Notes
In this expert recording, singer Roberto Balconi and group Fantasyas approach Giulio Caccini's (1551-1618) Le Nuove Musiche with a focus on authentic performance practice as specified in great detail by the composer himself in the preface to the work. Dated 1601 and published in 1602, Le Nuove Musiche contains madrigals and arias for solo voice with basso continuo accompaniment and is a seminal collection in the establishment of the new Baroque style of monody which broke with Renaissance practices in many significant ways. In the preface, Caccini exhorts the performers to honour the primacy of speech and speech rhythm. Balconi explains: 'Monody is more about words and metre than singing, focusing on the declamation of the semantic, rhetorical and prosodic elements of the poetic text rather than constructing a melody.' This was a departure from the combined voices of Renaissance counterpoint, a move towards solo poetic recitation with the nuance of music in service of the meaning. Caccini lays out guidelines for the retrained and appropriate use of the improvised ornamentation that was the vogue in his day but which he considered too often gratuitous and overly virtuosic at the expense of the music. He stresses these should be used judiciously so that the singer can 'almost speak in harmony', in other words recite the text more or less normally using music. In adhering assiduously to Caccini's compositional concept, Balconi and Fantazyas create an authentic and powerfully moving document of the birth of monody, which not only inspired the invention of opera but changed the entire course of music history.

- -***9 (171)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAn amazing experience with this seller. My Item arrived early, which is rare, and was very well packaged for it's trip through the mail. The price was perfect. The item I received was in the exact condition as stated in the listing. Maybe best of all was that the seller was very communicative when I had questions about the item. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again in the future!

- o***d (493)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was as advertised & arrived well packaged. As many other reviewers stated, it took a week to get tracking information, then 6 more days before the shipping company (DHL, in this case) received the item, and then just one day to be delivered. The listing estimated delivery between 3-8 days; it took 14. No correspondence in the meantime. I'd checked the seller's feedback before ordering, however, so I expected it. If you can wait a couple weeks to receive your order, this seller is fine.3 NINJAS: 4 FILM COLLECTION (BLU-RAY) (#395645366975)
