At the beginning of the 16th century Nuremberg (“The spider in the web”) was a northern European centre in which many threads of international music life came together. Early on Nuremberg had established itself as a centre of book printing. The first printing-offices that occupied themselves seriously with the printing of music, however, were those of Hieronymus Formschneider and Johannes Petreius. Most of the pieces on this recording are taken from these collections of three-part music. They contain international repertoire, including old masterworks such as Caecox and Tandernaken by Alexander Agricola, but also arrangements of German folk songs and ballads, as well as French compositions and more recent Italian forms. |

Collection: Traditional
Theodora Baka (born in Larissa, Greece) has been familiar with the traditional songs of her homeland since she was a child. The singer is accompanied by an unusual formation (’ud, lyre, and zarb) that underscores the songs’ remote, southern timbre. Her versatile voice celebrates in song the old legends and myths of her homeland, laments the lost freedom of a young bride, and converses with a lover. The yearning sound of Baka’s voice is captivating.

Mit »Jardin de Plaisance« ist die erste CD der schola cantorum basiliensis edition bei Raumklang erschienen. In dieser Reihe werden viel versprechende junge Musiker und Ensemble vorgestellt, die an der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis ihre Ausbildung erhalten haben. Gleichzeitig werden spannende Programme abseits der Hauptstraßen der Alten Musik repräsentiert. Die Musiker-Generation nach Guillaume Dufay und Gilles Binchois begann um 1450 mit neuen Kompositionstechniken zu experimentieren, die zu einem sehr fortschrittlichen und eigenständigen Repertoire von weltlichen Liedern führten. Gesammelt und überliefert wurden diese Werke nach 1460 in mehreren Handschriften aus Kreisen des französischen Hochadels. Das junge Basler Ensemble La Morra präsentiert eine Anthologie dieser höchst verfeinerten Kunst instrumentalen und vokalen Musizierens in der Frische und Unmittelbarkeit eines »Gartens der Freude«. Eine Koproduktion von Raumklang, Schweizer Radio DRS2 und der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. |

Unter den Herzögen von Valois wurde Burgund im 15. Jahrhundert zu einer der mächtigsten politischen Kräfte Westeuropas und seine Hauptstadt Dijon ein Zentrum der Musik. Was hier erklang, war so innovativ und eigenständig, dass man heute von einer »Burgundischen Schule« spricht. Gleichwohl kamen die Musiker der Burgundischen Hofkapelle aus allen Himmelsrichtungen - unter ihnen Guillaume Du Fay, einer der größten Meister nicht nur seiner Zeit, sondern der Musik generell. Geehrt für seine Melodien von kunstvoller Anmut, begabt mit einem einzigartigen Instinkt für die harmonische Balance der musikalischen Phrasen, galt er als jemand, der die Sphären der Vollkommenheit der musikalischen Kunst seiner Zeit erreichte.
Die drei "Triste Plaisir"-Musiker haben sich eigens zusammengefunden für dieses Repertoire voll von Raffinesse, großzügiger Gesanglichkeit und jener süßen Melancholie, welche den Meisterwerken der spätmittelalterlichen Liedkunst eigentümlich ist. Entgegen der gängigen Praxis versuchen sie mit minimalster Besetzung - nur Stimme und zwei Streichinstrumente - der Intimität dieser Kleinodien gerecht zu werden. |

Michael Form (recorder), Rebeka Rusó (treble & bass viol), Dolores Costoyas (theorbo), Dirk Börner (harpsichord)
Jacques Martin Hotteterre’s compositions are among the most substantial works of French chamber music from the early 18th Century. The two volumes of Pieces pour la flûte-traversiere have particular significance within his wide-ranging œuvre, much of which reveals didactic intent. Never before had a musical language of such expressiveness and sublime intimacy been realised in composition for a wind instrument. Aside from this multifaceted suites, the Airs et brunettes -with a bounty of original ornamentation- and the Sonates en trio -based on Arcangelo Corelli’s triosonatas- provide a particularly good impression of Hotteterre’s stylistic diversity. Michael Form has chosen the recorder for the interpretation of Hotteterres flute music. Alternative arrangements were of course a welcome means of ensuring a wider dissemination of musical works - and a common practice among composers of the time. For the majority of the suites which descend below the range of the treble recorder in f’, Michael Form decide to use a flûte de voix in d’ -with his warm timbre this instrument gives the pieces a special charm. Contenu: Les compositions de Jacques Hotteterre font partie des plus riches œuvres de musique de chambre française des premières décennies du 18ème siècle. Au sein de son œuvre variée, les deux tomes des Pièces pour la flûte traversière tiennent une place à part, également sous des aspects didactiques. Jamais auparavant, une langue sonore aussi expressive, aussi sublime de ferveur, ne fut inventée pour un instrument à vent. Au-delà de cettes suites aux nombreuses facettes, les Airs et brunettes (croulant sous les ornements originaux) ainsi que les Sonates en trio (prenant appui sur les sonates en trio d’Arcangelo Corelli) offrent une bonne impression de la diversité stylistique de Hotteterre. Pour interpreter cette musique Michael Form a choisi la flûte à bec. Pour les suites qui descendent en-dessous du registre de la flûte à bec alto en fa’ - presque toutes -, Michael Form a décidé d’utiliser une flûte de voix en ré’. Avec son doux timbre cet instrument donne la musique une charme exeptionelle. |

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck is one of the principal composers in the 16th- and 17th-century Holland. As far as we know, Sweelinck only left Holland on one time. Nevertheless his works show Italien/Venetian influences, English/virginalist elements and knowledge of spanish composers. The growing cultural importance of Amsterdam in Sweelinck´s day probalbly explain his knowledge of contemporary European music. At the beginning of the 17th century, many organists travelled not only from Germany but also Poland and Sweden to Amsterdam to study under the famous Sweelinck. Later his Hamburg pupils Heinrich Scheidemann and Jacob Praetorius founded a sort of ‘Sweelinck outpost’ in Hamburg. They passed on their pupils what they have learned in Amsterdam. Léon Berben plays the pieces of Sweelincks und his pupils brilliantly at St. Jaque’s Church in Liège. This organ was reconstructed in the style of the late 16th century, following Sweelinck´s large organ in Amsterdam. RK 2205 | edition raumklang | Total: 67:32 |

Subcollection: Lute
Johann Sebastian Bach himself did not play the lute. Could his lute music really have been played on the lute as specified - or was it intended all along for a lute harpsichord of the type found in Bach`s estate? Two of the suites of this recording are expressly stated „pour la Luth“ or „pour la luth o cembal“. However, some notes were not feature of the common solo instrument of the era, the 13-string lute with a D minor tuning. Axel Wolf performs Bach`s lute music on a 14-string archlute, a theorbo lute - an instrument which could well have been played by one of the Italians employed at the court orchestra in Dresden. This recording is full of tranquility and intimacy found by Axel Wolf prior to the recording in the little Johann Sebastian Bach.
Axel Wolf studied the guitar and lute under Hans Michael Koch. After attending master classes held by Nigel North and Hopkinson Smith, he also studied under Rolf Lislevand. Since completing his degree course in the guitar in 1986, Axel Wolf has taught at Hanover Academy of Music and Theatre. In 1988 he teamed up with Simone Nill (recorder) and Robert Sagasser (viola da gamba)to form the ensemble La Sfondrata. Four years later, La Sfondrata won a prize at the Festival of Early Music in Utrecht. Axel Wolf played the lute in a number of wellknown ensembles such as Musica Fiata (Cologne), Ars Antiqua Austria, and the London-based Gabrieli Consort &Players. Axel Wolf has appeared at numerous international festivals,including inBoston, Bruges, New York and Tel Aviv. Axel Wolf is a frequent guest at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, performing under the baton of Harry Bicket and Ivor Bolton. He has also worked with conductors such as Peter Schreier, PaulMcCreesh,Lajos Rovatkay and Alan Curtis on opera, concert and CD productions. village church in Polditz/Saxony RK 2203 | edition raumklang | Total: 74:45 |
