This unique recording re-introduces Rinaldo Alessandrini as a solo
harpsichordist and reviews the concepts of chaconne and passacaglia in the most
eclectic and captivating way.

This recording is the first album for years featuring Rinaldo Alessandrini as a
harpsichordist and not as a conductor. This is a highly interesting recording
presenting an eclectic programme that reviews the concepts of chaconne and
passacaglia over music history, from Frescobaldi to Ligeti. On this album
Rinaldo Alessandrini recorded a piece composed by himself - Déraisonnable
beauté - alongside masterpieces of famous composers such as Handel, Couperin
and Purcell. The chaconne and the passacaglia are dances based on the principle
of repetition and variation, producing in the listener a kind of giddiness
combined with a subtle hypnotic pleasure perfectly translated in this recording.

Rinaldo Alessandrini is not only a sought-after conductor but also a renowned
recitalist on the harpsichord, fortepiano and organ, and he is considered one of
the most authoritative interpreters of Monteverdi worldwide. His recordings
include not only Italian music, but also Bach and his contemporaries and this
new Chaconne release is a great example of such. Rinaldo Alessandrini has
received many European awards for his recordings and his work with his Concerto
Italiano.
