Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Auréolé de son succès cinématographique et discographique avec Tous les matins du monde, le nom de Savall a dépassé le sacro-saint cercle des mélomanes avertis. Armé de sa viole, il a su également s'entourer de musiciens fidèles, animés de la même passion baroque, doués d'une science musicologique sans faille, réunis sous le vocable d'Hespèrion XX, devenu Hespèrion XXI, avec le changement de siècle. Titré "Ostinato", ce disque nous fait découvrir quelques joyaux de la musique ancienne : de petites pièces excédant rarement les six minutes, bourrées de charme, au jeu rythmique passionnant, surprenant parfois. Exception faite de Purcell et Pachelbel, les noms de compositeurs qui ornent cet album constitueront pour beaucoup une découverte. --Pierre Guillaume

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, as usual, Jan 23 2002
By A Customer
I have heard all of the Alia Vox releases and am hard pressed to recommend one over the other. "Ostinato" can proudly stand alongside the earlier releases; it's absolutely terrific with ingenious arrangements and more than exciting performances. My only complaint concerns Pachelbel's Kanon and Gigue. Perhaps I'm overly critical due to the overexposure this piece has been subjected in the last quarter century, but Savall and company take it at such a clip that it threatens (though doesn't quite succeed) in sapping it of its charm. Though I don't care for lethargic (read romantic) tempos where this piece is concerned, I also don't care for breakneck speeds in the guise of authenticity. However, this is too minor a complaint to even be taken into serious consideration. The recorded sound is ample and warm with just the right amount of reverberation to expand and not overwhelm these delightful miniatures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbe récital !, Jun 19 2007
By François Beaudoin "Narcisse Le Québécois" (Québec ( Ville fortifiée), Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   

Voici un Savall heureux, un Savall des beaux jours au niveau festif, qui contraste avec le Savall des dernières années, d'une tristesse désarmante, comme en témoigne les gravures «Alfons V», «Métamorphoses Fidei,» «Batailles et lamentis,» «Isabel I Reina de Castille».

Or la gravure ici commentée est festin auditif joyeux, un des meilleurs Savall.

Un beau voyage. Avec les mains véloces, aux accents funambules de Kraemer, Valetti, Plantier (Violons), de Cocset (Violoncelle) et de...Jordi Savall (Viole de gambe)

Écoutez pour voir Le Purcell : quelle furie quelle vigueur, coups d'achets qui voltigent en communion avec l'essentiel : la création d'un nouveau-né : Purcell revisité à la manière de virtuoses.

Pour ouvrir le Bal, quoi de mieux que Valente avec sa gaillarde napolitaine

Gravure d'exception !
