Solo & Trio Sonatas

In recent decades, the music of Spanish composer José de Nebra (1702-1768) has enjoyed it's well-deserved renaissance, and time and again one is amazed at the melodic inventiveness and dramatic power of his works. Alberto Miguélez Rouco and his ensemble Los Elementos present here the zarzuela Donde hay violencia, no hay culpa ("Where there is violence, there is no guilt"), first performed in 1744, which treats the story of the rape of the virtuous Roman woman Lucretia, the founding myth of the Roman Republic, as handed down by Livius.

GESUALDO: PRIMO LIBRO DI MADRIGALI

The chamber cantata flourished in Italy as a counterpart to public opera and oratorio, cultivated by aristocratic patrons for their personal enjoyment. Perhaps because of it's essentially private origins, this pervasive Baroque form remains relatively little known today. Between 2005 and 2009, Fabio Bonizzoni and his ensemble La Risonanza issued one of the most important album series of the last decades. In seven volumes and featuring some of the brightest stars of the Baroque vocal galaxy - such as Roberta Invernizzi, Nuria Rial and Raffaela Milanesi -, Bonizzoni delivered milestone versions of all the chamber cantatas with instrumental accompaniment that George Frideric Handel composed during his stay in Italy (1706-1710).The seven volumes are now available in a limited edition box set that includes a booklet with a newly written essay and all the sung texts, and the original PDF versions of the booklets included in a data session on the seventh disc.

Scylla Et Glaucus

Venice's four famous "Ospedali" - houses for orphans with a fundamental musical education and outstanding music ensembles and soloists - were among the city's most important cultural institutions for a long time. Many prominent musicians worked at the Ospedali, including the famous singer, singing teacher and opera composer Nicola Porpora. He worked at three of the four Ospedali between 1729 and 1747. At the so-called "Ospedaletto", he taught singing to several female students and also met the highly talented singer Angiola Moro, known as "Anzoletta". Porpora created some of the most demanding solo roles for her during his time at the Ospedaletto. The mezzo-soprano José Maria Lo Monaco, who has performed as an opera soloist (not only in baroque operas) on the world's great stages, has taken on "Anzoletta's" parts and presents two cantatas and a Salve Regina on this recording. She is accompanied by the Ensemble Stile Galante under the direction of Stefano Aresi, which completes the program with Porpora's cello concerto, interpreted by Agnieszka Oszanca.

Music for the Venetian Ospedaletto

What was the first composition ever written for solo violoncello? What was composed before Bach created his extraordinary suites for solo cello? These questions drove the cellist Josetxu Obregón to devote himself to the beginnings of solo literature for his instrument. These beginnings can be found in the city of Bologna, which, with it's brilliant Capella Musicale and the Accademia Filarmonica, made a decisive contribution to the development of the violin and the cello. Obregon presents two ricercari by Domenico Gabrielli from 1688 as the first specific works for unaccompanied solo cello. Further stations on the way from Bologna to Cöthen to the climax of this genre with Bach's six suites are compositions by Vitali, Galli, de Ruvo, Dall' Abaco, Supriano and Colombi. Bach's works are also presented by Obregon, but in an unusual way: He takes a dance movement from each of Bach's suites and then places them - as a comparison of styles - between the works from his Italian anthology.

Celloevolution

The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century continues true to it's original guiding spirit, with a new recording of the six Hamburg Symphonies, Wq 182 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. This second son of JS Bach, Carl Philipp has sometimes had a rough ride with posterity (and with some of his contemporaries too). Although overshadowed later by Haydn and Mozart - albeit admired by the pair - and overshadowed in his lifetime by Handel, he remains a crucial link between the Baroque and the Classical, particularly for the ultra-sensitive style, his Empfindsamkeit. Thirty years spent writing hundreds of harpsichord works in the Berlin of Frederick II of Prussia before moving to Hamburg to write religious music at the Johanneum, his mind was awash with new and different ideas appreciated by Gottfried van Swieten. This baron commissioned these six symphonies, urging Carl Philipp to aim high in his compositional writing, and he responded by giving free rein to his musical ideas and his treatment of the instruments in these six three-movement works. Scored for strings and continuo, these works from 1773 have very little in common with other pre-classical symphonies, including those by Carl Philipp's brother Johann Christian (or Italian opera overtures), as is remarked upon by Emilio Moreno in his booklet essay. The Orchestra - here with Alexander Janiczek as leader - responds with evident ple asure to Bach's rich harmonies, bold dynamics and flowing melodies and with much appetite for his virtuosic instrumental writing.

Mozart: Basset Horn Divertimenti

The influence of the Franco-Flemish Renaissance composer Heinrich Isaac extends into today with his extraordinarily prolific output. The period ensemble, Cantica Symphonia led by Giuseppe Maletto gives an inspired performance in this release that features a cross section of Isaac's many motets, choral pieces along with the first time recording of the music for a mass setting, Missa Misericordias Domini.

Issac: Missa Misericordias Domini & Motets

Amply demonstrating that Charles-Hubert Gervais didn't just excel in composing operas, György Vashegyi turns his attention to the French Baroque composer's sacred music, with a new disc of "Grands Motets" containing five extended and sumptuous psalms and hymns, involving soloists, chorus and orchestra. Gervais' relative modern-day anonymity in this genre can to a large extent be placed at the door of historical circumstance: during the end of the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV he was employed by the king's younger brother Philippe d'Orléans and continued so during d'Orléans' Regency and it wasn't until 1723 that Gervais obtained an official post as one of the four sous-maîtres of the Chapelle du Roi. And then any motet he wrote went straight into the royal library without publication and has required today's transcribers to create performing editions. Tones of celebration, relief (on Louis XV's recovery from a nasty illness), solemnity, meditation, a dash of restrained theatricality, bold harmonies and lighter orchestral textures than with Lalande (or Bernier and Campra) provide Vashegyi's Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra with plenty of scope to demonstrate their collective mastery and experience of the idiom, and they are more than ably assisted by the solo contributions of Olivia Doray, Katalin Szutrély, Cyrille Dubois, Mathias Vidal and David Witczak.

THE DI MARTINELLI MANUSCRIPT: VIOLIN SONATAS OF THE LATE 17TH CENTURY

Ohne werbewirksam zu übertreiben lässt sich konstatieren, dass es sich bei der Gesamtaufnahme der neun Madrigalbücher von Claudio Monteverdi durch das Ensemble La Venexiana auf GLOSSA um die bislang überzeugendste, ja perfekteste Umsetzung dieser Werke handelt. International mit zahlreichen Preisen überhäuft, lässt sich hier durch die außerordentliche interpretatorische Qualität des Ensembles (das nicht nur hinsichtlich Textdeklamation und rhetorischer Finesse für lange, sehr lange Zeit internationale Standards setzt) anhand von Gipfelwerken dieser Gattung Madrigalkunst in höchster Vollendung erleben. Das Label hat die einzelnen Einspielungen aus den Jahren 1998-2006 jetzt in einer erstaunlich preiswerten Box zusammengefasst, die sich in ihrer wertigen und ansprechenden Gestaltung an die Originalausgaben anlehnt. Die Gesamtausgabe bietet dem Musikliebhaber nicht nur die originalen viersprachigen Booklets samt Übersetzungen der Gesangstexte als pdf, sondern darüber hinaus auch noch einen neuen zusammenfassenden Kommentar des Monteverdi-Experten Stefano Russomanno sowie ein 2002 entstandenes Live-Album des Ensembles mit Madrigalen Monteverdis als Bonus-CD.

Francesco Cavalli: Sospiri D'amore

Bis vor kurzem ging man davon aus, dass Alessandro Scarlattis La Passione secondo Giovanni die einzige Passionsvertonung des italienischen Barock sei. Doch nun hat Antonio Florio in einem Archiv die Partitur der ca. 1685 entstandenen Johannespassion von Gaetano Veneziano (1656-1716) entdeckt. Florio hat sich sehr um die Wiederentdeckung des Komponisten verdient gemacht und zahlreiche Werke Venezianos mit seinem Ensemble (das früher ¿I Turchini¿ hieß, sich aber aus rechtlichen Gründen umbenennen musste) eingespielt. Die anspruchsvolle Rolle des Evangelisten wird hier von dem Countertenor Raffaele Pe interpretiert.

Pe/Cervoni/Bussi/Florio/Ghislieri Choir: Johannespassion (Ne

With Molière à lopéra, Jérôme Correas and Les Paladins bring their much-admired combination of Baroque musical stylishness and use of the technique of parlé-chanté, adding colour and contrast to the sung text, to comédies-ballets composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully and Marc-Antoine Charpentier during the reign of Louis XIV. The musical and theatrical partnership involving Lully and Molière they were dubbed les deux Baptiste was one of the most invigorating ever entered into, marrying melody, words, acting and a shared hunger for fame. The collaboration spanned ten works over a decade from 1661. Although Molière never provided the words for a Lully opera, the great dramatist clearly inspired the composer who was ten years his junior, in his later tragédies lyriques, a view upheld by the essayist for this recording, Elisabeth Giuliani. As well as presenting scenes from Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, this new Glossa recording draws on the humorous end of the Molière/Lully partnership in Monsieur de Pourceaugnac as well as more tragic airs from Psyché, by way of the trio grotesque from Charpentiers score for Le Mariage forcé. In Luanda Siqueira, Jean-François Lombard, Jérôme Billy and Virgile Ancely, Jérôme Correas has brought together a versatile vocal quartet, alive to the daunting and frequently crazy characterizations demanded by Lully and Molière.

Jean-Philippe Rameau: Les Fˆtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour

With Vieni, dolce Imeneo, La Compagnia del Madrigale make another important halt on their compelling journey across the territory of Italian secular song with a disc devoted to one of the most significant, yet these days somewhat bypassed, composers: Cipriano de Rore. de Rore was a Fleming who enjoyed great success notably in the Italian courts of Ferrara and Parma - but with a prestige which extended up and across Europe. He composed in many genres, but it is the secular madrigal - recorded here - where his skill was most valued, for example in creating extended and expressive melodic lines coupled with innovatory pre-echoes of the seconda pratica so triumphantly expressed - albeit amidst great criticism - by Claudio Monteverdi. Recordings - all also on Glossa - of madrigals by Marenzio, Gesualdo and Monteverdi have already demonstrated musical pleasures such as an uncommon vocal blend and delicacy, and a meticulous dynamic control exhibited by the richly-experienced members of La Compagnia del Madrigale, and those delights are to be experienced with these 19 madrigals by Cipriano de Rore, composed late in his career. With texts by Petrarch, Ariosto and assorted court poets for these madrigals, essay-writer Marco Bizzarini highlights one of the principal characteristic features of de Rore's mastery when he points to the disc's title track, Vieni, dolce Imeneo: the ideal union between poetry and music.

Vieni Dolce Imeneo

The imaginative musician that is harpsichordist Ignacio Prego directs a new selection of the concerti grossi by Charles Avison drawing inspiration from keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti. The Madrid-born Prego is alive to the variety of musical ideas embedded in these concertos - four of the concerti grossi "after Scarlatti" that Avison had published in 1744: each concerto, with the ensemble divided into concertino and ripieno groups, is a sequence of movements, the appealing, lively, melodious and playful contrasting with the slow, light, restful and contemplative. Added to Avison's inventiveness and freshness are Prego and his ensemble's creativity and sensitivity, especially in matters of ornamentation. Italian music had great popularity in Britain at the time and Avison himself had studied with Francesco Geminiani. Avison also rode the wave of the then-current "English cult of Domenico Scarlatti", adapting and transforming Scarlatti's Sonata ideas into his Grand Concertos and making them his own. Ignacio Prego and his new Spain-based ensemble Tiento Nuovo (led by Emmanuel Resche-Caserta) relish the Iberian influences pervading the concertos; these are peppered with folk-music references drawn in by Scarlatti across his more than three decades of travelling around Spain and Portugal with his patron María Bárbara de Braganza. The solo harpsichordist in Prego - Glossa issued a warmly-received set of the Bach Goldberg Variations - is put to stirring use with the inclusion of four Scarlatti keyboard sonatas.

Concerti Grossi

Gaetano Nasillo is one of the most renowned baroque cellist. He regularly collaborates as a soloist with the most prestigious European ensembles on historic instruments, among them Ensemble 415, Concerto Vocale, Zefiro, Le Concert des Nations, Ensemble Aurora, Gli Angeli, and performing with them in Europe, the USA, South America, Japan and Australia. On the current recording, Nasillo plays ten cello sonatas by Luigi Boccherini dating from his early period which were specifically created to showcase the composer's virtuoso performances on concert tours

The violinist Leila Schayegh has already impressively demonstrated her Bach expertise several years ago with her recording of the Sonatas BWV 1014-1019, which won the Diapason d'or de l'annee, the Editor's Choice and was also included in the prestigious Bestenliste der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Now she is venturing into Bach's "Sei solo", better known as "Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin", the monumental BWV 1001-1006 - this is THE solo benchmark violin music which is a must for every violinist, whether or not they specialize in historical performance practice. And here again, her approach and technical perfection are an impressive proof of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin by no means having been exhausted, yet, as new brilliant performers such as her will always shed new light on these wonderful pieces.

Al Alva Venid - Secular Music from the Spanish

With it's exotic dances and virtuoso Italian arias, "Le Carnaval de Venise" (1699) by André Campra is one of the most original experiments to be found in the entire French musico-dramatic output of the time. With this work at the latest, the composer gained the reputation of being the new master of French opera. Campra creates a colorful score in the Franco-Italian style for his ballet opera, which evokes the exuberant spirit of the legendary Venetian carnival in the middle of Paris. With this 2011 recording, Hervé Niquet and Le Concert Spirituel have added another gem to their collection of rediscovered operas from the 17th and 18th centuries. In this re-release, this jewel is finally available again on the market.

Pieces de Theorbe

In this album, the tenor Marco Angioloni pays homage to his two homelands Italy and France with a selection of pieces and songs that grasp the essence of the 20th century, from the period between the two wars to the 1950's. It brings together a repertoire from the operetta aria to classical and popular songs. "Each of these pieces resonates in my ears: I can still hear my mother and my grandmother humming them, in our Italian family fascinated by Paris. This selection reveals the great variety of styles and tastes of the period, from the supercharged ambiance of cabarets to the intimacy of Italian salons. Follow me through the narrow streets where colorful laundry is hung at the window, and onto the squares where the aroma of hot croissants wafts early in the morning - into the bustling atmosphere of my two countries." (Marco Angioloni)
