With his ensemble Accademia del Piacere, Alqhai has, for some years now, been turning away from the well-worn pathways in order to explore new possibilities in terms of presentation and interpretation in his musical work; a good example of this has been his recent and highly-successful collaborative activities with the cantaor Arcángel. In his first recording for Glossa, Rediscovering Spain - fantasías, diferencias & glosas, Alqhai is aiming to go far beyond the customary "authentic" approach of interpretation (for him a notion which is becoming increasingly empty). In this way, Accademia del Piacere sets out to recover and bring up to date in all its aspects the common practice of musicians from the 16th and 17th centuries - a time when any composition provided the opportunity or excuse for trying out all the possibilities of commentary, paraphrase and creating glosas around original material (often composed by others and in many cases created with these ends in mind).
