Julian PerkinsAbout
In the late 17th century, all roads really did lead to Rome for the aspiring musician. There, wealthy aristocrats-turned-priests and Catholic nobility from across Europe vied for cultural status through artistic patronage. In particular, the young Pietro Ottoboni (1667–1740) reigned supreme among patrons of music, supporting among others Caldara and Albinoni, Alessandro Scarlatti and his son Domenico, and Handel, all of whom inspired and were inspired by one another. Musical gatherings of the time – called conversazione – often featured dramatic cantatas as well as virtuoso instrumental showpieces such as the works featured on this album.
Recalling this fertile musical era, these entertaining vocal works are performed with aplomb, interspersed with virtuosic harpsichord works performed to perfection by Perkins.
With this, the first in a series of conversazione recordings, Sounds Baroque celebrates the passion, theatricality and sheer variety of music from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Critical acclaim:
“Countertenor Andrew Radley seized his opportunities, with strongly projected singing” - Opera magazine
Julian Perkins is “a leader in the new generation of keyboard virtuosi.” - Cambridge Early Music
