Aquila Altera Ensemble - Laude Ballate Saltarelli & Villanelle - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Frémeaux & Associés presents the voices of 20 great French philosophers who embrace all currents of thought of the 20th century; existentialism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, religion, epistemology and morality. Each intervention of the philosopher is preceded by a commentary on his life, his work and his thought. Frédéric Worms wrote for InchLes Études PhilosophiquesInch (PUF) that this sum of recordings constituted Inchthe major contribution of sound archives to French intellectual heritageInch and the philosopher adds that the discs of this anthology should be in everyone's library. Reader of 20th century philosophy in France. (...) and to hope Inchthat the media, far from denying it, thus reconcile the thinking word, through individuals and works! Of this too we have, in these discs, a remarkable anthology. This book is the official commented version of the sound anthology of French thought.

With this recording, Federica Bianchi explores the development of music for keyboard instruments from the beginning of the 15th century to the dawn of the Baroque period. The earliest works originate from the famous Codex Faenza (c. 1400-1420), a manuscript of secular songs arranged for keyboard instrument by composers such as Jacopo da Bologna and Guillaume de Machaut. The earliest printed collection (1517), devoted exclusively to music for keyboard instruments, marks another milestone in this development. Later works on this album include arrangements of Renaissance hits such as Ancor che col partire. Federica Bianchi's exploration of this repertoire takes her to the toccatas of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Federica Bianchi plays this repertoire on three instruments built after historical models a clavicymbalum after a design from the first half of the 15th century and two harpsichords after Italian models from the 16th and 17th centuries.
