I realised quite early on in my performing career that audiences generally needed more help to “get inside” the beautiful obscure music I was discovering and if their appetite was to be fostered, a new dimension in the manner of presentation had to be found.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘Quite unexpectedly, I discovered it in some of the most obscure music I had hitherto worked with – duets and dialogues from the mouths of nymphs and shepherds, created for a court circle of nobility who thoroughly enjoyed adopting the manners and playfulness of what was regarded as suitable for “pastoral customs” from the ancient world of Arcadia.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘To revive this art-form meant urging my singers to adopt appropriate characters – lamenting nymphs, raunchy shepherds, hard-done by Goddesses or erotic Gods – and done with a degree of theatricality not yet seen in the “early music revival” of the 1970s. Performances were noted for their strait-laced manner – but now we had to step out and “be” someone, be playful and passionate. Early music was never quite the same after that!’\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis collection gathers together some of the most delectable of 17th century duets both from England and Italy. Any Emma Kirkby recording is an event, and this reissue, making its first appearance on CD, is no exception. Also issued on CD for the first time is Amorous Dialogues, the companion recording to Pastoral Dialogues. The extensive booklet includes the original notes, a new introduction by Anthony Rooley and full texts and translations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_4b3088c9-df3c-47ba-bf41-5b7e5d1a8144_480x480.png?v=1597936873\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROBERT JONES\u003cbr\u003eWhither runneth my sweetheart\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM CORKINE\u003cbr\u003eFly swift my thoughts; We yet agree\u003cbr\u003eJOHN DOWLAND\u003cbr\u003eSorrow stay\u003cbr\u003eDie not, before thy day\u003cbr\u003eMourn, day is with darkness fled\u003cbr\u003eROBERT JOHNSON\u003cbr\u003eAs I walked forth\u003cbr\u003e’Tis late and cold\u003cbr\u003eCharon, O Charon\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM LAWES\u003cbr\u003eCome, my Daphne, come away (Strephon \u0026amp; Daphne) (Dialogues)\u003cbr\u003eVulcan, O Vulcan, my love (Venus \u0026amp; Vulcan) (Dialogues)\u003cbr\u003eRADESCA DI FOGGIA\u003cbr\u003eNon miri il mio bel sole\u003cbr\u003eJACOPO PERI\u003cbr\u003eAl fonte, al prato\u003cbr\u003eANDREA FALCONIERI\u003cbr\u003ePerchè piangi, pastore\u003cbr\u003eSIGISMOND D’INDIA\u003cbr\u003eChe farai, Meliseo ∙ Qual fiera si fidel\u003cbr\u003eALESSANDRO GRANDI\u003cbr\u003eSurge propera amica mia\u003cbr\u003eSIGISMOND D’INDIA\u003cbr\u003eOdi quel rosignuolo\u003cbr\u003eGIOVANNI ROVETTA\u003cbr\u003eUccidetemi pur, bella tiranna\u003cbr\u003eTARQUINIO MERULA\u003cbr\u003eNo, ch’io non mi fido\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma Kirkby, soprano\u003cbr\u003eDavid Thomas, bass\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Rooley, lute\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DECCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32340433272919,"sku":"028948021437 - ETC","price":6.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/00028948021437-cover.jpg?v=1599853121","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/de-de\/products\/various-pastoral-dialogues-kirkby-thomas-rooley-jones","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
