GLO 5285 - 8711525528505
This album explores rarely recorded music by John Jenkins (1592-1678) and Matthew Locke (1621/2-1677). These composers are typically associated with consort music, but Lidewij van der Voort and Fred Jacobs delve into their compositions for two instruments on their debut CD as a duo. Written during England's tumultuous Commonwealth era, the music featured on this album was intended for private society, providing solace and entertainment amidst the challenges of the time. Locke's music stands out for its adventurous style compared to Jenkins' more conventional harmonies, creating delightful contrasts within this album.
Dieses Album erkundet selten aufgenommene Musik von John Jenkins (1592-1678) und Matthew Locke (1621/2-1677). Diese Komponisten werden normalerweise mit Consort-Musik in Verbindung gebracht, aber Lidewij van der Voort und Fred Jacobs widmen sich auf ihrer Debüt-CD als Duo ihren Kompositionen für zwei Instrumente. Die Musik, die auf diesem Album zu hören ist, wurde während der turbulenten Commonwealth-Ära in England geschrieben und war für die private Gesellschaft bestimmt, um Trost und Unterhaltung inmitten der Herausforderungen der Zeit zu bieten. Lockes Musik zeichnet sich durch ihren gewagten Stil im Vergleich zu den eher konventionellen Harmonien von Jenkins aus, was für reizvolle Kontraste auf diesem Album sorgt.
De werken klinken niet heel ingewikkeld, wat niet verwonderlijk is gezien de originele doelgroep. De losse stukjes van Jenkins zijn wat conventioneel van aanpak, die van Locke – georganiseerd als suites, gebundeld onder de titel For Several Friends – bevatten wat meer verrassingen in melodie en harmonie.
