Our Take

GUILLERMO TURINA / EUGENIA BOIX / TOMOKO MATSUOKA – Giacomo Facco: Master Of Kings

"Be still, my beating Baroque heart! The trio of Turina, Boix, and Matsuoka have gifted us with a delightful romp through the mind of the forgotten genius Giacomo Facco. In an era dominated by the likes of Vivaldi and Handel, Facco's compositions have been unjustly overlooked, until now.

From the moment the needle drops on the first track, "Overture in D major," you are transported back to the lavish courts of 18th-century Europe. Turina's masterful conducting brings Facco's vibrant orchestrations to life, while Boix's angelic vocals soar above the intricate tapestries of sound, weaving a compelling narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Matsuoka's delicate touch on the harpsichord adds an extra layer of whimsy to the proceedings, elevating Facco's compositions to new heights of brilliance. Tracks like "Concerto grosso Op. 1 No. 9" and "Sinfonia for 2 Violins and Continuo" showcase Facco's versatility as a composer, blending Italian sophistication with French charm in a way that is utterly enchanting.

In a world oversaturated with the same tired interpretations of the Baroque repertoire, Turina, Boix, and Matsuoka offer a fresh perspective on a criminally overlooked composer. Giacomo Facco may have been a Master of Kings, but with this album, he becomes a master of our hearts."

Overall, this album gets a solid 8.5 out of 10 on the Pitchfork scale.
