HAYDN - La Passione
Symphonies 41, 49, 44
Arion
Chef invité : Gary Cooper
2009, EMCCD7769


« Dès la première répétition, nous dit le chef britannique Gary Cooper — l’un des plus éminents ambassadeurs actuels du clavecin et du pianoforte —, je savais que cet enregistrement serait spécial. En tentant de se rapprocher du monde sonore qu’a connu Haydn à Esterháza, où il disposait de forces instrumentales assez modestes, je crois qu’Arion s’est montré plus qu’à la hauteur ! Avec de l’esprit, de la musicalité, du style et de l’énergie à revendre, les musiciens de l’ensemble ont fait revivre toute la fraîcheur et la nouveauté de ces symphonies si merveilleuses et intenses. Il est évident à l’écoute qu’ils aiment chaque note de cette musique ! »

LETRA:

[Estribillo]

¡Ay, qué me abraso
de amor en la llama!
¡Qué dulce violencia!
¡Qué tierna regala!
Celestes incendios
al pecho motivan,
que anhela el tormento
que es gloria del alma.

[Recitado]

O guerra misteriosa
en la forma gloriosa,
vivamente contemplo
a quien erige templo,
ansiosa el alma mía,
remedio de mi ciega fantasía.

[Aria]

No deje de arder
mi fiel corazón;
será la ocasión
de mi merecer,
no, no deje de arder;
verá que en su fuego
la dicha halla luego
de mi padecer.

[Coplas]

1. Anime, amor, la llama
del celestial incendio,
seré en sus puras alas
glorioso fénix si renazco al cielo.

2. Avive la materia
mi amor y mi deseo,
prestando mis suspiros
al aire que voraz anima el fuego.

3. El corazón la ofrenda
será, pues el primero
fue quien al dueño mío
franqueó las puertas del humano templo.

[Grave]

Y en tan celestiales
divinos incendios,
al suave amoroso
suspiro que exhala,
repita mi pecho
su fiel consonancia.

Sebastián Durón (1660 - 1716). ¡Ay, qué me abraso de amor en la llama!

Braedon Hofmann, like many guitarists, had his roots in rock and roll leading him to undergraduate studies in Classical Guitar, Voice, and Composition. 
As a gigging and regular performer, Braedon was invited to guest masterclasses with the Montreal and California Guitar Trios, the Vida Guitar Quartet, and an invitation only workshop with Argentinian guitarist Dominic Miller (Sting’s guitar player), and countless popular music events. His musical immersion continued as a member of a Baroque ensemble during his undergraduate playing historical plucked strings. 
Prior to graduate studies on lute at Jacob’s School of Music under Nigel North, he received scholarships, awards, and participated in early music festivals such as The Rislov Foundation award, Early Music America’s “Young Performers Festival” and a scholarship to The Lute Society of America’s “Summer Festival”.
Besides working towards his master’s degree in Historical Performance, Braedon, with LLD® lute in hand, also approaches other musical forms with creativity and gusto, hoping to help thrust the lute into a broader contextual Renaissance. 
The passion for early music has led Braedon to be an active proponent of the lute around the country with The LSA’s Outreach Committee and French company Le Luth Doré®, seeking a greater awareness and exposure to local communities through volunteer demonstrations and a revitalized approach towards popular repertoire on historic instruments. 
Currently, Braedon also maintains a large private studio at a local music academy. He enjoys approaching teaching music in such a way that helps students develop a passion and appreciation of their own, with the hope that practicing and playing becomes a great pleasure.

I want to share music with the world, and more importantly with you as an individual. Thank you and rock on!
