Review;
An excellent recording
I already have some dearly loved recordings of de Visée by
Jose Miguel Moreno, Pascal Monteilhet and others but I was keen to try this
after hearing Xavier Diaz-Latorre's excellent Stolen Roses disc – and I'm very
glad I did, because it is just as good.
Latorre has chosen a fine programme of mixed pieces,
intermingling the lighter sound of the Baroque guitar with the depth and
resonance of the theorbo, which works extremely well. De Visée's music is a delight throughout and
he plays it with a virtuosic skill which makes it sound as though there is no
real effort or skill involved. He
interprets it beautifully so that each piece has real meaning and I find the
entire disc a real pleasure.
The performance is beautifully recorded, and if you have any
interest in the music of this period I can recommend this very warmly – I love
it.
