Francesco Tristano - On Early Music (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

We have known for a long time the versatility of Francesco Tristano and his blessed inability to choose between electro and early music. From album to album, the Luxembourg pianist builds a unique and enchanting discography that blurs the lines between genres and eras, where we come across both Jean-Sébastien Bach and Derrick May. With On Early Music, Tristano pays homage to the great English masters of the Virginalist period, a pivotal moment between the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Baroque era. Alongside works by John Bull, Peter Philips, Orlando Gibbons and John Bull, there are two compositions by the Italian Frescobaldi, to whom Tristano had already devoted the very beautiful disc Frescobaldi Dialogues (2007). We will never get tired of Tristano's playing, whose round and bouncy touch brings to the score an extra, almost jazzy vitality without ever distorting the subject. But the ultimate pleasure arises when the pianist improvises himself as a composer and sows here and there a few tribute titles to his elders. Somewhere between pastiche (Toccata, On Bull Galliard in D), arrangement for percussive piano (On ​​Girolamo Frescobaldi's Quattro correnti) and futuristic variation (On Cristobal by Morales Circumdederunt), Francesco Tristano commits here the most beautiful sacrilege!
