DIAPASON
D'OR DE L'ANÉE 2005 award to CANTICA SYMPHONIA!
An
important record recognition for the Ensemble
Cantica Symphonia, directed by the tenor Giuseppe
Maletto, "historic" voice of the Concerto Italiano
by Rinaldo Alessandrini and of the La Venexiana
by Claudio Cavina, and moreover one of the most
clever, refined, cultivated and expressive interpreters
of the Medieval and First Renaissance repertoire.
|
|
For QUADRIVIUM, the CD that marks the beginning
of the collaboration of the Italian group with the
Spanish label Glossa (GCDP31902), Cantica Symphonia
was bestowed of the Diapason d'or de l'année 2005,
received in Paris last November 9, at the Maison
de la Radio, from the Director of the famous magazine
that gives the price its name. |
|
With this production dedicated to the vocal sacred
music by Guillame Dufay (1397-1474), Maletto asserts
himself rightly as one of the most sensitive interpreters
of this repertoire. He succeeds in reconciling a
clear and philological adhesion to the text with
the same passion and perspicacity of the accomplished
vocalist full of such a sublime instinct. Maletto,
so skilled in managing a sharp orchestration, is
able to blend instruments and voices in such a convincing
and original way, far from banality and déjavu. |

HERMOSURAS
debuts in France
The
project Hermosuras - Beauties, translated from the
Spanish and the Sardinian languages - was born from
the title of a successful CD (5 stars on MUSICA,
Recomendado by CDCompact) by the Janas Ensemble
directed by Paola Erdas. Hermosuras is now a renewed
group of ancient music with whom the harpsichordist
made her debut in Lyon on December 15th, 2005, under
the aegis of the Italian Cultural Institute. |
| The
idea originates from the requirement to face a sixteenth
and seventeenth century repertoire with a viewpoint
centred on the historical deepening, in the widest
sense of the term, in an aesthetics that never loses
of sight the quest for the absolute beauty of the
sound, a subject Paola Erdas has always cared very
much about. |
|
A framing that goes from the Janas, the mythological
Sardinian fairies, to a wider horizon, a far-reaching
one, sweeping from Italy to France and Spain to
the rest of Europe. Paola avails herself of many
collaborators, among them : Lorenzo Cavasanti and
Dorothee Oberlinger (among the best recorder players
of their generation), the cellist Jorge Alberto
Guerrero, the soprano Lia Serafini, the theatre
and historical dance specialist Deda Cristina Colonna,
Antonio Fantinuoli, Marco Muzzati, Maurizio Less,
Fabio Accurso. |

TRIPLA
CONCORDIA focus on Telemann
After the success of the records dedicated to the
triosonate by Telemann for recorder (Stradivarius
STR33595CD with the oboist Alfredo Bernardini and
STR33685 with the violinist Fabio Biondi, both have
been given the 10 Classica/Repertoire prize, respectively
in July 2003 and in October 2004), the artistic
companionship among the musicians and the Hamburghese
genius continues with a series of concerts from
Pantelleria to Piedmont. They consolidate the |
|
collaboration between the Ensemble Tripla Concordia
( the recorder player Lorenzo Cavasanti, the cembalist
Sergio Ciomei and the cellist Caroline Boersma )
and the violinist Fabio Biondi, founder and leader
of Europa Galante (at present engaged as host conductor
of one of the most important European Symphonic
Institutions). Tripla Concordia is going to publish
a CD, always for Stradivarius, dedicated to Haendel,
another XVIIIth century great German composer and
a close friend of Telemann, apropos of companionship... |

Schumann, Niels W. Gade and Adolph Henselt.
Last October he has recorded a program of selected
piano works by Niels Gade ( among them the Sonata

Stainway piano, belonging to the collection of the
Accademia Pianistica of Imola. The CD will be published
in May 2006 by the label Pan Classics. Besides,
Edoardo Torbianelli goes on with his performer's
activity with his colleague, the virtuoso of historic

) and the international Symposium of clarinet in
Dresden. |
