Info for The Fall of the Leaf

Diese persönliche Anthologie feiert das goldene Zeitalter der englischen Tastenmusik des späten 16. und frühen 17. Jahrhunderts. Die von Martin Peerson und William Byrd transkribierten Pavanes und Galliards von John Dowlands werden umrahmt von John Tomkins' Liedvariationen, den Tänzen von Thomas Morleys und William Tisdalls sowie von Peter Philips‘ hinreißenden Madrigalen. John Amners meisterhaftes O Lord, in Thee is all my trust wird den Variationen The Bells von William Byrds gegenübergestellt und verdeutlicht die unterschiedlichen Stile dieser Komponisten.

Mit dieser Einspielung erweitert Giulia Nutis ihre Diskografie mit von Kritik und Publikum hochgelobten Aufnahmen auf historischen Cembali; ihr Solorecital "Le Cœur et l'oreille: Manuscript Bauyn" (Arcana, 2017), aufgenommen auf dem Cembalo von Louis Denis aus dem Jahr 1658, wurde mit dem Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik ausgezeichnet. In der vorliegenden Aufnahme spielt Giulia ein exquisites italienisches Virginal von ca. 1575.
