Al Ayre EspanolConductor
Eduardo Lopez BanzoAbout
Under the title I Vanni Occulti, ensemble Al Ayre Español, led by maestro Eduardo López Banzo, offers us its personal vision of Handel’s Sonatas, op.2. The phrase comes from the oratorio Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (The Triumph of Time and Disillusion, 1707).
The reference to this aria is not anecdotal, because Sonata no.1 in this op.2 contains references to this music – an aspect that, hardly surprisingly, constitutes a characteristic element of the composition technique of the maestro from Halle. Over the course of his life, Handel composed 20 trio sonatas, 12 of which were published in London in two different collections: six sonatas were published in 1733 as op.2 (HWV 386-391) and another seven printed in 1739 as op.5 (HWV 396-402).
In a disguised allusion to the vanitas allegory and the fleeting passage of time, Al Ayre Español presents, just three years after its recording of op.5, an introspective version of op.2, which completes and, at the same time, complements the group’s first rendition of Handel’s trio sonatas. The two recordings form a single project that offers the listener a passionate and impassioned, southern and Mediterranean version of this exquisite chamber music.
