Description:

With a pattern of recording solo albums which has been positively frugal over the last 20 years, Mara Galassi marks her return on Glossa with a new and striking programme, entitled Portrait of a Lady with Harp. The ambiance into which the noted modern- day harpist from Milan plunges the listener is that of the court of Queen Christina of Sweden who, on renouncing her throne, converting to Catholicism and moving to Rome in the mid 1650s embarked upon a spectacular cultural life, becoming a patron for writers, scientists and especially musicians. Among those composers active in Rome at the time were Alessandro Stradella, Bernardo Pasquini, Arcangelo Corelli and Alessandro Scarlatti, all of whom benefitted from Christina's constant hunger for music of high quality, whether official employees at her court or not. No Mara Galassi record release is going to be found lacking in an element of mystery: is the portrait of a lady with a harp appearing in the booklet that of the self-exiled queen herself? In the accompanying essay, Arnaldo Morelli investigates the history of this painting in search of answers, and describes Christina's colourful Italian musical life. The hectic, turbulent musical climate of mid-Seicento Rome is grasped and expressed by Mara Galassi, filtering the talents of Christina's proteges through her chosen instrument which, for this new recording, is based on Girolamo Acciari's 1632 "Arpa Barberini", a triple harp of great range and subtlety., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Design: Rosa Tendero, Engineer, Producer: Rino Trasi, Executive-Producer: Carlos Céster, Harp: Mara Galassi, Harp [Arpa Doppia]: Mara Galassi, Liner Notes: Arnaldo Morelli, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Arcangelo Corelli, Composed By: Jacques Arcadelt, Composed By: Anonymous, Composed By: Anonymous, Composed By: Anonymous, Composed By: Bernardo Pasquini, Composed By: Alessandro Stradella, Composed By: Alessandro Scarlatti, Composed By: Alessandro Scarlatti, Composed By: Arcangelo Corelli, Labelcode GSA921304.2 (GCD 921304), Phonographic Copyright (p) Note 1 Music GmbH, Copyright (c) Note 1 Music GmbH, Recorded At Arena Del Sole, Roccabianca
