Hello all,
Please permit the shameless plug - it is my
first.
This is to announce that my brand new CD,
"Composee pour Mademoiselle de la Balme" is now
avaiable at CD Baby via the following link:
http://cdbaby.com/cd/cwilke
Or you can get it from me directly.
It features the complete solo theorbo music of
Hurel (I believe the only such recording) found in the
de la Balme manuscript now housed in Pierpont, NY.
For those of you not in the know, Hurel's music
compares favorably with that of Robert de Visee, who's
pieces have been much recorded. Much of the
manuscript contains beautiful dance pieces but there
are also several exceedingly gorgeous preludes and one
quite extended and expressive chromatic chaconne.
Please feel free to purchase (but of course!) and
write a review.
Thanks so much, I hope you enjoy!
Chris
P.S. For those of you who recall my query of a few
months ago regarding the realization of the "-"
ornament sign, who may be curious as to what I did
with it; while I found no concrete written evidence,
on the basis of context and the advice of several
members of this list, I chose to interpret it as
saying "don't ornament this note." Most difficult to
execute.
