This is another wonderful cd issued by Le Concert des Nations under Jordi Savall. I like the way these cds are often focused around a theme, music from the time of Charles V, or from Isabella's Castile. This one focuses on the Concert Spirituel cycle - concerts that could be performed during Lent and on other Catholic religious holidays.
Anne Danican Philidor, the son of King Louis XIV's music librarian, opened the series of concerts on 18 March 1725. While the music of these Concerts Spirituel would likely have been largely that of French composers, the music of other European masters such as Corelli, Geminiani, Telemann and Pergolesi were also represented. It is music from the time of King Louis XV, who reigned from 1725 to 1774 that is represented here. By 1790, after the French Revolution, Concerts Spirituel were no more.
Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713)
Concerto Grosso in D major, Op. 6, no. 4
Geroge Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
Overture (Suite) TWV 55:D6 in D major for viola da gamba, strings and basso continuo
Concerto TWV 5:a1 in A minor for recorder, viola da gamba, strings and basso continuo
Overture (Suite ) TWV 55:e1 in E minor for 2 flutes, strings and basso continuo
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) Les Indes Galantes
This is all wonderful music. Rameau's Les Indes Galantes in particular I find fascinating - premiered in 1735, this was an opera-ballet consisting of a prologue and four acts. The music is fresh and innovative. The Old World meets the New World in this work, and it is clearly perceivable in the music.
This is a great cd - the booklet accompanying gives a really in-depth overview of the music, the composers, the Concerts Spirituel themselves.... Read more ›
