This recording is quite a treat! The blunt sensuousness depicted on the CD sleeve effectively prepares the listener for the strikingly luscious and constantly varied sound dominating the recording. The opening Sinfonia from Ballo delle ingrate makes it clear that the singers of I Fagiolini are supported by a first-class instrumental ensemble. |

The aim of the Piccola Accademia of Montisi, based in a medieval village at the top of a Tuscan hill, is to serve as a centre for musicians interested in the harpsichord as an instrument, as well as its repertoire and history. Its founders bemoaned the fact that historic harpsichords, often considered as museum pieces, are rarely played, and feared that musicians were losing touch with the authentic sound of original instruments. |

The Cheltenham Festival, founded in 1945, has from its inception encouraged creativity, young artists and performances of recent works, sometimes played by the composers themselves. This policy is still firmly in place, as the first weekend’s concerts of this year’s festival attest: the events of 5 and 6 July will feature works from the early repertoire revisited by uninhibited musicians. |
