Il Suonar ParlanteAbout
In these fantasias, normally performed by viol consorts or at the keyboard, Purcell shines and produces rich, bold harmonic effects and contrapuntal imitation. The polyphonic web of these short pieces also reminds one of the art of the Italian madrigalists, which Purcell had studied during his formative years at the Chapel Royal. Three years later, Purcell wrote another little cycle of 'Sonatas in three and four parts', dedicating them to the King.
So the year 1680 marks an important starting point for the future composer of royal odes for three different rulers, as well as anthems, masques, and his only opera, Dido and Aeneas.
Il Suonar Parlante:
- Vittorio Ghielmi (soprano viol, direction)
- Rodney Prada (tenor viol)
- Fahmi Alqhai (bass viol)
- Cristiano Contadin (great bass viol)
