More Details on Tartini - Violin Sonatas (with Soprano)
Chiara Banchini has never concealed her admiration for Giuseppe Tartini. The musical, intellectual and aesthetic care she has lavished on this recording is ample proof of her devotion to his music.
Tartini developed a genuine system of thought founded on Nature - physical phenomena perceptible by our senses and determined by mathematical rules. He did not seek to imitate the natural world through its sounds and other outward manifestations, but aimed at aesthetic concepts of much greater sophistication and coherence, through the use of folksongs (notably those of the gondoliers with their references to Tasso and Ariosto), compositional techniques following poetic metres, and musical themes directly inspired by quotations from the verse of Metastasio, Petrarch, and others.
To guide us into this poetic atmosphere, Chiara Banchini has called on the voice of Patricia Bovi to evoke the gondoliers’ songs so characteristic of the Venetian memories of Goethe and Rousseau, and asked the musicologist Stefano Aresi to present in the booklet the synaesthetic ideal to which Tartini aspired. Each piece of music is illustrated by an evocative poem or painting.
The CD is presented in a Digibox with a 40-page, full colour booklet in English, French, and Italian.
