Barbican Quartet - Lux Intus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This is Volume 1 of Tempesta di Mare's two-disc project of late 17th c. French instrumental music. 'These 'Suites' contain some of the most tuneful, appealing and striking music of the period, this volume offering works by Lully, Marais, and Rebel. As a favored associate of King Louis XIV, Jean-Baptiste Lully was commissioned to compose a comedie-ballet for the visit of the Turkish ambassador in 1669. He composed music for Molière's play Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme; it's Turkish ceremony storyline occasioning music using colorful percussion and exotically flavored melodies. While Alcyone, a work of Lully pupil Marin Marais, is a tragic opera composed after Lully's death, Les elemens, by another Lully pupil, Jean-Fery Rebel, is a ballet, in which is portrayed each of the four elements during the chaotic, confusing creation of the world. Philadelphia's Tempesta di Mare was recently praised by Fanfare magazine for it's 'abundant energy, immaculate ensemble, impeccable intonation, and undeniable sense of purpose'.

As 1st prize winner of the 2022 ARD Music Competition, the Barbican Quartet is one of the most sought-after young string quartet formations. The internationally composed ensemble is now releasing it's debut album on GENUIN InchManifesto on LoveInch, with works by Leos Janacek and Robert Schumann. The contrast between Schumann's expansive musical lines and Janacek's nervous surfaces and ecstatic outbursts could not be greater - yet the Barbican Quartet unites them as expressions of human need for love, for togetherness. Two works of the most intimate musical genre played at a phenomenal level!
