Description:

Intavolatura Di Chitarone by Yavor Genov, released 2 August 2019. This version of Intavolatura Di Chitarone comes as a 1xSuper Audio. - JONAS NORDBERG

At the end of the 16th century, the pursuit of greater, more vivid expressivity dominated music-making all across Italy, taking madrigals and other vocal ensemble forms as it's starting point but soon going on to explore the possibilities offered by solo singing. For some decades the theorbo (or chitarone, as it was also called) was regarded as the ideal instrument for accompanying singers, but as a leading exponent of the instrument Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger soon also established it as a solo instrument in it's own right. Of German descent, Kapsperger published his first book of solo pieces for the theorbo in 1604 and went on to enjoy a successful career in Rome, contributing to the monumental cultural programme of Pope Urban VIII. There he moved in intellectual circles, particularly that of the scientist Galileo Galilei. During the 1630s things became quiet for Kapsperger, possibly a side effect of Galilei's conviction for heresy in 1633. Not until 1640 did his last known volume of theorbo pieces appear, the number four in it's title indicating that two books have been lost. A particularly attractive aspect of Kapsperger's music for the theorbo is the marked contrasts between dramatic and impetuous toccatas, straightforward, 'no-nonsense' passacaglias and rhythmically refined but simply constructed dance movements such as galliards. These are here all made to sound under the fingers of Jonas Nordberg, sought-after as soloist as well as ensemble musician, performing on a wide range of plucked instruments including the lute, guitar and theorbo. On BIS he has previously appeared on the acclaimed album Heroines with soprano Ruby Hughes and in chamber works with recorder player Dan Laurin.
