Review:
Lovely music, very well played
This is a very good disc of music by Michelagnolo Galilei, with
contributions from his father Vincenzo. (They were, incidentally,
the brother and father respectively of the great astronomer and
physicist, Galileo.) It’s lovely music, very well played.
Both the Galileis
were very good composers for the lute, and what we get here is music
at the cusp of the Renaissance and the early Baroque. It is
inventive, often beautiful and very rewarding, and Anthony Bailes
plays excellently so all these qualities are well in evidence. He is
thoughtful and has the technical excellence to really make these
pieces shine. The recorded sound is lovely so the disc is a pleasure
from start to finish.
I am a great fan of
the lute and this is a very welcome addition to my collection.
Warmly recommended.
