Dear reader, I beg you hold your attention in this little dance, maybe you feel insubstantial, made around 1680 by a callow London. At that time the theater began their representations instrumental music, played off stage and presumably psychic connection with the ensuing drama. These short pieces providing entertainment for the public to arrive early to reserve your seat, and served as a warning to the players that the work would begin shortly. It is considered an independent part to the point that viewers could retire after his hearing with full refund of the localities. Although its origin is uncertain, it is believed that Henry Purcell (1659-1695) composed this chaconne in this scenario, with the practical aspect of its construction in sections, with the possibility of indefinite repetition, or otherwise, with rapid conclusion once the audience was ready.
The quality of a interpretation can only be judged subjectively based on the level of excitement and pleasure it evokes. The problem is that the first LP I bought was this, and much that we hacks counter protest at the idea a good deal of criticism label starts from premises rooted in feelings erected by these seminal experiences. Those who can reprogram your so innocent ear greatly enjoy (hopefully) with the trip proposed sigfridiano Rudolf Baumgartner at the helm of the Lucerne Festival Strings (DG, 1968) and the dance becomes a funeral elegy bruckneriana, with the bass strings marking dramatic lines while trailing morbidly telluric forces. Modern say that the joint is heavy, symphonic outdated fashion, phrasing homogeneous romantic thick, thick texture and incessant intensely expressive vibrato. is because d ECIA Polish harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, " The natives of the Fiji Islands kill their parents when they grow old and this is precisely the same moral rules music." Progress and modernity were the pillars of the crusade of the historicist movement, which in its revolutionary zeal denied any previous interpretation inscrutable, and that caused the embalming of this historic Purcell, and possibly false (but, what is the true face of Purcell ?, does the framing for the pompous wig talqueado that his legitimacy as a court musician for life real, or does the user's tireless middling brothels? Rumors have facilitated his wife his death, close-by neglect, naturally - a crude home-door winter night ...)
To facilitate listening I have grouped all versions in one link:

Originally published in an album entitled: "Sacred music at the Court Inglés "-all of a detail concerning the design solemn Gustav Leonhardt, the chaconne exudes austerity, seriousness and nobility. Perhaps you are missing a bit of rhythmic thrust, since the only objective seems to be clear contrapuntal lines. Curious position to run unevenly ( unevenly ) some passages from eighth in line low as dotted eighths and sixteenths (bars 70-76), while in line violin is followed eighth regularly. The Leonhardt Consort displays a small group of eight musicians (2.2.2.1.1) with continuous positive organ. Clara recording but with a metallic taste (Teldec, 1970).
By contrast, the overwhelming sound of significant device of Inglés The Concert-violin I (4), violin II (4), viola (3) , violoncello (2), bass and continuo (the latter, a discrete key imaginative ornamentation played by Trevor Pinnock himself) - recovering from the catacomb metrics dance polished, strong and biting. clear recording (Archiv, 1985) .
Consistency interpretative philological and gathered strength in the reading of The Parley of Instruments: By analysis of the manuscript Peter Holman notes that the second voice of violin works more in the means registration as a soprano, and that therefore could be written chaconne for violin, two violas and a bass (larger and more powerful than the cello and tuned a tone lower), instead of the modern Italian quartet for Purcell to compose the final phase of his life. perspective danceable is fresh and marks a slight harmony, lively theater. Stress flexibility in the phrasing of an instrument by hand, brief the joint, allowing the music breathe. Example of his attention to detail are the eccentric harmonic clashes. The recording quality is the usual (excellent) in Hyperion (1986), seeking a lustrous presence to key continuous thick textures.
"Better a original head an original instrument" used to say to his students Frans Bruggen. Section String of Orchestra of the 18 th Century- caressing soft gathers for the occasion a large contingent of 28 stands. balanced version, modeled after the real works of Lully, which seems more akin to the court that the theater scene (hear this ornamentation start of sentences), with an elegant and sober pace, a delicacy of line, graceful phrasing which gives clear textures and refined harmonic dissonances. Galante takes sound from a public concert (Philips, 1989) .
The Academy of Ancient Music claim the credits on the disc (L'Oiseau Lyre, 1994), but the Chaconne is played with one voice per part, with average voices calling for his role, the appropriately raspy tones, sharp dissonances, j Ugueto dynamic contrasts with slight variations to differentiate, continuous positive body improvised by the same Christopher Hogwood. Sensational almost liquid depth recording.
Leading a quartet (violin I / II, viola, continuo, plus key arpeggios and cascades sheds) culled from the excellent set Musica Antiqua Köln, Reinhard Goebel us offers its characteristic sound extremely energetic, bold tempi, no v ibrato, decided emphasis on pulses strengths of the bars, joints, intense and challenging exemplary tuning. also uses more subtle dynamic resources such as the "messa di voce " applied to a single note, usually a little long, usually at the end of sentences and that is to start soft, grow it and make it to decrease. Takes sound overwhelming (Archiv, 1995).

Il Giardino Armonico Giovanni Antonini starred commanded by a second revolution expected and passionate South, showcasing their instrumental readings definitely a breakthrough ways with conventional historicist approaches. Thus, the Mediterranean version of the string quartet, gleamed in the accompanying chords and discreet body archilaúd positive, while the dissonances are softened and tempered Dynamic (Teldec, 2001).
Finally, to close the circle, the high court can be convicted and punished as guilty of the exhumation of the neglect of this little masterpiece of Benjamin Britten: His appreciation by the Chacony gave rise to an arrangement for string orchestra in 1947, historicist pretensions and without altering the text, but developing a credible and dynamic structure consisting of rhythmic distribution. An atmospheric sound takes picked up the splendid timbre Inglés Chamber Orchestra conducted by Britten himself in this delightful, inspired, serene, smooth and airy version (Decca, 1968).
