1.The Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue -PJ Merola, Solo Marimba January 01, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details
This is a different feel from common bach interpretations, for it is subtle and relaxed. The marimba isn't a violin or a harpsichord, so it doesn't have the type of tension that performances on these instruments have...when I first listened to it, I found it to be very oddly different, but then quickly began to like it much, for it is such an interesting quality. The usage is elegent and the instrument is allowed to breathe in a way that others can't, making the counterpoint come out in original ways.

6.Sacred Songs of Sorrow by: Johann Erasmus Kindermann, Joseph-Hector Fiocco, David Schedlich, Christian Geist, Johann Christoph Bach, Johann Christian Fischer, Johann Michael Nicolai, Chapelle du Roi March 15, 2000

Add to the growing list of admirable recent recordings of seventeenth century German vocal music, this offering by the instrumental ensemble Charivari Agreable with tenor Rodrigo del Pozo. Consisting primarily of works by lesser known composers, this recording would deserve a place in the collection of lovers of this art regardless of the performances. Happily, these are first rate. Rodrigo del Pozo is new to me, and his voice is certainly hard to categorize. Never mind. He is a wonderfully senstive musician with great feeling for the texts and the style. The prominace of viols in the ensemble lends a generally dark tembre which is appropriate to the settings and which complements del Pozo's plaintive tone.

There is an excitement in finding a new composer and writing about it on this site. In this case, I found a double excitement in hearing this recording of harpsichord suites by Elixabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre (1664/65 -- 1729) on the Naxos label. First, this was my first experience with de la Guerre, even though, I found, she is reasonably well-represented on CD. Second, this CD includes de la Guerre's first set of harpsichord suites, composed in 1687, that were lost until recently. The CD also includes a subsequent set of harpsichord suites, composed in 1707. These latter suites also include an optional part for the violin, which is not included here. Elizabeth de la Guerre was a child prodigy who, as an adult, composed music in a variety of genres during the time of Louis ... Read More
