Brescianello / Caldara / Chandler- An Englishman Abroad - Nicola Matteis The Younge
The latest release from renowned period ensemble La Serenissima celebrates the life and work of Nicola Matteis the Younger. Born in London to an Italian father and English mother, Matteis was immersed in the style of Henry Purcell before leaving England in 1700 for the Imperial Court in Vienna. All of the music on the album is - rather fortuitously - Carolean; either written for Charles II of England, or for (or in the realm of) Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI. It is all too easy to think that the English style and English musicians were unknown on the continent in the early C18, but this selection of music shows that this wasn't (always) the case. There are some jubilant dances and dance suites featured here as well as a ravishingly beautiful Vivaldi concerto and two superb Chaconnes, one by an Englishman, and one by an Italian.
Tracklist:
- Ouverture-Suite for strings ; continuo in g, TWV 55:g5~Largo - Fuga
- Concerto for violin, strings ; continuo in B flat~Sinfonia: Allegro
- Concerto for violin, strings ; continuo in B flat~Adagio
- Concerto for violin, strings ; continuo in B flat~Air: Allegro e Presto
- Concerto for violin, strings ; continuo in B flat~Sarabanda
- Concerto for violin, strings ; continuo in B flat~Allegro
- Ouverture-Suite for strings ; continuo in C~Hornpipe
