La Governante Del Conte Annie West

O felici occhi miei marks a welcome first solo outing for lutenist Eduardo Eguez on Glossa, adding to the label's long succession of releases devoted to Italian Renaissance music. The poem behind this album's title refers to happiness and cruelty, harmony and discord, contrasts evoked by Eguez's programme which focuses on music by five leading Italian lutenists from the first half of the sixteenth century, Francesco Canova da Milano, Alberto da Ripa, Pietro Paolo Borrono, Giovanni Paolo Paladino and Perino Fiorentino. The work and lives of these composers were all mixed up in the Italian Wars (1494-1559) which will have overshadowed their compositional activities as much as their playing at those various courts embroiled in the conflict.

The only surviving version of Carlo Gesualdo’s First Book of Madrigals was printed in Spring 1594 by the typographer Vincenzo Baldini. At the time, the composer was twenty-eight years old and had just left behind the murder of his wife, in 1590. In this first publication Gesualdo probably collected pieces composed earlier than 1591. The music is written by a young author, far away from the better-known experimental composer of later years, yet is clear and faultless, and often very effective.

Una serie deslumbrante, en la gran tradición de la telenovela aventurera, llevada por un Convard en la cima de su arte y un imponente Thibert definitivamente como el nuevo maestro de la moderna línea Claire.

Con un aleteo, una mariposa que vuele en China puede provocar un tornado en Nueva York… En efecto, cada movimiento, por ínfimo que sea, provoca una cascada de consecuencias imprevisibles… Como especie llamada superior, el Hombre es el mayor propagador de caos.
