Description
This new two-disc album contains sonatas from the only surviving manuscript of Aldebrando Subissati, the Italian Kapell-meister of Polish king Jan Kazimierz. This is a collection of twenty compositions with a rather unusual structure, since most of them consist of two movements, which was not a common practice in the Baroque era. The leading instrument is the violin, accompanied by either theorbo with posi-tive organ or viola da gamba with harp-sichord.
Due to the sparse use of musical notation, on the album we hear mainly free, virtuoso interpretations; in some places the composer even suggests the performer to continue the piece according to his or her own fantasy. The performers also had to resolve the harmonic dis-sonances between the solo part and the basso continuo, since the sonatas come from a period when the major-minor tonality was not fully formed yet.
With finesse and a fair amount of personal invention, the artists shape a new face of a forgotten composer.
