Description: | Legrenzi: Harmonia D'affetti Devoti Op. 3 is an album by Nova Ars Cantandi, released in 2021. The album is a classical 2-CD.
Giovanni Legrenzi was one of the most gifted and influential composers of his generation, playing a decisive
role in the establishment of Baroque style in northern Italy in the latter half of the 17th century. Drawing on
the example of Monteverdi, Harmonia dâ??affetti devoti for two, three, and four voices with organ bass, was
intended for liturgical use, but the sung texts depart entirely from tradition, being chosen to maximise the
expressive power of their musical settings. This world premiere recording reveals Legrenziâ??s extraordinary
melodic refinement, rhythmic vitality and perfect elegance, all designed to rouse listeners to feelings of
stupore et maraviglia (â??wonder and amazementâ??). - ..

Performed by Ivana Valotti (organ), Giovanni Acciai (conductor), and the acclaimed vocal ensemble Nova Ars Cantandi, this recording brings to life the expressive depth and spiritual intensity characteristic of Italian devotional music from the 17th century. The performers are renowned for their historically informed interpretations: Nova Ars Cantandi has received international praise for its refined sound and commitment to reviving lesser-known masterpieces; conductor Giovanni Acciai is celebrated as an expert in Renaissance and Baroque choral repertoire; organist Ivana Valotti is recognized for her sensitive artistry on period instruments. Released by Naxos, one of the world's leading classical music labels known for high-quality recordings at accessible prices, this album stands out both musically and artistically. |
