Benedetto Marcello - Sonates pour Flute

24 tracks - MP3 192 Kbp3 - RAR 97Mb


Uploaded - FileFactory



Les douze sonates pour flûte de l'op.2 (ici 6) sont parues en 1712 à Venise, reprises en 1715 à Amsterdam et en 1730 à Londres. Toutes ces sonates sont construites sur le moule de la sonata da chiesa (ou sonate d'église) en quatre, voire cinq mouvements, débutant par un mouvement lent et alternant épisodes graves ou méditatifs et vifs. Marcello se situe là dans la lignée de Corelli, dit « le prince des musiciens », qui illumina son temps et sut unir la tradition polyphonique et les exigences nouvelles de l'expression.

Bach Sons

7 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 650 Mb


The Bach family was of importance in the history of music for nearly two hundred years, with over 50 known musicians and several notable composers, the best-known of whom was Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). A family genealogy was drawn up by Johann Sebastian Bach himself and completed by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel. The Bach family never left Thuringia until the sons of Sebastian went into a more modern world. Through all the misery of the peasantry at the period of the Thirty Years' War this clan maintained its position and produced musicians who, however local their fame, were among the greatest in Europe. So numerous and so eminent were they that in Erfurt musicians were known as "Bachs", even when there were no longer any members of the family in the town.

Francesco Venturini - Concerti da Camera Op.1 (1714)

18 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 97Mb


Uploaded - FileFactory



Francesco Venturini probably owed his Italian family name to the Italianate fashion of the period, but his native region is thought to be Flanders, given that the baptismal register for his children describe him as Bruxellensis.
...In spite of the title ''concerti'' we are dealing here with an extensive collection of ''sonatas'' (a rather odd designation when the term ''suite'' would be more appropriate)...
...Venturini's music possesses all the qualities needed to captivate the listener. By turns nimble and dramatic, cheerful and serious, it invariably displays great refinement. Perfectly synthesising the different musical movements of the time, the composer devotes his subtle art to a quest for expressiviness, yet without thereby losing any of his spontaneity. The rediscover of his Concerti da Camera Op.1 is most certainly a significant event for our knowledge of the early eighteenth-century orchestral repertory....

The program is built around the theme of May Day, with a selection of songs on that subject and Spring in general. Performances frequently alternate texture, including the rather unusual choice of human birdcall ambience. The spoken literary introductions of Lescurel are also included for some songs. A wide range of sources are used to reconstruct text and melody, the perpetual issue of the troubadour repertory.

Joseph Bodin de Boismortier - Motets avec Symphonies


13 tracks - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 66Mb


Uploaded - FileFactory


contents:


Contains most of the surviving sacred music by Boismortier: one grand motet with trumpets and drums and 8 petits motets for soprano. Like J-M Leclair, some Boismortier movements are more purely Italian than anything I've heard by Rameau, Mouret, Mondonville or Royer. In particular, a da capo aria for soprano in the grand motet on this disk is not recognizably French. But for the French pronunciation of Latin, it could easily by mistaken for an aria by a leading Italian composer around the turn of the 18th Century. Unfortunately, the most popular sacred work by Boismortier in his own lifetime, a grand motet that was performed by the Concert Spirituel for 25 years, has not survived intact. The superb performance of the petits motets by Véronique Gens is one of the highlights of recorded French sacred music.

J.S.Bach - Christmas Oratorio

2 CD - MP3 192 Kbps - RAR 223 Mb




As you might expect, Herreweghe's account of the Christmas Oratorio is as authoritative as any. His orchestra and choir are lively but always precise and his soloists all excel. Most impressively, Herreweghe is able to marshal his impressive forces to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. The Christmas Oratorio isn't the most coherent of Bach's works, but Herreweghe brings it all together, not so much by imposing architecture as by maintaining the flow of the music and not letting any single movement stand out too much from its surroundings.

The general mood of this performance is surprisingly relaxed. Even from the outset, the solo timpani in the opening bars sound curiously flaccid, and the orchestral and choral textures that follow are warm and round rather than punchy and focussed. The use of such a large choir in a period performance is unusual, but their precision and agility more than justify the numbers.

The number of orchestral players is not given, but the string section also sounds relatively large. The wind soloists put in some great performances, but Herreweghe always makes sure that the obbligato lines are subservient to the solo voices. Marcel Ponseele plays first oboe, and with more restraint than on the Kuijken recordings. He also spends a fair proportion of the work playing oboe d'amore. It is great to hear a virtuoso performance on that unduly neglected instrument.

The vocal soloists form a well-matched group. In keeping with this relaxed performance, none is required to take anything to excess, giving the recitatives, and especially the arias, an almost conversational feeling of flow. The lion's share of the vocal work goes to Howard Crook as the Evangelist, and his light but characterful voice is ideal for the part. He often introduces solo numbers by the other singers and each time the timbral similarities between them make for an almost seamless transition. In any other context, these vocal performances could be criticised for lack of power and projection, but here the performances are ideal. Fans of Michael Chance and Peter Kooy might want to track this recording down for their performances. In 1989, both men were at the height of their powers, and Herreweghe makes sure he gets the best from both of them.

So why the relaxed tone in so much of this music? Well, by reducing the musical drama, Herreweghe is able to present the Oratorio as a more coherent entity. Also, the continuously celebratory major music that makes up so much of the work can get monotonous when presented in more boisterous recordings – introducing a sense of intimacy and poise creates more variety if nothing else. The recording also cleverly counters a range of stereotypes about the period performance movement. The idea that such ensembles are always small, always play fast and always go for spiky, angular sonorities, is countered by every aspect of this recording. The choir and orchestra are large, the tempos are relaxed, and the sound is warm. Herreweghe has plenty of austere period performance recordings to his name, but he is clearly open to other ideas as well.
