With the new release Essays, the ensemble Music for a while continue its journey of interpreting centerpieces of the classical song canon. Together with the albums Graces that refrain (2012) and Canticles of Winter (2014), Essays completes a trilogy dedicated to interpretations of classical music. Essays is the band's 4th studio album, with songs written over three centuries, between 1614 and 1911, from the baroque masters of Monteverdi, Rameau and Charpentier, to the romantic era of Schumann, Brahms, Grieg and Fauré. The songs on the album are sung in French, Italian, German and Norwegian, as well as in English in two songs by Elgar and Engel.

Since her early success in Glyndebourne’s now famous production of Handel’s Giulio Cesare, Danielle de Niese has become most closely associated with the music of the Baroque. The New York Times commented: “A voice seductive enough to woo gods as well as mortals”.

There’s not much cruelty, corruption or ruthlessness in Arleen Auger’s exquisitely sung portrayal of the manipulative Poppea, but this hardly detracts from her otherwise radiantly expressive performance. This welcome reissue is not just exhilaratingly played by the City of London Baroque Sinfonia with a spareness and verve that keeps the drama taut, but impressively cast. James Bowman is an elegantly spurned Ottone; Gregory Reinhart a noble Seneca; and the wonderful Della Jones a spirited, quite convincingly masculine Nero. The only snag is Linda Hirst’s unlovely, rather hectoring Ottavia; it doesn’t do, somehow, to sympathise with Nero’s decision to dump her.

The central question was always about how much needs to be added to the surviving notes in order to make Poppea viable on stage. Gardiner and his advisers believe that nothing needs adding and that the 'orchestra' played only when explicitly notated in the score and was a very small group.

Genre: Classical / Label: Rondeau Production

This first complete recording of the rarely performed Naples version of Claudio Monteverdi‘s L‘incoronazione di Poppea examines the familiar story about love, seduction and power from a new perspective, and enthrals with its passion and gusto. Both the music and text differ from the earlier, ‘Venice’ version from 1643 in many places, enabling the story of Poppea and the Emperor Nero to be experienced in a fresh and thrilling way. Beautifully played on historical instruments by the Cantus Firmus Consort under the direction of Andreas Reize, who is the new Thomaskantor in Leipzig since September 2021, this elaborate CD production was created within the framework of the production at Waldegg Castle / Solothurn in summer 2021.

Er war Impresario, Librettist, Komponist und ein hervorragender Theorbenspieler – doch in erster Linie fühlte sich Benedetto Ferrari als Musiker. Um 1604 in Reggio Emilia nordwestlich von Modena geboren, studierte er in Rom. 1637 ging er das Wagnis ein, mit dem Teatro S. Cassiano das erste öffentliche Opernhaus und selbsttragende Unternehmen in Venedig zu gründen. Die Logen wurden an Adlige und reiche Bürgerfamilien verpachtet. Das Parkett war zunächst unbestuhlt, frei auch für Turniere und Umzüge; die Plätze konnte jedermann kaufen. Verlängert wurde der Zuschauerraum durch die Bühne, der Orchestergraben blieb lange versenkt. An sämtlichen Opern, die für dieses und die anderen Häuser, die plötzlich wie Pilze aus dem Boden schossen, benötigt wurden, war Ferrari als Komponist und Librettist beteiligt. Doch gelten seine Partituren größtenteils als verschollen, weshalb wir Ferrari als Komponisten lediglich aus seinen drei Büchern mit Kammerkantaten, den Musiche varie a voce sola, kannten.
