Free Music Review: Spanish Baroque Works: A Treasure
Hit: 5 Stars
Most classical music fans do not associate Spain with Baroque Era music, which was predominantly music of the German Protestant Johann Sebastian Bach, or the English George Frederic Handel and Henry Purcell, and the Italian bunch- Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Corelli. But Spain during the years of the Baroque period (1600-1750) had its own Baroque piece of the pie sort to speak. Some composers here are credited as anonymous while others were most likely composers of the Spanish court or popular folk music composers. This collection features a mix of elegant, soothing and lively music, mostly for guitar, harp and strings. The guitar (then called a lute or mandolin) is very dominant in this particular music. It is gorgeous to hear and the various court danzas are a pleasure to hear. The music sounds fresh and clear, and seems straight out of the past. The bailes were considered dances for the common folk, rustic dances, and are thus stripped of slow-moving grandeur and are fast-paced and ebullient pieces. This is a must have for fans of ancient music. I would even add this to your collection of Renaissance Music, Elizabethan music and or Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances.
Espaņoleta Poster
When most listeners think "Baroque," they probably don't consider the lively 17th-century dance music of Spain. But after hearing Chatham Baroque's Espaņoleta disc, you'll be hooked. The quartet--aided by the percussion of Danny Mallon and the harp of Becky Baxter--performs works by Diego Fernandez de Huete, Gaspar Sanz, and Ortiz, along with numerous anonymous composers. Though these compositions vary in style (the danzas were composed for nobility, while the bailes were bawdier numbers for the lower classes), they're musically similar and all are gorgeous. Chatham Baroque--Chatham College's Ensemble-in-Residence--perform these pieces with driving rhythms and a great melodic sensibility, and, unlike some early-music ensembles, they never sound clunky. For lovers of early music from Spain, this disc and Jordi Savall's Music from Christian and Jewish Spain should be required listening. --Jason VerlindeClassical Music CDs
