Music reviews of La Pellegrina

Music Review: Lush Medici Music
Rating: 5 Stars

I've always been a Gabrieli fan and, as a result, thought Venice was the only place that big, rich, sonorous, multi-choir music was being produced. Boy was I ever wrong! This Florentine music, part of the Medici wedding ceremony of 1589, is huge and beautiful. It is the musical germ of what led to Grand Opera, though less well-known than it should be. It was composed by the super-stars of the day, Luca Marenzio, Cristofano Malvezzi, and others. There are several recordings that came out since the 60's and this is the newest. The older versions are all out of print or very expensive. This version is more compact, and this would be my only criticism. There is a tendency nowadays to do early music at a rapid tempo in a lilting way. That's great for the fast movements and dance tunes, but I rather prefer heavy polychoral harmonies to float more gently and even ponderously, as in the 7-choir penultimate piece here. The Van Nevel version is more appealing in this regard. That said, I feel this is a wonderful entry into big Renaissance music. Maestro Sempe has given an elaborate introductory interview on the second disc which opens the music to a wider audience. The solo singing is very fresh and improvisatory, and the ensemble work is well-coordinated. Above all, this is music worth hearing. It stirs the soul, it is that wonderful combination of simple yet strong by its contrasting harmonies and multiple instrumental combinations. It's affordable and well-done. Highly recommended!

Description of La Pellegrina

"In this 400th anniversary year of the first great opera (Monteverdi's Orfeo), it's good to be reminded whence that art sprang...These live performances are exuberant, clean, and stylish, and convey well the flavour of an opulent but refined celebration in sound. Presentation is admirably thorough, and a bonus CD contains helpful interviews with Sempé." -- The Sunday Times

Rarely recorded, this Pellegrina by Skip Sempé is the only version on the market! Includes a bonus CD with interviews of Skip Sempé.
First CD of the Capriccio Stravagante Renaissance Orchestra for Paradizo, with the famous Collegium Vocale Gent.
