Telemann / Nakagawa - Six Overtures for Harpsichord - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

About this product
Telemann was among the most admired and prolific of composers and his compositions encompass virtually all genres and instrumentations known in his lifetime. The 'Six Ouvertures,' strangely neglected for many years, reveal his inventive and imaginative writing for solo harpsichord. They contain elements that suggest an amalgam of French and Italianate influences, whether 'ouverture-suite' or three-movement concerto or sonata. Also evident, in the central movements, is Telemann's preference for Polish folk music, of whose 'true barbaric beauty' he was an ardent admirer. Gaku Nakagawa was born in 1993 in Japan. He began playing piano at the age of four, and in 2012 entered the University of Tokyo to study philosophy. Without ever having a harpsichord lesson, he became the first prize winner of the 27th YAMANASHI, Japan, international competition for early music in 2014. This is his debut recording.

That a harpsichord can be so sensual, bursting with life, and even humorous as in Anke Dennert's GENUIN solo debut (following two ensemble productions) is certainly a rarity - even given that the times when these instruments were disparagingly referred to as dry-as-dust egg slicers belong to the distant past... Anke Dennert plays music by the venerable Georg Philipp Telemann, who - as we learn with pleasure upon listening to this recording - was in reality not as venerable as all that; with an astonishing wealth of nuances, the harpsichordist offers a splendid rendition of the Hamburg master's Polish, pastoral, Latin, and above all sumptuous delicacies on her one-of-a-kind, 300-year-old instrument. A discovery for connoisseurs and lovers of Baroque music! Album Tracks 1. I. Ouverture 2. II. Larghetto E Scherzando 3. III. Allegro 4. I. Ouverture 5. II. Largo E Scherzando 6. III. Presto 7. I.

Selected from the 1578 Obras de Musica published by blind keyboard master Antonio de Cabezon's son Hernando, these glosas enrich the vast resource of Renaissance vocal music through variation and elaboration. Extra layers of polyphony and ornament crystallize the tradition of improvisation on pre-existing works, both in the splendour of the sacred, and in chansons and madrigals with more secular emotions. Antonio de Cabezon's Tientos y Glosados can be heard on Naxos 8.554836, and Glen Wilson's acclaimed recording of his complete Tientos and Variationsis on 8.572475-76. Album Tracks 1. Ayme Qui Vouldra 2. Sana Me Domine 3. Prenez Pitie 4. Je File Quand Dieu Me Donne de Quoi 5. Ultimi Miei Sospiri 6. Osanna 7. Au Joli Bois Sur la Verdure 8. Pis Ne Peult Me Venir 9.
