XVII-wieczna muzyka na arcylutnię i mezzo-sopran

Recenzent BBC Music Magazine napisał o Thomasie Dunfordzie "Eric Clapton lutni". Kolosalna wirtuozeria Dunforda i szlachetny głos Anny Reinhold pozwalają nam w pełni docenić piękno zbioru ośmiu toccat włoskiego mistrza, rówieśnika Johna Dowlanda - Giovanniego Girolamo Kapsbergera. Kompozycje te po raz pierwszy zostały opublikowane w pierwszej księdze lutniowych tabulatur Kapsbergera w 1611 roku.
Program płyty pomyślany został w podobny sposób, jak konstruuje się programy koncertów, dodatkowo na płycie usłyszymy, jako kontekstowe uzupełnienie kompozycje Barbary Strozzi, Giulio Cacciniego, Claudio Monteverdiego i Tarquinio Meruli.

Wyśmienity duet Dunforda i mezzo-sopranistki Anny Reinhold, pełen świeżości i energii, uświadamia nam, jak wiele skarbów pozostaje nadal nieodkrytych w wielkim repertuarze barokowym.

Editor's info:
The ‘Eric Clapton of the lute’ (BBC Magazine) comes back to the Alpha microphones, this time with the soprano Anna Reinhold. Here, Thomas Dunford applies his truly prodigious virtuosity to the eight Toccatas from the first book by Meister Kapsberger, giving us a veritable concert such as the composer himself might have proposed with, in counterpoint to the toccatas, a few of the loveliest airs by Caccini, Merula et al.

The beauty of Anna Reinhold’s voice (a young talent noticed especially in William Christie’s ‘Jardin des voix’) has a freshness and energy that bring to mind the young performers at work in Alpha’s earliest recordings. This goes to prove that there still remains much distance to cover in the discovery of Baroque art.

A superlative program of lute songs by John Dowland, reviewed this spring in live concert, brought together countertenor Iestyn Davies and lutenist Thomas Dunford (also recorded for Hyperion). Today sees the release of a similar program, this time focused on the Italian lutenist-composer Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger, who was born a generation after Dowland, uniting Dunford with mezzo-soprano Anna Reinhold. The meat of the program features Dunford, on an archlute, in sensitively phrased renditions of the eight

In the booklet, along with the informative essay by scholar Alessio Ruffati (and English translations in need of another editor's pass), Dunford acknowledges the guidance of lutenist Paul O'Dette, who has recorded the Kapsberger works for lute, and Hopkinson Smith. One could also mention William Christie and Les Arts Florissants, whose training program for young artists was where Dunford and Reinhold crossed paths. Where the program with Davies was focused on the rarefied, contained sound of his voice, Reinhold uses a somewhat broader edge to her tone, to give a greater scope to the dynamic contrasts of the airs. Since Kapsberger is remembered, quite justly, more as a lutenist than as a vocal composer, the program is sprinkled with vocal selections by composers who knew better what to do with a voice, including Giulio Caccini, Claudio Monteverdi, Barbara Strozzi, and Tarquinio Merula -- the last's Canzonetta spirituale sopra Alla Nanna, a rather gorgeous lament-cum-lullaby sung by the Virgin Mary to the Christ child, turning the amorous tone of the recording in a different direction. The acoustic of the recording space, the Chapelle de l’Hôpital Notre-Dame de Bon Secours in Paris, is resonant and captured in exquisite sound.
