Description:
[The world of double-reed instruments from days gone by comes vividly to life! A rich compilation album unique to Ricercar] Ricercar, with a 40-year history, is led in Belgium—a powerhouse of early music—by musicologist Jérôme Legneau, whose expertise extends to the Baroque and Renaissance periods preceding Bach. This label has periodically released albums focusing on rare early instruments that are less familiar to modern audiences, and this latest release showcases the appeal of the bombarde and the dulcian—two important double-reed wind instruments used from the Renaissance through the early Baroque period. The bombarde is a type of shawm and can be considered an ancestor of the oboe; like the viola da gamba and the recorder, it comes in various sizes and is suitable for ensemble playing. Similarly, the dulcian—a low-pitched wind instrument and predecessor to the bassoon—also had variants within the same family, such as those for high and medium registers. In this new recording, the two instruments are sometimes layered together as members of the same family, and at other times juxtaposed within the same piece; their versatile ensemble arrangements create a fascinating sound, adding to the enjoyment of listening to the album from start to finish. As is often the case with such albums, the comprehensive liner notes are also not to be missed. There are also many arrangements—typical of the period around 1600—that adapt polyphonic vocal works such as madrigals and chansons for instrumental performance, and the contrast with the solo passages performed by two brilliant early music singers at key moments never ceases to captivate. A collection of expert insights guides the listener into an unexpected world of sound. This album allows you to thoroughly explore the authentic soundscape of 400 years ago. Naxos Japan
