음반 정보
• 미국을 대표하는 바로크 시대악기 앙상블인 아폴로스 파이어는 최근 들어 유럽 무대에서도 뜨거운 화제를 불러일으키고 있다.
• 이번 음반은 리더 자네트 소렐의 탁월한 편곡 솜씨를 엿볼 수 있는 편곡 협주곡 앨범으로 꾸몄는데, 하프시코드 협주곡으로 변신한 <사계> 중 ‘여름’, 콘체르토 그로소로 변환시켜서 양감과 다이내믹을 더한 비발디 <라 폴리아>는 그야말로 흥미진진하며 바로크 관습에도 부합한다.
• 한편 현대 작곡가 르네 뒤히프레의 ‘탱고’ 협주곡은 비올라 다 감바 두 대를 독주 악기로 쓰면서 현대의 춤곡인 탱고를 끌어들인 매력적인 작품으로 바로크와 현대가 만난 듯한 진한 감흥을 준다.
Apollo's Fire
On 'Vivaldi and Friends', Apollo’s Fire, directed by Jeannette Sorrell, serve up an album of baroque concertos with a twist, just ahead of their UK debut at London’s Wigmore Hall in November.
The Cleveland-based baroque orchestra Apollo’s Fire, with their founder/director Jeannette Sorrell, has made an indelible impression on the international music market since launching on Avie with recordings of Bach, Mozart and Monteverdi. Vivaldi and Friends is a presentation of concertos by the Red Priest with a twist: two authentic Vivaldi Concertos – one for four violins, the other for two cellos – are interspersed with one of J. S. Bach’s many transcriptions of Vivaldi’s a minor concerto for four harpsichords, and Jeannette Sorrell’s own transcription of ‘Summer’ from the ever-popular Four Seasons. Sorrell’s arrangement mirrors the widespread baroque practice of transcribing violin works for keyboard. In her unique version, she performs the original violin parts on the harpsichord.
The album ends with an enigmatic Tango Concerto by contemporary composer René Duchiffre, written in the idiom of Bach and Vivaldi for the unusual combination of two violas da gamba, and instrument not typically given the spotlight in baroque concertos and to the composer’s mind was unjustly neglected. The use of the Tango, a 20th-century dance form, is a nod to the characteristic use of dance forms during the baroque era.
"The showstopper is La Folia…building to dizzing whirls." - THE INDEPENDENT (London)
"The ensemble exudes stylish energy…a blend of scholarship and visceral intensity." - Gramophone
