Two recent ECM discs with Stephen Stubbs’ new ensemble Teatro Lirico and Rolf Lislevand with vocals by Arianna Savall.
NOTE: All of the music from this program is found on two recent releases.
Both of the albums featured on today's program are from the great German independent label, ECM, and can be found on www.iclassics.com.
Coming up on ECM, Tigran Mansurian's choral work Ars Poetica will be released on June 27th, and we can look forward to John Holloway's recording of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas on baroque violin in October.
I. Nuove Musiche (ECM 1922--B0005070-02)
This disc follows the traditional early Baroque practice of improvisation, as Rolf Lislevand (archlute, baroque guitar, theorbo) and his ensemble provide improvisations on early 17th century works. Arianna Savall is the vocalist and also plays triple harp.

II. Teatro Lirico (ECM 1893--B0005923-02)
Chitarrone and baroque guitar virtuoso Stephen Stubbs created the ensemble Teatro Lirico to explore the musical evolution from the medieval to the modern world. On this disc, he looks at both the remarkable "La Folia" theme as it played out throughout the 17th century, and the evolution of the Italian sonata.
