Info for Seicento stravagante: Music for Cornetto & Keyboard

Wie kann man Gefühle durch Musik ausdrücken, in der keine Worte vorkommen? Dieses Album versucht, eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu geben. Anhand von Werken italienischer Komponisten aus dem späten 16. und frühen 17. Jahrhundert demonstrieren die beiden Mitglieder von Seicento Stravagante, David Brutti und Nicola Lamon, die extravaganten Stile der frühen Barockmusik. In den Jahrzehnten um 1600 wurde die Dominanz der menschlichen Stimme und des Textes durch die unbändige Fantasie der Komponisten/Instrumentalisten ersetzt, die es den Instrumenten erlaubten, selbst zu sprechen" und nicht nur einen gesungenen Text zu unterstützen.

Zunächst wurde die Polyphonie des ursprünglichen Vokalstücks lediglich durch Verzierungen ergänzt, um das Fehlen des Textes zu kompensieren, doch später, als die Grenzen zwischen Vokal- und Instrumentalmusik fließend wurden, verwandelten sich die Gesangslinien in virtuose Instrumentalsoli. Im dritten Jahrzehnt des 17. Jahrhunderts entwickelten Komponisten und Interpreten einen neuen, eigenständigen Instrumentalstil, der es ihnen ermöglichte, komplizierte Polyphonie, tänzerische Passagen und emotional aufgeladene musikalische Phrasen frei zu kombinieren. Brutti spielt diese Auswahl von Werken, die zwischen 1584 und 1650 veröffentlicht wurden, auf drei verschiedenen Arten von Cornetto, während Lamon abwechselnd eine Cembalo-Kopie von 1681 und nicht weniger als zwei historische Orgeln von 1578 bzw. 1660 spielt.
