About

The series 'L'Oreille de...' from Cypres and the Huelgas Ensemble, that began with L'Oreille de Zurbarcin (CYP1669) and L'heritage de Petrus Alamire (CYP1673), juxtaposes the music of a particular period and the creative world of a contemporaneous painter, scribe or explorer. What might he have listened to if he had had a transistor radio, a hifi system or the possibility of streaming on a computer? In conjunction with the exhibition: Theodoor van Loon, a caravaggist between Rome and Brussels in BOZAR Brussel, this album introduces the first Southern Netherlands Caravaggist between Rome and Brussels through the music of the seventeenth century.

Paul Van Nevel has selected some emblematic pieces played in Italy, where van Loon used to live between 1602 and 1608, and in the musical chapel of Albert and Isabelle.

Reviews

This is one of those recitals of out-ofthe- way repertory in which Paul Van Nevel specialises, intended to accompany the paintings of Theodoor van Loon, a Flemish painter who absorbed the style of early Baroque painting in Rome and introduced it to his homeland. Hence a programme of music that trembles on the verge of the Baroque, marked by Palestrina's Roman pupils on one hand and the painter's contemporaries at the Brussels court of Albert and Isabella of Habsburg on the other.

We so rarely get to hear many of the composers represented here; and if not all of the music is stunningly original, so well is it made that it positively shines when presented in performances as poised and polished as these.  Fabrice Fitch
