Folia - Attitudes - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The InchFoliaInch was a popular dance born in the Iberian Peninsula in the 15th century. The meaning of InchfoliaInch being InchmadnessInch, it is documented that in it's early days it was a fast, ecstatic dance. Both a harmonic structure and a melody (developed a bit later), the InchFoliaInch evolved until in the Baroque it was formalized into a standard chord progression and melodic line, often developed in the form of variations. In this 2-album set, we present many versions of the InchFoliaInch recorded over the years by artists belonging to the Note 1 group of labels Paolo Pandolfo, Jose Miguel Moreno, Lina Tur Bonet, Enrico Gatti, Leila Schayegh or Sigiswald Kuijken all make their appearance in music from the Renaissance and Baroque. Among the represented composers we can find Marin Marais, Arcangelo Corelli, Gaspar Sanz or Antonio Vivaldi. Have a lot of fun with these 140 minutes of madness!

Sebastian Bohren's new album La folia is an affectionate homage -to Ida Haendel, one of his heroes; to fiddlers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and to the violin itself. The Swiss violinist says, InchIt is also like a hall of mirrors, as some tracks invoke the spirits of two or three violinists.Inch From an early age, Sebastian was immersed in a lineage of violinists who favored Romantic transcriptions of Baroque repertoire, studying with a pupil of the great Ukrainian-born violinist Nathan Milstein. Later in life, he fell under the influence of violinist Ida Haendelon YouTube, watching her perform Corelli's La folia variations. InchShe played this amazing virtuoso cadenza, and I was captivated. InchSo arose the concept of a program reflecting the ethos of La folia, the ear-catching theme which has fascinated composers for centuries, from the Baroque era's Tomaso Antonio Vitali and Giuseppe Tartini to latter-day Ottorino Respighi and Fritz Kreisler. Sebastian captures the sound world with sincerity, playing on two different violins, the 1710 InchKing GeorgeInch Stradivarius, and a Guadagnini made in 1761.
