The poem behind this album's title refers to happiness and cruelty, harmony and discord, contrasts evoked by Eguez's programme which focuses on music by five leading Italian lutenists from the first half of the sixteenth century, Francesco Canova da Milano, Alberto da Ripa, Pietro Paolo Borrono, Giovanni Paolo Paladino and Perino Fiorentino. The work and lives of these composers were all mixed up in the Italian Wars (1494-1559) which will have overshadowed their compositional activities as much as their playing at those various courts embroiled in the conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEguez elegantly explores this bellicose time with virtuosic fantasias and sprightly dances, but also with diminutions on vocal intabulations - with these last emphasizing this new release's Glossa family connections, as three of the tracks feature vocal contributions from La Compagnia del Madrigale and the sessions took place in that ensemble's favoured location of the aptly contemporaneous church in Roletto, just outside the city of Turin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Canova: Ricercar 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacques Arcadelt, Perino Fiorentino: O felici occhi miei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO felici occhi miei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Canova: Fantasia 21\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasia 38\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasia 28\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlberto da Ripa: Pavane La Romanesque\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaillarde L'Amirale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasie sixiesme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVincenzo Ruffo, Giovanni Paolo Paladino: Alcun non puo saper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlcun non puo saper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiovanni Paolo Paladino: Pavane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePavane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaillarde\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFantasia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePietro Paolo Borrono: Pavana detta La Lacrimosa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaltarello primo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRogier Pathie, Alberto da Ripa: D'amour me plains\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eD'amour me plains\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420715929985,"sku":"2341743","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/8424562235410.jpg?v=1750620872","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2341743","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
