Robert de Visé, Suite for Guitar No. 9 in D minor

#Rarity #CulturalHeritage #Baroque #ClassicalGuitar #DeVisé #Andia #LuteMusic Discover the depth and passion of the Baroque era in Robert de Visé's Suite No. 9 in D minor, masterfully performed by classical guitar virtuoso Javier Andia. This music is more than just a collection of dances, but a complete dramatic poem where restrained melancholy coexists with fiery energy. Robert de Visé (c. 1655 – 1732/33) was a brilliant lutenist and composer of France's "Grand Séquence," whose music was admired by King Louis XIV himself. His suites, written for lute or theorbo, are now reimagined on the classical guitar, revealing a full range of emotions to the listener: from intimate lyricism to virtuosic brilliance. The key of D minor in the Baroque era was often associated with seriousness, noble sorrow, and drama. In this suite, you will hear de Visée reveal the character of this key through traditional dance forms: Allemande – a thoughtful and extended introduction, setting a focused, narrative tone. Courante – a lively, rhythmically sophisticated dance, full of inner movement. Sarabande – the emotional center of the cycle; slow, deep, and heartfelt, like a mournful monologue. Gavotte – a graceful and lively contrast, introducing an element of elegance and light. Minuet – a gallant and restrainedly graceful dance. The Gigue is a swift, technically complex finale, in which the drama of the D minor finds its stormy and virtuosic resolution. Javier Andia, with his characteristic aristocratic flair and attention to detail, reveals the architecture and rich palette of this music. His performance balances historical awareness with a vibrant, contemporary expressiveness, where each voice in the multi-part texture of lute music acquires clarity and significance.
