Jean-Henry d'Anglebert - Suite d moll (1689)

Jean-Henry d'Anglebert (1629 - 1691) - the great 17th. century claveciniste - the profound poet with a truly nimble hand for unending strings of ornaments and never-ending beauty in his expression!! Probably quite a humble 'court harpsichordist', Lully's chief continuo player was nevertheless given the Privilege Royal to publish a Livre of Pieces de Clavecin, in 1689 - dedicated "A son Altesse Serenissime Madame la Princeße de Conty, Fille du Roy" - This was great honour for the elderly musician - in a time, when young 'upstarts' a la François Couperin were breathing in the neck the ailing and visually challenged colleague. It is clear that d'Anglebert was highly appreciated - and, although his music was technically challenging, he saw well to it to sprinkle in a befitting collection of Lully opera movement, as well as 'air ancien' arrangements with his own pieces. The four present suites in the 1689 Livre represent the ultimate within the genre - and (honestly), hardly surpassed by far more ambitious men a short generation later. Time stamps: 0:09 Prelude 05:46 Allemande 09:36 Courante 10:59 Double de la Courante 12:26 (Seconde) Courante 14:32 Sarabande grave, Lentement 17:16 (2e) Sarabande, Lentement 20:18 Gaillarde Lentement 25:00 Gavotte 26:33 Menuet 27:44 Gigue 30:18 Acknowledgements As for the instrument: This is the FF - g''' double that I built (..from scratch), in Oslo, back in 1971 - in a 'late-Flemish style' - exceedingly inspired by Martin Skowroneck. For this recording, it was tuned in an agreeable 'almost mean-tone' temperament to suit a late 17th cent. d-minor environment. The tuning pitch is 396Hz - where the instrument sounds the most balanced. As for the video: Recorded 'at home' on 18th of April 2021 - with my Leica M240P - with two lenses: an Elmarit 24 ASPH and the classic, eight-element Summicron 35. Audio went through a Zoom H6 with it's built in microphone - and was tweaked in Audacity - and all mixed in iMovie on my MacBook Pro. This video recording pretends, by no means, a broadcast quality - and is also not a 'TV-program' as such - but is an honest sharing of some of the finest music I know!
