19th CENTURY Collecting and ordering this anthology of pastorales has been like embarking on a journey–by carriage, of course–through the provinces of nineteenth-century Italy. In the background, churches and theatres blend to create an unmistakable landscape of sound, a summary of images evoking this period of Italian organ music. It is a voyage undertaken for the purpose of gathering together the emotions of a new ferment which was sweeping through the peninsula. This new fashion, uniting the musical traditions of Christmas with a new romantic sentiment, led musicians to mix classical and folk elements, high brow and low, in order to give the music a language of universal comprehensibility. A sky on a starry night, pierced by the traditional comet, painted on a backdrop hung behind the wings, assures that the nocturnal magic of Christmas lives on despite the contradiction (exemplary for the period) between nature and representation. Equally irresolvable is the contradiction between the sound of the organ and that of the typical instruments of the Christmas tradition (unequivocal model of the pastorale genre), but this contradiction is resolved by the need to reiterate the Good Tidings each year in the right setting in order to restore its message of wonder and simplicity. And so I think the best way to listen to these pieces is to imagine a series of stories or tableaus or miniatures which bear witness and discreetly provide us with a view of Italy from that time, slowly scratched with a quill on thick and yellow paper. Our guide will be the rediscovered sounds of a Serassi organ, built by a family of artisans who captured the sonorous ideal of the nineteenth-century Italian organ, with its extroverted but classical ripieno, its noble and rustic reeds, its exquisitely sweet basses... read more

Bach - Violin Concertos: Rachel Podger, Brecon Baroque 5.0 out of 5 stars   Back to Bach! ,  October 17, 2010 By  Andres  Sender  (N. CA, USA) This review is from:  Bach: Violin Concertos (Audio CD) For those who already appreciate Rachel Podger's unique brand of magic I'll just say that this return to recorded Bach is lovely and all that one could hope for. All that one looks for is here, and there is more. For those who are not familiar with Rachel Podger, she is a unique voice among violinists. She has absorbed the principles of late Baroque performance practice and made them a part of herself, so that the articulation and inflection of that rhetorical approach to music flows from her as a natural idiom of expression. But this is only h
