There are not many professional recorder players
who could sustain a full programme of music
drawn from the early to the high Baroque periods,
but the Brazilian-born Clea Galhano, now a United
States resident, is certainly one of them. Demonstrating
the quality of her musicianship throughout at
the Wigmore Hall on 11 September she surprised
many by planning and executing a programme which
had Johann Sebastian Bach as the youngest composer!
It was both instructive and musically worthwhile
to hear the kind of music from those generations
that preceded the master, especially in such
excellent accounts, admirably accompanied by
the Dutch-born harpsichordist Jacques Ogg.
Nor was this programme filled out, as it were,
by mere Period music, for there was not one
piece in the entire recital that was not musically
valuable. One of the highlights of the first
half was an impressive Chaconne by Johann Heinrich
Schmelzer, dating from 1664, followed by some
brilliantly expressive pieces by Couperin and
a delightful Corelli Sonata.
Bach and Telemann dominated the second half,
drawing from these gifted player’s performances
of genuine eloquence and virtuosity.
