  • Leila Schayegh completes LeClair violin concerto series

    Jan 25th, 2022 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Glossa, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, Leila Schayegh, Noteworthy Release

    This completes Leila Schayegh’s traversal of Jean-Marie Leclair Op. 7 and Op. 10 concertos. LeClair was one of the premier violinists of the early 1700s. He’s credited with founding the French school of violin-playing. Bottom line: LeClair was a monster player — and he expected anyone performing his concertos to be the same! As with […]

  • Cantica Symphonia masterfully perform Josquin Desprez

    Oct 20th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Cantica Symphonia, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, early music, Giuseppe Maletto, Glossa, Josquin Desprez, renaissance music

    This is the fourth volume of music by Josquin Desprez that Cantica Symphonia has released on Glossa. Giuseppe Maletto and the ensemble released two volumes of Josquin’s motets, plus one of chansons. Their next release was a collection of Marian motets (compositions in praise of the Virgin Mary) by various Renaissance composers. This recording seems […]

  • Josetxu Obregón’s portrait of Antonio Caldara, cellist

    Apr 20th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Antonio Caldara, Baroque music, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, early music, Glossa, Josetxu Obregón, La Ritarata

    Antonio Caldara was a cellist, but he didn’t write exclusively for the cello. In the early 1700s composers wrote what they were paid to. Caldara’s best remembered for his operas, oratorios, and cantatas. And those are the works that usually get recorded. Josetxu Obregón has put together a program that showcases Caldara’s affinity for his […]

  • Leila Schayegh delivers lively performances of LeClair violin concertos

    Jan 13th, 2020 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Concerto, early music, Glossa, Jean-Marie Leclair, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, Leila Schayegh

    I think I’m seeing a pattern here. This second volume of Jean-Marie LeClair violin concertos features four selections: two each from his Opus 7 (1739) and Opus 10 (1743). And just as they did in volume one, the concertos share the same numbers. In this case, nos. 1 and 3. Violinist Leila Schayegh and La […]

  • Leila Schayegh delivers with LeClair Violin Concertos

    Aug 29th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Classical music, Concerto, Glossa, Jean-Marie Leclair, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, Leila Schayegh

    This first volume of Jean-Marie LeClair violin concertos features four selections: two each from his Opus 7 (1739) and Opus 10 (1743). LeClair was one of the greatest violinists of his age. He regularly used extended techniques, such as double stops, bariolages, and harmonics. And yet in his concertos, these techniques were always used in […]

  • Michel-Richard de Lalande Grands Motets Evoke Grandeur

    Aug 12th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Chantal Santon-Jeffery, choral music, Collegium Marianum, early music, François Joron, Glossa, Les Pages & Les Chantres du Centre de musique baroque de Versailles, Lisandro Abadie, Michel-Richard de Lalande, Olivier Scheebeli, Reinoud Van Mechelen

    Michel-Richard de Lalande was a contemporary of Jean-Baptiste Lully and François Couperin. Like them, he served at the court of Louis XIV. Lalande’s strength was composing grand motets; elegant, extravagant, grand music suited for the Royal Chapel at Versailles. This release presents three examples. All three require a large orchestra (for the Baroque period, that […]

  • Nuevo Mundo: 17th Century music in Latin America – Encore!

    Apr 16th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Adrian Fernandez, CD Review, early music, Ensemble Elyma, Gabriel Garrido, Glossa, Josep Cabré, Maria Cristinia Kiehre, Mariuccia Domenighini, Pietro Valguarnera, Roberto Balconi, Sandro Naglia

    I guess you just can’t keep a good recording down. “Nuevo Mundo” was first released on the Italian Symphonia label in 1991. Pan Classics reissued it in 2012, and here it is again on Glossia in 2017. Why does it keep being reissued? Probably because it deserves to be. The Ensemble Elyma delivers spirited, energetic […]

  • Biondi Performs Leclair with Clarity

    Aug 2nd, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, Classical music, Europa Galante, Fabio Biondi, Glossa, Jean-Marie Leclair, Orchestral music

    In a recent interview, Fabio Biondi said, “the music is first, the composer is first – and then we [the musicians] follow.” That artistic stance makes this new release of Leclair concertos such a treasure. Jean-Marie Leclair was a virtuoso violinist credited with founding the French violin school. Like many performers, he wrote music primarily […]
