Trabaci – Opere per clavicembalo
Giovanni Maria Trabaci (ca. 1575 – 1647) was (along with Ascanio Mayone) the leading representative of the neapolitan School of keyboard players and composers shortly after 1600. He was an important precursor and contemporary of Girolamo Frescobaldi. This CD contains a selection of pieces from Libro I and II (1603 and 1615).

Jérôme Dhoée (extrait d’une lettre du 15. 4. 2023)
„… pour le passionné de clavecin dix-septième … , un disque essentiel que j’écoute et ré-écoute avec un plaisir renouvelé.“
Sèbastian Holzbauer („Muse baroque“, 2011)
„Tout au long de ce récital, Lydia Maria Blank, discrète et virtuose à la fois, sachant faire sonner à merveille un instrument multicolore et jubilatoire, insistant sans violence sur les contrastes dans les tempi et les effets de textures, d’une lisibilité remarquable dans le contrepoint, accompagne cette redécouverte de celui qu’elle espère faire reconsidérer comme bien plus qu’un simple précurseur de Frescobaldi, ce qu’elle démontre avec conviction et brio.„
Stephen Midgley (Amazon, 27.03.2015)
„Immediately evident from the very first notes is the tonal beauty of the harpsichord…. Its sound is beautifully captured in the recording and, still more importantly, Ms Blank is clearly a master of baroque keyboard style with an individual, inventive and highly communicative approach throughout the twenty works offered here.“
Johan van Veen (www.musica-dei-donum.org, 2011)
„Trabaci’s music isn’t that well represented on disc, and considering his historical importance and the quality of his music, this release is very welcome. And as the playing and recording are first-rate there is every reason to strongly recommend this production.“
Daniel K.S. Walden (Early Music, April 2014)
„… Her sense of timing is impeccable, particularly in her recording of Io mi son giovinetta; the ornaments and diminutions are delightful in the Gagliarda Quinta Cromatica à 5, detta la Trabacina… she deserves both attention and praise for her work.“
