Editorial Reviews

Unlike all my other projects, Parthenia captured my interest long before having the opportunity to discover the high quality of its music. The wedding between Elizabeth Stuart and Frederick V, which was only the beginning of a happy love story, could not have deserved a better documentation than this excellent collection of harpsichord works. While navigating through this intriguing and wonderful world of Parthenia's music, I carried the young princess in my head and in my heart, imagining her experiencing with great intensity and grace all sorts of feelings, from the exuberance of the galliards to the deepest melancholy of the pavans. She loved Frederick, but had to separate in her heart from her mother. She had to leave her homeland but was sure to find her home in her husband. So far, Parthenia is the most romantic repertoire I had the opportunity to work on, and it does not cease to amaze me. Alina Rotaru

Parthenia, or the Maydenhead of the first musicke that was ever printed for the Virginalls is perhaps the most important early publication of English keyboard music. It was first published either late 1612 or early 1613 and, as its title indicates, was the first printed collection of keyboard music to appear in England. The mastermind behind Parthenia was the engraver William Hole, who conceived it as a wedding gift to Princess Elizabeth Stuart (the second child and eldest daughter of James VI and I) and Frederick V, Elector Palatine of the Rhine. The extravagant wedding, whose costs almost bankrupted King James, took place on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1613; stage plays, musical performances, mock naval battles on the Thames, and fireworks were included in the festivities accompanying the ceremony.

5.0 out of 5 stars quite wonderful
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
This has gotten better with repeated listening. It falls into that category art that contains much that is subtile , ultra refined, the most nuanced of gestures and inflections. This artist is more than capable with this language and the recording and instrument are remarkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frühe Kompositionen aus England auf dem Cembalo
Reviewed in Germany on January 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
Nach bislang zwei herausragenden Aufnahmen mit Cembalowerken von Froberger und Sweelink nun eine Produktion mit Kompositionen aus der ersten Sammlung von Virginalmusik aus England "Parthenia" in gewohnt virtuoser und höchst individueller Art.
Alina Rotaru ist eine junge Vertreterin der Schule für Alte Musik und ihre "historische" Aufführungspraxis, die sich auf Leitbilder wie Nicolaus Harnoncourt und vor allem Gustav Leonhard bezieht und in gleichermaßen studierter wie musikantischer Weise die Musik in ihren historischen Kontext stellt, was Auswirkungen auf Instrumentierung, Melodik, Tempowahl und Dynamik und somit zu einer differenzierten Sicht Alter Musik geführt hat.
Mithilfe intensiver musikalischer Forschung und persönlicher Intuition wird jede Komposition neu gedeutet und in möglichst historischer Form interpretiert.
Alina Rotaru gelingt es, die Lebendigkeit und Vielfalt der Werke Byrds, Gibbons und Bulls auf dem Nachbau eines historischen Cembalos so klingen zu lassen, wie sie vermutlich in der Entstehungszeit gedacht waren.
Ein beeindruckendes Hörerlebnis ...
