The Devil's DreamWorks by Eccles, Dowland, Ford, Simpson,Anon, Robinson, Rosseter, Poole, Hume, Byrd, Purcell, Pianca, Ghielmi
Graciela Gibelli (soprano), Luca Pianca (lute, chitaronne, baroque guitar), Vittorio Ghielmi (lutes, viols) In their third collaboration with harmonia mundi, Luca
Pianca and Vittorio Ghielmi perform musical miniatures
from the time of Shakespeare.
From Solomon Eccles's Division to a Ground to the
lament of John Dowland's Solus cum sola, passing to
Byrd´s lovely lullaby Come, pretty babe, this journey from
Dowland to Purcell offers more than the typical
melancholy which was the characteristic of those times.
Also included are two pieces of their own composition:
Devil´s Dream by Luca Pianca (which gives title to the cd)
and Little Dew, Little Light by Ghielmi, dedicated to the
birth of his own child. |
