Info zu Valentini: Recorder Sonatas, Op. 5, La Villeggiature

Roberto Valentini (1671–1747) was born in Leicester and most likely remained in England until his 21st birthday, when he emigrated to Italy, settling in Rome.

A multi-instrumentalist, Valentini began his career in the papal city as a violinist, cellist and oboist, but is best known as a composer for the recorder, an instrument at which he excelled as a performer.

After an initial and almost total adherence to the Corellian style, he gradually began to embrace the sonata collections being published in northern Europe and the stylistic features of a nascent galant style. His extant musical output consists solely of instrumental music, primarily dedicated to the recorder.

Vaentini was also active as a recorder pedagogue, and he capitalised on the popularity the instrument was enjoying in his day among amateur musicians. As an expatriate who maintained close contact with his homeland, he may have even imported and marketed English recorders in his adopted country. There were two great makers active in London at the time – Peter Bressan and Thomas Stanesby – so copies of their instruments were selected for use on this recording.

The 12 Recorder Sonatas Op.5 were published in London between 1715 and 1720, in a style perfectly idiomatic for the recorder and aimed at the vast public of amateurs, taking Italian sonatas for violin and bass, particularly Corelli’s Opus 5, as a model. The first three of Valentini’s sonatas exhibit the solemn “Sonata da Chiesa” style, with the later sonatas containing more graceful, dance-like movements typical of the French-derived “PieÌces de CaracteÌre”.

The 6 Sonatas for 2 Flutes “La Villeggiatura” appear among the five handwritten volumes of recorder music dating to the first half of the 18th century housed in the Sezione Musicale of the Biblioteca Palatina in Parma. The sonatas possess traits indicating a likely publication date of 1730, and the collection was popular, thanks to Valentini’s skill at combining brilliant, pleasant writing with relative ease of performance in fast tempos – satisfying for both performers and audience – and delightful, expressive melody with many written-out suggestions for diminution of cadences in the slow sections.

Cappella Musicale Enrico Stuart

Cappella Musicale Enrico Stuart
In 1998 Romeo Ciuffa and Giancarlo delle Chiaie founded CAPELLA MUSICALE ENRICO STUART (C.M.E.S), a group with a changeable cadre specialized in a Seventeenth and Eighteenth century repertoire in which wind instruments take centre stage. The ensemble takes its name from an important personality who lived during difficult times in British and European history, Enrico Carlo Edoardo Stuart, duke of York, son of Giacomo the Third Stuart, heir to the throne and brother of Carlo Edoardo, who tried various times, without success, to retake the throne. The Stuart family, of Catholic faith, chose Rome for their exile and formed a close relationship with the papal courts. Enrico, already decorated as Cardinal by Pope Benedict XIV, became Bishop of Frascati (our base) which he enriched with a continuous cultural project resulting in the founding or the ‘aboracense’ library. The library contains various musical scores including a Magnificat by N. Porpora, commissioned by Enrico Stuart himself, benefactor and patron of the arts of Frascati for more than thirty years. Although initially C.M.E.S. was formed by a choir and a varying instrumental ensemble, the group is now a mainly instrumental ensemble which occasionally presents, depending on the programme, a number of soloist voices. Amongst our most significant representations are Dido and Aeneas by H. Purcell, Il Festino del giovedì grasso avanti cena by A. Banchieri, Messa a 4 voci, Magnificat, Il ballo dele Ingrate, Tirsi e Clori by C. Monteverdi, Stabat Mater by Pergolesi, witty poems and masses by G. P. da Palestrina. C.M.E.S.’ repertoire includes compositions (masses, hymns, motets, oratorios) by M. A. Charpentier, M. R. Delalande and De Brossard and instrumental and vocal music by the likes of Rameau, Lully, Vivaldi and Bach.
