"Lachrimae or Tears are the names of these pieces of music where Jadran Duncrumb's lute moans softly but very musically on a soft consort of violas: plucked and rubbed strings in the centre-low register, with surprisingly modern effects."
Amadeus, 01-6-2024Alberto Rasi, veronese, after his studies in Double Bass and Composition, studied Viola da Gamba and Violone at the Schola Cantorum Basel with Jordi Savall, and at the Conservatoire de Génève with Ariane Maurette.
Since 1978, taking advantage of his training as a Double Bass player, he began playing both the viola da gamba and violone, giving concerts and recordings with the most renowned groups.
In 1981 he co-founded Accademia Strumentale Italiana with the harpischordist Patrizia Marisaldi.
As soloist and with this ensemble he has given concerts throughout Europe and beyond. In 1992 he became Artistic Director of this group and he has recorded several CDs for the Stradivarius label of Milan and various others CD labels winning various prizes including: Diapason d’Or, 10 de Repertoire, Musica 5 Stars, Amadeus and the Midem Classical Award 2007 in the category, Early Music.
He is currently teaching viola da gamba at the Conservatory of Verona.
In 1999 he founded the Baroque Orchestra of Verona, Il Tempio Armonico, which he conducts from the violoncello, and with which he has recorded the complete orchestral music of the veronese Evaristo Felice Dall’Abaco.
Lachrimae or Tears are the names of these pieces of music where Jadran Duncrumb's lute moans softly but very musically on a soft consort of violas: plucked and rubbed strings in the centre-low register, with surprisingly modern effects.
Amadeus, 01-6-2024
This unique recording is based on the ideal performance configuration of this early 17th century music, with the music book lying open on a table and the performers arranged around it.

it is first of all the superlative lute of Jadran Duncrumb which impresses, both in the perfectly measured dissertations of the pavanes (magnificent Lachrimae gementes) and in the gaillardes played solo (The Earle of Essex His Galliard).
Diapason, 01-2-2024
...the resulting recorded sound is superior: The little band is more or less centrally placed in the sound stage, and each part is clearly presented. The solo lute pieces, such as The Earle of Essex Galiard, are exquisitely played by Jadran Duncumb and realistically recorded, letting us hear the beauty of his tone and taste. (...) The repertoire will be familiar to fans of Dowland's melancholy works. Nonetheless I highly recommend this disc for such listeners.
Fanfare Magazine, 01-1-2024
The Italian version differs here and there from the basic idea: they also play a piece (Lachrimae Tristes) without the lute, sometimes play pizzicato on the gambas and choose overall in terms of balance for a slightly too prominent role of the strings.
