Description:

This is a piece that is typical of the ALPHA label, which has been pursuing the possibilities of pre-Baroque music since its inception. This album titled "Gypsy Baroque" features Telemann, who learned about the folk music of Poland and Slovakia from working in a nobleman's house between Poland and Slovakia as a young man, and other composers who were active across the border, such as Vivaldi and Tartini, while exploring the relationship between their influences and "folk music. This is a project disc that explores the relationship between "folk music" and the works of transnational composers such as Vivaldi and Tartini, which may have influenced them. The entire ensemble, including some 18th century gypsy music interspersed throughout, plays a mixture of baroque and ethnic instruments, giving Telemann's usually elegant-sounding compositions a new charm as works with an abundance of wildness. The ensemble is led by Vittorio Ghielmi, founder of Il Giardino, and Il Suonar Parlante, an ensemble that explores jazz and traditional music. It is known for its innovative projects. Naxos Japan
