Pour passer la melancolie
Price 14.57 - 26.12 USD
Keyboard virtuoso Andreas Staier presents Pour passer la melancolie (to pass the melancholy), a unique program of French Baroque harpsichord music. The works presented here are not simply compositions in deeply sorrowful or expressive registers, but also discourses in sound on vanity, art and music itself. Whether the composer luxuriates in melancholic disorder or attempts to remedy it, there is but a fine line here between the vanity of the world and the artist"s glory. In his readings of Froberger, Fischer and Clerambault, Staier distils the fruits of this sophisticated aesthetic blend.
