Early Modern English Music
) | Label: PASSACAILLE Catalog: PAS1028 Format: COMPACT DISC TASTO SOLODuring the Tudor period in England, there was a great variety of keyboard instruments, be it virginals, organs, spinettes or harpsichords. These instruments were particularly popular with the court, and Tudor's music enthusiasts were self-assured instrumentalists. The Ensemble Tasto Solo and Guillermo Pérez took on the musical pearls of this eventful epoch with this new release. Tasto Solo rediscovers virtuoso and highly refined repertoires from the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods. Directed by the organetto player Guillermo Perez, the ensemble approaches Early Music with exquisite performances by combining historical research, creativity and the art of transmitting emotions. Each concert is a unique event: the group pays full attention to every detail, including staging, dramatic rhythm, improvisation and dialogue between the artists. Contemporary audiences, whether connoisseur or inexperienced, are seduced from the very first note, overwhelmed by the sensuality and unusual sonorities that make up Tasto Solo’s particular identity.
