Schale / Chiarizia - 5 Harpsichord Sonatas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With this album we wanted to fill the lack of recordings devoted to the Belgian XVIII Century keyboard repertoire. Belgian music, taking inspiration from the French style, is likewise significant from the musicological point of view. (Luigi Chiarizia) Luigi Chiarizia, harpsichordist, organist and composer, was born into a family of artists and began to study music at the age of six. He was able to learn from his impressive teachers while at the same time maintaining his own personal musical style and interpretation. He graduated with honors in organ and organ composition at the Pescara Conservatory of music and by the age of nineteen he debuted for I Solisti Aquilani and at twenty five he had already appeared in over eighty concerts. He has studied at the l'Università di Paleografia e Filologia Musicale and, after a few years had won a bursary to study at Accademia Musicale Chigiana di Siena. He continued to hone his skills with Christophe Rousset and, later on, with Leonhardt, Tagliavini, Stembridge and Baiano. He was organist at S. Agata in Cremona and subsequently in S. Stefano in Tesserete (Ticino). He is the author of twenty transcriptions, an anthology of music composition, and eight books of compositions.

J.S. Bach's first biographer Johann Forkel numbered Johann Gottfried Muthel (1728-88) among the most remarkable of Bach's pupils, while Charles Burney ranked Muthel's works as among 'the greatest productions of the present age.'; The composer's five keyboard and strings concertos, distinctly individual, displaying sophisticated rhythms and harmonic playfulness, typify his era's straddling between the Baroque and Viennese Classicism. The young Polish harpsichordist Marcin is supported by his acclaimed period band compatriots, Arte dei Suonatori, on his BIS debut.
