Product description
In their latest offering, the RETROSPECT TRIO, led by the enigmatic Matthew Halls, takes on Purcell's Twelve Sonatas In Three Parts with a boldness that can only be described as preposterous. From the opening strains of Sonata I in D major, it's clear that this isn't going to be your grandmother's Purcell. Halls' fearless approach to interpretation is on full display here, with daring tempos and unexpected dynamic shifts that will leave even the most seasoned baroque music aficionados scratching their heads. The trio's playing is as tight as a drum, with each member displaying an impressive technical prowess that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. But it's not all serious business with the RETROSPECT TRIO - there's a mischievous sense of humour that runs throughout the album, with playful flourishes and unexpected detours that keep the listener on their toes. In tracks like Sonata IV in A minor, the trio's irreverent approach to Purcell's stately compositions is nothing short of delightful. We're talking cheeky little tempo changes, sly nods to other musical genres, and a general sense of mischief that sets this album apart from your run-of-the-mill baroque recordings. Overall, RETROSPECT TRIO / MATTHEW HALLS' take on Purcell's Twelve Sonatas In Three Parts is a wild ride that's as thrilling as it is confounding. If you're looking for a traditional take on Purcell, look elsewhere - but if you're up for a bit of musical adventure, this is the album for you.
