Ottavio Dantone (harpsichord and direction) Accademia Bizantina (on original instruments) The new album features some of Bach's most memorable music, recorded with one player per part. The concertos were originally written for harpsichord and strings, and Accademia Bizantina has returned to the original scoring to achieve an intimate dialogue between the solo instrument and accompanying strings. “Directing from the keyboard, Dantone avoids obtruding mannerisms and keeps the music dancing. Any novelty lies instead with the Accademia’s abbreviated forces – five string players, one to a part.” The Times, 18th July 2008 **** “...here is a triumphant vindication of the authentic approach from the Milanese harpsichordist Ottavio Dantone and his Accademia Bizantina. His performances are free-flowing within the confines of the language, and he is not afraid to indulge in expressive fantasy, notably in the cool, pizzicato-dominated largo of the F minor Concerto BWV 1056. He is accompanied by just five energetic string players - one to a part - but the effect never sounds insubstantial, and the recording neatly integrates soloist and "orchestra".” The Telegraph, 16th August 2008 |
