Rosario Conte, archlute: Italian Baroque music for archlute by Alessandro & Leonardo Piccinini
About the album
In this solo archlute recital, the Italian lutenist Rosario Conte plays works by Alessandro Piccinini and his son, Leonardo Maria Piccinini, in a most virtuosic and emotional interpretation. This recording offers an excitingly fresh view on Italian 17th Century repertoire (the pieces of this CD were published in 1623 and 1639). It does not only show the complexity and difficulty of the compositions, but rather discloses their deep beauty and grace, thus revealing the true humanistic background of this outstanding musical era. Recorded 2011 in the Convent of the Annunciation in Rovato, Italy.

press reviews
Beautifully recorded and played works, rarely recorded. Captivating gentle Italian lute music. Recording has a large ambience which I liked, a matter of personal preference - similar to Eduardo Eguez recordings of Bach. I prefer Monica Pustilnik's recording on Accent which is absolutely gorgeous, a little more intimate, but there's not much in it and only half of the pieces overlap so very happy to have both.
Aus meiner Sicht die Referenzaufnahme in Sachen Arciliuto und Piccinini. Conte spielt mit einer beeindruckenden Musikalität und technischen Souveränität ohne gitarristische Marotten wie dauerndes Abdämpfen (insbesondere der Basssaiten) mit der rechten Hand. Der Klang des Instruments von Marcus Wesche ist unglaublich tragend. (Wieviel Anteil mögen daran wohl der gewählte Aufnahmeraum und der Toningenieurs haben?). Klare Empfehlung, nicht nur für "Spezialisten"!
perfect
Die CD ist wunderbar und die Musik kann man nicht oft genug hören. Ein Genuss1!!! Es gibt selten so eine klare und trotzdem romantische Musik
Trés trés beau disque tant par les oeuvres enregistrées que par la qualité de l'interprétation.Par ailleurs l'interêt de ce CD se trouve dans l'auteur peu connu.
