If you like attractive, expertly performed music for plucked strings, then these original compositions and arrangements of Italian renaissance works for chitarrone, chitarra spagnola (five-course Spanish guitar), and arpa doppia (double harp) will surely delight. Every work here is pleasant and tuneful--a few even aspire to greater musical heights. Frescobaldi's Partite Sopra Passacalgli, for example, benefits from Stephen Stubbs and Maxine Eilander's arrangement, which, while sacrificing a measure of the harpsichord's original edge, nonetheless heightens the chromaticism and texture of the evolving fugue. Stubbs' dramatic and evocative gestures anticipating the development of jacaras and flamenco that conclude Francesco Corbetta's Partie de Chaconie likewise spice up the program. The longest work offered, an arrangement of Giovanni Battista Granata's lovely Sonata di chitarra, may be short on originality, but it's melodically rich and guaranteed to charm. Atma's sound is very good--clear and detailed, with natural instrumental timbres and full-bodied presence. --John Greene, ClassicsToday.com |
