Fred Jacobs - Robert de Visee: Confidences Galantes (2013)

Posted By: tirexiss

Date: Sept. 25, 2019

Metronome announces a new CD and download release of “Confidences Galantes” of the music of Robert de Visée for theorbo performed by Fred Jacobs.
Robert de Visée was a court musician and composer for Louis XIV and a member of the King’s personal chamber ensemble “La Chambre du Roi” along with Francois Couperin, Marin Marais, and Antoine Forqueray. In 1716 he published his “Pièces de Théorbe” after more than thirty years service in the king’s service. He is documented as performing at the royal bedside. The theorbo was the largest instrument of the lute family in fashion at the end of the 17th century. Lavish, dramatic looking, the instrument even today looks somewhat outlandish in the concert hall. But its rich bass range was the cutting edge of instrument technology at the period and it took a key part in continuo ensemble in early baroque composition. The instrument that Fred Jacobs plays was reconstructed from contemporary drawings and one surviving instrument by Michael Lowe the well known English luthier.
This disc is dedicated to Gusta Goldschmidt, a teacher of Fred Jacobs and an inspiration to a whole generation of early music performers in the Netherlands and around the world. For example she performed with distinction (indeed stole the show) at the first Lute Society of Great Britain summer school in 1967!
This release is the second in a series devoted to De Visée. The first “Pièces de Théorbe” METCD1072 was released in 2008 and received enthusiastic reviews: “an absolutely splendid recording” Early Music and in France “10” from Classica – Répertoire.
Fred Jacobs is a leading performer of the French theorbo. His discs and recitals as a soloist and accompanist have been well reviewed. He teaches the lute and the theorbo at the Amsterdam Conservatoire. In addition to these solo releases by Metronome, he also appears in the Locke Consort recordings of Matthew Locke released by Metronome
