Review:
An excellent disc
This is an excellent addition to the available recordings of
Kapsberger.
Concentrating on the
works Kapsberger composed for Pope Urban VIII, Fred Jacobs has
produced a disc full of beautiful sound and also of genuinely fine
music. Kapsberger’s trademark eccentric musical quirks are here,
of course, but there is also a great deal of lovely, more
conventional music. Jacobs is a fine player and the recording is
excellent so Jacobs’s theorbo sounds wonderful throughout. The
whole thing is a pleasure; there are a number of excellent recordings
of Kapsberger available (most notably for me by Paul O’Dette) and
this stands well with them. Warmly recommended.
