Bach: Six Concertos for the Margrave of Brandenburg

Johann Sebastian Bach

Classical - Released December 18, 2007 | Avie Records

Distinctions 5 de Diapason
After recording J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos to near perfection with the English Concert in 1982, it might seem redundant for Trevor Pinnock to try his hand at them again in this 2007 set with the European Brandenburg Ensemble. Allowing for certain variables of interpretation and execution between the two versions, which should be expected at a remove of 25 years, one can still expect Pinnock to turn in elegant period readings that don't diverge too dramatically from his earlier recordings on Archiv. On this exquisite set, released by Avie -- a label that lets its artists take creative risks that many major labels won't -- Pinnock explores the Brandenburgs with considerable freedom and inventiveness, particularly in adjusting the size of his ensemble according to acoustical needs, and in his employment of musicians from several different countries and performing backgrounds. To the trained ear, these concertos have a slightly darker coloration, due to the tuning at A415, and some experts may detect where the high- or low-tone violones are used in substitution for the standard cello or double bass. Yet to most listeners, these performances won't sound experimental or daring, since the changes are wholly appropriate to the Baroque era, when instrumentation and other practices varied in almost every performance. Yet in terms of expression, this set may seem a little richer, warmer, and a bit more relaxed than its predecessor, and the ensemble's presence is almost palpable in the close-up, highly detailed reproduction. Anyone who already owns the earlier recordings may feel this attempt is "gilding the lily," but Pinnock's second traversal of the Brandenburgs is definitely worth hearing, and is highly recommended to others who need a terrific version, by any standard.© TiVo

Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 6

Accademia Bizantina

Classical - Released November 11, 2022 | Hdb Sonus

Hi-Res Booklet
The vigour and richness of the Concerto grossi, Op. 6, which Handel based on Corelli’s model, seems to have dictated this full-bodied and highly structured performance by the Accademia Bizantina (directed by Ottavio Dantone). Their vision isn’t some long, quiet road; rather, the listener is taken on a journey, discovering varied landscapes as they travel an often arid and meandering path.The Italian baroque conductor and harpsichordist has been delighting musicophiles during his time as head of the Accademia Bizantina, founded in Ravenna, for over thirty years. Alongside a number of others, he’s contributed to many musical discoveries and to a standard of interpretation which today’s music lovers have become accustomed to. Always looking to uncover new scores, Ottavio Dantone maintains contact with European libraries through his appointed musicologist, Bernardo Ticci, whom he claims is ‘a real truffle hunter’.His in-depth knowledge of Handel’s operas led him to examine the Concerto grossi, Op. 6, in great detail. He says that these ‘extraordinary pages are dear to my heart, and I have approached them with all the meticulousness I’m known for’. This diligence is perceptible throughout the twelve Concerti grossi, which display a skilful blend of Nordic earnestness and Mediterranean joy. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Le Concert des Oiseaux. Vincent Bouchot: Le Carnaval des animaux en péril

La Rêveuse

Classical - Released February 10, 2023 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
Several famous pieces of music based on birdsong appeared in the 19th and 20th centuries; those by Saint-Saëns, Britten, and Ravel are here, although Messiaen is not. However, the affinity between music and birdsong had been explored for centuries before that, and the early music group La Rêveuse here provides some delightful examples. The always pictorial François Couperin is represented, as is Rameau, but other composers are less familiar but no less charming. Sample the works by Theodor Schwartzkopff, Michel Blavet, and especially Michel Pignolet de Montéclair (1667-1737), whose "Les Ramages" ("The Songs") names a group of birds and then illustrates their songs. Then there are historical-instrument versions of Saint-Saëns, Britten, and Ravel. One may accept this idea or not, but even in the latter case, they don't do much to dent the charm of the whole. The program ends with a work by contemporary composer Vincent Bouchot, Le Carnaval des animaux en péril, a kind of a take-off on Saint-Saëns for the Anthropocene era that also calls forth a striking variety of instruments from La Rêveuse. Another questionable idea is that, in keeping with the practices of this group, recorded birdsong is heard between some of the tracks. Whatever aspects of this release might be doubtful, it rarely fails to bring a smile. © James Manheim /TiVo

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Giuseppe Tartini : Concertos & Sonates

Mira Glodeanu

Classical - Released March 19, 2021 | Hitasura

Hi-Res Booklet
Giuseppe Tartini and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, virtuosi, aesthetes and almost philosophers, are two eighteenth century composers of considerable importance. As much admired as respected in their time, they were to open up definitive new paths and were to become precursors of note. Their captivating inventiveness offers us the opportunity to discover in their compositions a wealth of nuance. Their works represent for us in our time inexhaustible reserves of discoveries to be made and emotions to be relished. Placed within the context of dialogue, Tartini and C. P. E. Bach appear as two poles; their methods, as differing as possible, converging with precision towards the same generous goal… moving us, to the very core. © Hitasura

Francesco Venturini: Concerti

La Festa Musicale

Classical - Released February 5, 2021 | audite Musikproduktion

Hi-Res Booklet
The Concerti of the violinist-composer Francesco Venturini (c.1675-1745) are a real discovery - melodious, virtuosic, elegant and dance-like, combining Italian and French stylistic elements to form a "mixed taste", as Telemann described this "mélange". Inspired by the pulsating cultural and intellectual life at the Hanoverian court, Venturini wrote ambitious orches­tral music full of joie de vivre, defined by numerous concertato passages for both wind and string instruments. His works feature a rich diversity of - sometimes unusual - colours: as his concerto soloists, he chooses not only combinations of one or two oboes, recorders and violins, but also two bassoons and two cellos, or even an oboe, two recorders and violin - the latter being a combination reminiscent of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos which were to be written a few years later. The release marks the beginning of the collaboration between audite and la festa musicale. The ensemble presents a representative cross section of Venturini's instrumental music: three orchestral suites from Opus 1, which was already published in print during his lifetime, as well as two discoveries from Swedish music collections; three works are presented as first recordings (Op. 1 No. 2, Ouverture à 5, Concerto à 6). The North German baroque ensemble la festa musicale stands for first rate artistic level, which is reflected in creative, interdisciplinary concert formats and top-class collaborations. The interpretations intensify the colourfulness of the works by means of instrumentation variations beyond the original score, in line with the common practice in the Baroque period, as well as by additional effects such as the use of percussion instruments. Two further audite productions with la festa musicale are already being planned. © Audite
