Customer Reviews of Court and Dance Music from the Renaissance and Early Baroque
An interesting record of historic organ before restoration Having read the two customer reviews, I find myself in between the extremes. While Lena Jacobson does show a penchant for the more astringent and reedy stops, I cannot agree that the sound is shrill and aggravating. I found it quite interesting, and she displayed every facet of the potential sound. The Fredriksborg organ was rebuilt in the 1980s and there is a disc illustrating its mellower side on Marco Polo records. Nevertheless, I would be loth to surrender this recording. I find the clacking of the mechanical action and the occasionally asthmatic sound rather charming. The selections made by Jacobson are winning and the performances are never dull.
Glorious organ playing
This is early keyboard playing at its best! I especially admire the artist's remarkably keen sense of rhythm and expression. These little pieces which can often sound dull in the hands of other players acquire a new life, no doubt due to Ms. Jacobson's vivid musicianship and insights into Baroque musical rhetoric, as mentioned in the cover-text. To my mind, her performance of this music sounds more like powerful speech and drama than music-as-such. I just love the fantastic sounds of this unique chamber organ, even though one or two tracks present us with sounds that are unfamiliar to our ears and perhaps best characterized as "rich", to employ Michael Palin's apt description of the smell of the durian fruit! Ms. Jacobson has very successfully pulled the right stops - we get to hear lots of tantalizing combinations of early organ sounds, especially the typical Renaissance reed stops! In fact, the whole thing sounds more like a small Renaissance band than the hands and feet of one single musician. I discovered Lena Jacobson only recently - I bought her recording of a selection of Buxtehude's organ works released by deutsche harmonia mundi-BMG. I think this must be the best Buxtehude organ CD to date. Very, very powerful and colorful organ playing! I have to say that compared to these dramatic and virtuoso interpretations of preludes and chorales, most of the competition (such as Vogel) sounds dull and run-of-the-mill. I strongly recommend the Court and Dance Music CD as well as the Buxtehude!
shrill and unlistenable
If you didn't already know this music was performed on "the 1610 Essaias Compenius Organ at the Frederiksborg Castle" in Denmark, there wouldn't be much on Amazon's page to warn you. I love Renaissance dance music, but on this album the tunes are rendered shrill and agonizing to listen to by the squawking, clacking, buzzing organ, which on some tracks sustains a single note throughout the entire track, sounding like an oven timer. This CD just arrived today. I listened to it once, will never listen to it again. A complete waste of money. I'm incredibly disappointed.
