I love your use of ornamentation in this performance. It is detailed, rich and vibrant in the Sarabande, emphasizing the beauty of the melody, and complementary to the decoration of the Basilica. The overall effect of both the Sarabande and the Bourree is regal, with a great sense of occasion, telling their story so well. I love the way the sound becomes part of the Basilica, as if this music had been playing here for hundreds of years. The Basilica and the music become one as I listen. It is a gorgeous performance Alberto, from the heart, with a strong feeling of spontaneity, another jewel in the crown of your Weiss recordings. BRAVO!!! I would love to be able to visit this Basilica! I'm sure this music would be playing as I walked in the door!! Oh well!!
The sound of your Baroque lute in this Basilica is remarkable! You play this magnificent music to the glory of God in this magnificent, ancient place. Your interpretation is majestic and uplifting, full of wonder. The sound and tone of the beautiful Sarabande is glorious, while the rustic Bourree is wonderfully human. I can hear and feel feet beat the ground as peasants dance joyfully, celebrating the life of Christ. It is gorgeous to hear. Thank you for all the beautiful fresco details! The portraits have a pious Romanesque austerity in their expression and style, which I recognize from earlier videos you have made in the churches of Lombardy. The scale of this Basilica relative to yourself is amazing to see! To play in such a place must be an extraordinary experience. The sound of your lute fills the space entirely, I haven't heard it sound quite like this before. It's all fabulous Alberto, thank you, and congratulations on your magnificent performance! Bravo!!!!!! I look forward to Part 2! :)
The combination of the human and the Divine in this Basilica is a fantastic thing to hear and see. The acoustics are grand and glorious. Thanks for visiting Como to make your superb video Alberto. It is wonderful to hear and see you play in such a spectacular place.
