Author: Fabrice Fitch
Here at last is the sequel to the previous offering from I Fagiolini and Concordia, “All the King’s Men” (3/97). This time we travel to France, Germany and Italy, and the results are as appealing as before: these spirited performances articulate both text and music in a clear and attractive manner. In the French repertory I Fagiolini successfully take up the challenge of emulating the Ensemble Clement Janequin’s masterful approach to text-projection, and their softer sound and slightly more relaxed approach (try Frere Thibault) will please those who find the French ensemble too rough. Even in such a well-known piece as Le chant des oyseaulx they find new, delightful inflexions. The German selections are rather less well known (or at any rate less often recorded) than the French, but just as convincingly dispatched: the pieces by Senfl, Othmayr and Isaac are well worth discovering. Isaac’s arrangement of J’ay pris amours (performed here by Concordia) reminds us just how much of a virtuoso contrapuntist he was.
In common with its companion volume, the disc aims to represent the sheer diversity of early sixteenth-century secular music: diversity of mood and content, and of possible relations between voices and instruments. This anthological ambition is the set’s most conspicuous success, and carries the disc forward even when individual items or details appear to miss the mark (the concluding madrigal by Rore strikes me as too slow, and more generally the Italian selection is the least satisfying of the three). Bearing this in mind, it will be interesting to see which direction I Fagiolini choose to take in future. The sound-recording, immediate and close, is well up to Metronome’s usual standard, and the booklet is well laid-out and presented, though I would have welcomed the opportunity to accord individual contributions the praise they deserve.'
