Bojan Cicic and The Illyria Consort: Bertali Chiacona

[@jppitman1]

Just from this piece alone, I bet Antonio Bertali was a fun person to know. I think you must have a lighthearted personality to write a piece of such joyful personality .You can display virtuosity and a sense of merriment at the same time and this was carried off so well.

Wonderful piece and the harpsichord player is shredding it.

Qué maravillosa versión, de ésta lindísima pieza del barroco, de Antonio Bertali.Excepcional.

[@colibriazul7]

Hola: Muchas gracias por tan bella música. Soy Arturo de la Ciudad de México y por herencia recibimos mucha influencia española. En esta pieza en particular se puede sentir el sabor de los sones de Tierra Caliente y los sones Huastecos. Muchas gracias. Hermosa música.

Bravo. Exceptional technical and interpretative gifts by the entire ensemble.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Excepcionalmente bella y brillante, un lujo de ensamble son los cuatro virtuosos intérpretes.

eccezionale interpretazione.

[@jppitman1]

Question: are "gig bags" made for theorbos? How do you fit it into a taxi? I bet theorbo players don`t own Smart Cars or Morris Minis......or Isettas!

[@jimmybamber4378]

Very good 😀😀

[@c.g.marseille4510]

is dit nu saaie of boeiende muziek, of boeiend door de saaiheid ? en ook wel 'minimalistisch.... i.i.g. mooi !

[@dreamingdragon77]

Mooie stuk. Jammer dat de laatste passage een brij van noten is, die had de violist wat beter meer in staccato kunnen spelen. Ik vind het ensemble teveel forte spelen en de violist teveel overstemmen. De balans is ver te zoeken tussen violist en begeleiding. Ze rammen maar door.

Olá Lynda Sayce, Ainda que esta execução pretenda ser uma "interpretação historicamente informada" não o é! Porque a Lynda Sayce toca sem unhas e de acordo com a informação que dispomos da época, a Tiorba devia ser tocados com unhas, e alguma vezes usando unhas postiças. Ate sempre. pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Morais

Well, that's a little categorical, I think. Surely, *both* techniques were in use in the 16th/17th centuries, weren't they? There's an interesting posting on this at: richardsweeney.com/the-best-way-of-play/

[@VoicesofMusic]

As a musicologist, I respectfully disagree. Linda's playing is eminently historical.

[@Ton19462]

Why are they so much in a hurry? The short notes passages become a porridge.

[@jimmybamber4378]
