Jacopo Peri, part II, 2023
This Week in Classical Music: September 4, 2023. Jacopo Peri and Florence. Last week we started the story of Jacopo Peri, an important but mostly forgotten composer. Before we get back to it, we’d like to mention a Florentine institution that was instrumental in the development of ideas that Peri followed in his work. This institution is called Camerata de’ Bardi, or Florentine Camerata. Count Giovanni de’ Bardi was a nobleman, writer, composer, and, in his younger years, a soldier. He was also an important patron of the arts and organized a society dedicated to the study of ancient Greek music in relation to the music of the day. That was in the 1570s and ‘80s, so we have to remember that the important music of the time was composed in the form of polyphony by the likes of Palestrina. We love his music, and that of Orlando Lasso or Tomás […]

Old-fashioned passion: Benjamin Godard's Dante
[…] just 12 years before Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande. But Dante is a well-made piece and Godard's handling of the orchestra, in his own way, is very notable; one of his major works was the dramatic symphony Tasso and it is this symphonic handling which is significant in Dante.The plot is, frankly, a bit of a farago. It takes the historical Dante (Edgaras Montvidas) and Beatrice (Veronique Gens) and creates something of a love triangle with Bardi (Jean-Francois Lapointe), so that Dante and Beatrice love each other but there are political reasons why they cannot marry and she is betrothed to Dante. The rather slow first two acts set the scenes, and act two ends with Dante and Beatrice pledging their love in a glorious love duet, before Dante is banished from Florence. In Act Three he goes to the tomb of Virgil and prays for inspiration, then in a dream […]
