Justin Taylor (Harpsichord) And Le Concert Des Nations.

Description:

French harpsichordist Justin Taylor, who has made two successful tours in Japan and has been making waves in the ancient music scene of the 2020s in Japan, will be joined by William Christie and the up-and-coming baroque violinist Théotime Langlois de Svart, as well as a new generation of virtuosos in a fresh, elastic formation. The French harpsichordist, Justin Taylor, has been performing with William Christie and the up-and-coming baroque violinist, Théotime Langlois de Svart, as well as a new generation of virtuoso musicians. The latest release on the ALPHA label is an album set in late Baroque England, where opera became popular soon after the young Handel's successful arrival in Italy at the beginning of the 18th century. The reason was that by that time, Italian musicians had gained a reputation for their skills in London.The album features works by Matteis, a violin virtuoso who came to London from Naples in the late 17th century, small works by Purcell, whose generation was greatly influenced by Italian trio sonatas, and two collections of works published in London with Italian titles under the pen name "Filarmonica" (Mrs. Philarmonica) during Handel's arrival in England. The program is full of ups and downs, and captures the Italian fervor of the English people around 1700. The beautiful English music, composed with as much elegance as either of them, contrasts exquisitely with the passionate sounds of Matteisse's compositions. The harmony of precision and passion in Le Consort's performance brings back to life the vibrancy of the world 300 years ago, when the spirit of the English metropolis and the musicians of the South stimulated each other, and the engineering of Hugues Deschaux, a gifted engineer who has a keen sense of the flavor of ancient instruments, allows us to clearly appreciate this.
