    A Cure

A cure for melancholy, at least mine. Andreas Staier performances are as close to sublime as I ever expect to hear.

We in the British Isles know a thing or two about melancholy. Arguably it's partly brought on by our damp and foggy climate, and since the sixteenth century it's often been referred to as the "English Malady". Here in Andreas Staier's recording we have a Continental Baroque interpretation of melancholy, tied in with the Renaissance idea of vanitas. The cover of the album gives a good idea of what to expect: Giorgione's young man is in a reflective mood; perhaps he's meditating on the human condition, possibly brooding on the very meaning of life itself, and, eventually that which will come to all of us: Death.Andreas Staier provides a thought-provoking short essay to introduce the concept behind this programme, with some startling observations. For instance, he is of the opinion that the chaconne or passacaglia might be taken as tolling the bell of ineluctable fatality. You might have thought of the chaconne in more simplistic terms, but this interpretation certainly opens your ears.The pieces hold together, even though drawn from such distant cousins as Froberger and Clérambault; it's not all tombeaux, we also have the occasional stately courante and gigue thrown in too. The choice of temperament is possibly a make-or-break (depending on your ability to cope with octaves which aren't quite), but it certainly heightens the effect of anguish. The pitch is an unusual one, being at A=405, lower than conventional Baroque pitch but lending the instrument a deep sonority and enhancing the darker colours even further.Don't be put off by the thought that listening to this recording might be in any way enervating: It isn't. It's at once alluring and deceptive in its choice of temperament but above all, it provokes some reflective thoughts in the listener. Personally I can't stop listening to it!
