recording - he is at the same time singer (countertenor) and conductor - succeeds in an impressive way, among others seconded by soprano Julia Lezhneva in three songs, in combining tonal contemporary music with the sound of an early music ensemble.

This La Ritirata release featuring the complete string quartets of Crisóstomo de Arriagais a follow-up to their Early Baroque program Il Spiritillo Brando Glossa. On this new recording, the underlying spirit of La Ritirata is of an intensive consideration of musical (and other) sources before attempting fresh interpretations. The use here of period instruments for these works is a first.

Apocryphal Sonatas

Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville (1711-1172) setzte die von Lully und Delalande einst initiierte Tradition der Grands Motets fort und entwickelte diese repräsentative französische Sonderform der geistlichen Musik sowohl stilistisch als auch formal weiter. Vier seiner grandiosen Motetten hat György Vashegyi mit einem hervorragenden Solistenquintett, dem Orfeo Orchestra und dem Purcell Choir für GLOSSA eingespielt. Diese Werke sind Paradebeispiele für Mondonvilles virtuose Schreibweise und seinen Sinn für einfallsreiche, fließende Melodien. Sie stellen höchst reizvolle Bereicherungen des barocken Repertoires dar.
