Amadio Freddi: Vespers

[Machine Translation] Conductor/cornetist Jamie Savant, whose debut album "Venice 1629" was a great success, will be joined by his "Gonzaga Band" (Gonzaga is the name of a famous family in Mantova whom Monteverdi served) to explore the unknown composers of Venice. With his "Gonzaga Band" (Gonzaga is the name of a famous family in Mantova whom Monteverdi served), he explores the works of unknown Venetian composers. The album features the world premiere recording of "The Evening Service" by Amadio Fredi, music director of Treviso Cathedral in Veneto at the same time that Monteverdi was music director of San Marco Basilica. The performance incorporates works by contemporary composers, and the music is selected as if a series of prayers were taking place in front of the audience, allowing the listener to fully appreciate Freddi's originality, which stands out in the natural flow of the music.

デビュー・アルヴァム『ヴェネツィア1629年』が大成功を収めた指揮者・コルネット奏者、ジェイミー・サヴァン。今作でも彼が率いる"ゴンザガ・バンド" (ゴンザガとはモンテヴェルディが仕えたマントヴァの名家の名)と共に、ヴェネツィアの知られざる作曲家の作品を探求。このアルバムで彼が取り上げたのは、モンテヴェルディがサン・マルコ寺院の楽長を務めていた時代と同じ頃、ヴェネトのトレヴィーゾ大聖堂の楽長であったアマディオ・フレッディの世界初録音となる「晩課」。演奏の際は、同時代の作曲家の作品を組み込みながら、あたかも目の前で一連の祈りが行われているかのような選曲が行われており、自然な流れの中で際立つフレッディの独創性を存分に味わうことができる。
