The genre of the pastorale, the  Arcadian pastoral idyll, enjoyed incredible popularity during the Renaissance and all the great poets of the time wrote poems that were in turn set to madrigals by the great composers. Leonor de Lera plays a selection of such pastorals on her violin - accompanied by lute and guitar. She does this, as was customary for  Renaissance  and  early Baroque instrumentalists, by not playing the melodies true to the notes, but by embellishing them with so-called 'diminutions'. There were many schools and styles for these, which are described in treatises of the time, and the virtuoso also demonstrated his skills with his art of diminution. The violinist now applies the different styles to the various pieces she has chosen for this programme, which are by Monteverdi, Caccini, Falconieri, Trombocino, Willaert and many others. The result is a stylistically diverse, highly virtuosic CD that is also a comprehensive compendium of the art of diminution in Italy around 1600.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Leonor de Lera and her colleagues perform this touching music with an admirable suggestive power. de Lera, in particular, plays her part with captivating ingenuity' \\x96 Pizzicato ***** \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiammatteo Asola: In una verde piaggia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiuseppino del Biado: Fuggi, fuggi, fuggi da questo cielo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiaches de Wert: Ah, dolente partita\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Falconieri: E viver, e morire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaudio Monteverdi: Lamento della ninfa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Rognoni: Vestiva i colli del Palestrina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilippe Verdelot: Trist'Amarilli mia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiulio Caccini: Al fonte, al prato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Falconieri: Begli occhi lucenti\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBartolomeo Tromboncino: Zephyro spira e il bel tempo rimena (alla Ganassi)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiccardo Rognoni: Un gai bergier (Thomas Crecquillon)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrea Falconieri: Pastorella ove ti ascondi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVincenzo Ruffo: Liete piante, verdi erbe, limpide acque\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrian Willaert: Vecchie letrose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilippe Verdelot: Igno soave (alla Ganassi)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaudio Monteverdi: Dolcissimo uscignolo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSigismondo d'India: Su su prendi la cetra o Pastore\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClaudio Monteverdi: Zefiro Zefiro torna\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420737753473,"sku":"2256136","price":16.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7619990104594.jpg?v=1750621171","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2256136","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
