Swedish baroque music - Suite by Johan Helmich Roman
on: October 21, 2006, 10:14:56 PM
I want to post these pieces because of mainly two reasons;
The first, as always, to hear you opinion about it. Uncensored critisism welcome....
The second, maybe even more important this time, is that I would like people all over the place to get a glimpse of the "father of Swedish music", Johan Helmich Roman (1694 - 1758). Wrote a lot of nice music of course, and among others 12 suites for the clavichord/harpsichord. Sadly enough, imo, it is very seldom played nowadays, even in Sweden (and of course more or less never ever outside our boarders). I myself have a vague but honest intention of doing a real studio recording some day of the twelve, but..WeŽll see...
I post two of the suites here, nr 2 in D-major and nr 5 in g-minor. They both consist of typically short movements (1-3 minutes).
The recordings was made in a couple of hours in the concert hall of Royal college of Music in Stockholm, and recording engineer and helping me with the microphones was, as always, my good friend and colleague "hiroshi" (same as my Messiaen recordings, that is)
Nr 2 Dmajor, five movements.
(first four movements attached)
