“As the progenitor of a style whose influence more or less came to define the in- strumental music of the High Baroque, Arcangelo Corelli (1653 – 1713) occupies a position in music history as unenviable as it is to his great credit. Just what made Corelli’s style seem strikingly novel to his contemporaries is a tricky question. To be sure, his standardization and popularization of certain formal tropes – most notably the succession of movement types in Sonate da Camera and Sonate da Chiesa – was a significant part of what his followers considered the ‘Corellian’ manner. But Corelli’s actual compositional style, his way of organizing musical thoughts into phrases and motives, is fundamentally derived from the expressive capabilities of his chosen instrument, the violin. Certain melodic patterns used to modulate and to effect sequences (e.g., chains of sevenths and fifths) basically derive from specificities of violin technique that amplify an instrument with origins primarily in dance music into one that in Corelli’s hands, could imitate the rise and fall of the sung and spoken human voice. This tension between idiomatically in- strumental techniques and the evocation of the voice is the defining characteristic of Corelli’s style throughout all his surviving works and would establish the “Roman School” as the supreme measure of musical taste for generations.

The spectacular crossover album one of the most unconventional and most versatile performers of early music – Hille Perl and his trio play and improvise with electro-acoustic instruments and explore an original repertoire ranging from Renaissance and Baroque music to music of the legendary Jazz artist Charlie Haden. The artist will present Born To Be Mild live soon in Spain.

Hille Perl is one of the most successful artists of the viola da gamba and a brilliant and original musician who is not afraid to discover new worlds of sounds and musical territories. After experiencing as part of the rock band Santanas Lee, “Dead Poets”, Hille Perl and his daughter Martha Perl now play the electro-acoustic viola da gamba for the first time on a disk with the lutenist Lee Santana (who plays electric guitar).

The artists explore an original repertoire that includes compositions and improvisations of pieces of renaissance and baroque periods of Diego Ortiz, Marin Marais, Tobias Hume, Antoine Forqueray, Lee Santana himself and jazz legends such as Charlie Haden, among others.

A repertoire spanning seven centuries, providing new and spectacular sounds and instrumental colors, Hille Perl transforms the viola da gamba in a truly timeless instrument.

Hille Perl is the most successful viola da gamba player of our time. Now she has found a fabulous combination of musician friends for her new Handel album: Dorothee Mields, one of the best baroque sopranos, along with lutenist Lee Santana and the redoubtable La Folia Barockorchester. The repertoire chosen includes Handel’s Cantata “Tra le fiamme,” while the rarely recorded “cantata spagnuola” and the cantata “La bianca rosa” are combined with two chaconnes, the famous hornpipe and other smaller pieces. An impressive recording full of musical colour, dynamism, virtuosity and compositional diversity.
