In the imaginative Baroque setting of Francesco Geminiani’s “Sonatas op. 5,” the aim was to seek an acoustic color that would respect the extraordinary stylistic interpretation of the performers, wary of excessive technological artifices. The result is perceptible in the natural austerity of the sound due to the ambience of the splendid dance hall of the Castle of S. Lorenzo de Picenardi (Cremona), where the recording took place.
We would like to emphasize to lovers of this music the lesser-known aspect of improvisation: guided by the written melody that Enrico Bronzi’s cello transforms into the composer’s vital breath, while Michele Barchi’s harpsichord reinvents and reconstructs on the numbered bass line, images and emotions of that time with exquisite refinement. Such masterful performance was able to show us the way to be able to convey to the audience the flavor of a journey through time, through the phonographic medium.
