Yet, above all, he is a recorder player. Returning to his roots, he is releasing an unexpected new recording on the Alpha label, dedicated entirely to Renaissance music. Even in the 16th century, when divine order and rational harmony were paramount, chaos often threatened the human world, while unpredictable exuberance held a powerful allure for people. You’ll want to let yourself be swept away by Antonini’s carefully curated selection and order of pieces, drawn from a wide range of musical examples spanning from England to Italy. The accompanying booklet, packed with color illustrations (the Japanese edition includes a translation of the liner notes and a separate introduction by recorder player Kiichi Suganuma, who specializes in musicology in Basel), is a feast for the eyes, offering endless enjoyment as you unravel the subtleties of the program selection. This exhilarating new recording will captivate you with its Renaissance orchestra arrangement, featuring various recorders, a wooden cornet, and elegant period string instruments.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414267060513,"sku":"4589538739003","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538739003.jpg?v=1788096435","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538739003","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
