          4 out of 5 stars Correct tempi - a rare treat.......2007-07-07

          I bought this CD because it has the only recording I've been able to find of the Chaconne de Phaeton at the correct - danceable - tempo. I fell in love with this music when I learned and performed the dance for which it was written. As an enthusiastic, though amateur, Baroque dancer, it drives me NUTS when so-called early music experts record music written for dancing at tempos that cannot be danced to. This entire CD is enjoyable, but the performance of the Chaconne de Phaeton is a delight for which I'll be eternally grateful to the Musica Antiqua Koln.

          5 out of 5 stars Pure delight!.......2006-12-10

          The Chaconne, or Passacaglia, as the two terms are usually interchangeable in their use, is an ancient dance music that is constructed on a series of variations developed from a sustained bass figure. This type of dance movement was very popular all over Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, often employed as instrumental accompaniment for courtly dances and entertainment. The importance of the variation form lies in its potential to allow composers to develop thematic materials in seemingly endless possible ways. For this matter chaccone or passacaglia was favored by Baroque composers as both a vehicle for their showmanship as well as an important medium in which to work out and assemble thematic ideas. Many composers have excelled in writing variations. For instance, the famous Austrian violin virtuoso and composer, Heinrich Ignaz von Biber, wrote some of the earliest violin sonatas in variation form. His grand Passacaglia for solo violin served as a model for Bach's towering essay in the same genre, the Chaccone for solo violin in his D minor Partita which propelled this time-honored form to its pinnacle.

          The works on this CD are nothing compared to Bach in their complexity and seriousness, but their naïve beauty is manifest throughout the pieces. The programme begins with a brilliant Chaccone in G major by Lully, with its stately pace and grandeur reminiscent of the court of Louis XIV. The next piece, a passacaglia by Marini, is calm and mournful. The juxtaposition of two pieces starkly contrasting in their moods is very effective and dramatic. After that, Corelli's refreshingly beautiful Ciaconna ushers in on strings and harpsichord, with its singing melody as lovely as flowers brought to your window in a spring morning. The Purcell pieces are archaic in sound and feel; the first Chaconny follows a rhythmic pattern while the second reposes in a dignified calmness.

          The gravity of this album is centered on the last two pieces, a Sonata-Ciaconna by J. C. Pezel and a Chaconne by Georg Muffat, each lasting well over 15 minutes. To me Pezel's Ciaconna is a rare gem I have found in recent years. The music is simply astounding, infused with vivacity and gracefulness. It starts with a tutti statement made by the full ensemble, after which the solo violin sings the theme that is to take on various guises throughout the piece. As it is named Sonata-Ciaconna, this piece can be loosely divided into three or four sections. For the most part each section is carried out by solo violin, accompanied either on harpsichord or theorbo, with the string ensemble joining in at the end of each section to punctuate the bass rhythm and summarize the main theme. Near the end the music culminates into a full oratorical declamation by the ensemble, but surprisingly ends on violin in a playful twist.

          The Chaconne by Georg Muffat actually comes from the composer's Armonico Tributo, a group of five concerti grossi published in Salzburg in 1682. Muffat, himself a German, was apparently influenced by his teacher Pasquini and the Venetian master of instrumental music, Archangelo Corelli. In these concertos he assimilated both Italian flavor and improvisatory style with German tradition of counterpoint, as can be heard in the Chaconne in G major here. This piece was originally designed for "open" orchestration, which means it could be performed on any combination of instruments, from a trio to a large ensemble, and it is played here by Goebel's gorgeous Baroque emsemble. In the composer's own words, the music "mingles the serious and the gay with most excellent harmony."

          Both the Pezel and Muffat are rarely-heard items and deserve better recognition in the repertoire. The Musica Antiqua Koln plays magnificently and reacts sensitively to the hidden nuances of each piece. Goebel is an excellent violinist as well as a conducor. Recorded sound is top-notch, powerful and crsip. Wholeheartedly recommended to fans of early music.

          5 out of 5 stars Sway with the music.......2006-11-14

          To buy a disc entitlted Chaconne and then complain because it's full of chaconnes... erm, yes, I should stop before I say something rude. The complaint in the review below about an hour's worth of Chaconne being too much should read "Chaconne, Chacony, Ciacona", anyway, and not "Ciaccona,ciaccona,ciaccona..." because the disc covers a wonderful variety of styles of this dance.
          I'll admit I had hoped that some of the tunes of this recording would be played at a little faster tempo, but they are very elegant and soothing. I have even struggled to hear the dance rythmn in a couple of these pieces because they are played so slowly, but this isn't essentially a problem for me. This is a disc that gets played quite a bit both at home and at work, and has met with either indifference or (mostly) pleasure. I wouldn't say that it's a toe-tapper, but it makes my shoulders want to sway*!?! Thankfully I have resisted so far. MAK is wonderful as always, and this is recommended to anyone who enjoys this musical form.

          5 out of 5 stars Chaconnes for all ears.......2004-12-30

          This is one of the most exquisite recordings of Chaconnes, the most sublime (in my opinion) musical expression of 17th and 18th century. What to some might seem repetitious and boring, is, I think, the highest level of musical inventiveness and genious. All nine composers show in these Chaconnes and Passacaglias how far they can go inventing and re-inventing the wheel. I would single out J.-B. Lully's majestic Chaconne and Ruprecht Ignaz Mayr's peaceful Passacaglia for an easy start. It might take a little time to appreciate the rest but it is well worth it.

          4 out of 5 stars Amen to Pezel!!.......2004-06-10

          This album provides a well needed dose of great 18th century chaconne. The other viewer was correct. Pezel's Sonata-Ciacona in B-flat major is like listening to God. The only peice missing that would make this album perfect is Bach's chaconne for solo violin.

            5 out of 5 stars An enjoyable introduction to serialism.......2005-10-28

            Somewhere on Amazon there is a reviewer who expresses skepticism towards anyone who claims to have "gotten" Schoenberg's later works the first time they heard them. I find this skepticism odd for two reasons.
            The first reason is a foible I should be used to by now. When will we learn (and I include myself in this) that others are not limited by our own personal limitations? I have enjoyed much twelve-tone or serialist music from the first time I heard it. That doesn't mean I had (or have yet) a good theoretical understanding of it. I think of it as more that I was prepared for the music by being exposed to a lot of classical, jazz and world music at an early age.
            These thoughts lead me to my second reason which has more to do with Schoenberg's twelve-tone system itself. It seems to me to be a natural development from 19th century music. The pantonality (Schoenberg's own preferred term) of serialism was emerging throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Pure tonality was slipping in Chopin and was in full pratfall by the time of Wagner. Debussey, Satie and Scriabin all developed alternatives to it.
            Try this thought experiment. Let us suppose that we can take several of Shakespeare's most famous soliloquies or sonnets and we take some of the more recognizable lines from them and use them to construct a new sonnet that actually makes sense. Then we read that new sonnet to an audience full of people who know their Shakespeare. Imagine the disorientation as they recognize the first line, remember its context and then are surprised by the second line. As this continues, they realize that what they are hearing makes sense on its own. And they end up having to give up their cultural expectations to try to focus on trying to understand that new sense.
            In a way, this is what serialism is trying to do (as I understand it). It doesn't embrace dissonance or consonance- it cuts us adrift from what gives those terms meaning and our beloved "resolution". Personally I kind of like it.
            I think this CD of music by Luigi Dallapiccola will serve as a good introduction for many people to the pleasures of serialism. My brother once described Dallapiccola to me as "Yea, sort of a middle of the road, lyrical serialist". Remove the negative connotations from that description and it is about right.
            Consider the first piece on this CD, the wonderful "Tartiana seconda". Dallapiccola has created several pieces based themes or phrases of Tartini's. He then manipulates the themes in the standard serialist fashion. The result are pieces that sound very baroque, with a piano parts that sound like something Debussey would create, that are mostly tonal but also slyly dissonant at times. The last movement, "Variations", is particularly strong.
            This piece is the cause of my whole introductory spiel- you can hear the whole of the nineteenth and some of the twentieth in their development with source material that is baroque. I would claim that this piece is ample proof that serialism is a natural development of the tradition.
            The second piece,"Due Studi", is more traditionally serialist (the wheel turns and all revolutions become bureaucracies). The first movement is quietly brooding and warns of the aggression to come in the second movement.
            The final pieces are solos for cello and piano. I could only describe them in the most impressionist of manners so I will suggest only that you listen to the sound samples.
            The playing by Rodolfo Bonucci (violin), Arturo Bonucci (cello) and Bruno Canino (piano) is wonderful and the recording quality is great.
            Some of this music in now available on a much cheaper CD on the Naxos label. I am unfamiliar with that recording so I cannot compare them. But I do not hesitate to recommend this CD as an introduction of Dallapiccola and to some of the profound pleasures of serialist music.

              Album Description

              The works of Emanuele Barbella (1718-1777) obviously had some currency in Europe, since ten of his collections of sonatas, duets, and trios were edited in Paris and London--the two major centers for the publication of chamber music at that time--between 1762 and 1774. These are simple and agreeable works for the most part, with occasional harmonic surprises and references to folk motifs appreciated by the cultured public of the era.

              3 out of 5 stars Disappointing!.......2007-07-20

              The instrumental music is beautifully done, but I can't recommend the album because some of the vocal music is strained and wobbly at best. It lacks vocal talent. Some of the best selections are: Estampie; Ahi!Amors, Com Dure Departie; Sexte Estampie Real; Ar Ne Kuth Ich Sorghe Non (Dance); and Cuer Disirrous Apaie.
