An exellent rendering of fantastic music
The symfonias of Viadana
are a class on itself: On the transition of renaissance
and early baroque this music is a synthesis of the
polyphonic instrumental music for 2 (instrumental)
choirs as developed in Venice. The symphoniae already
have a basso continuo, but are polyphonic composed for
2 choirs. Alberto Rasi, with Academis Strumentale and
two other consorts has understood the basis of the
music perfectly. His approach is to render the canzonas
in accordance with the style of late renaissance
instrumental dance music, using contempory instruments.
The result is a must for lovers of music of this period
and Lodovico da Viadana specifically.
