Hughes De Courson's "O'stravaganza, Fantasy on Vivaldi and the Celtic Music of Ireland" is a captivating fusion of Baroque elegance and Celtic charm, released on January 1, 2001, under Warner Classics. This 58-minute journey through time and tradition showcases De Courson's virtuosity and innovative spirit, blending the timeless compositions of Antonio Vivaldi with the lively, evocative melodies of Irish folk music.
Each track is a masterful reinterpretation, from the lively "O'stravaganza" inspired by Vivaldi's Sinfonia, RV 168, to the hauntingly beautiful "Berceuse de Gráinne pour Diarmait," drawn from Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus, RV 608. De Courson's arrangements breathe new life into Vivaldi's works, infusing them with the rhythmic vitality and lyrical richness of Celtic music. Standout pieces like "Ceol Cuàine (Dances of the Wolves)" and "Il duello" highlight the dynamic interplay between Baroque and Celtic influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
With its rich tapestry of sounds and styles, "O'stravaganza" is a testament to Hughes De Courson's artistic vision and his ability to bridge centuries and cultures. Whether you're a fan of classical music, Celtic folk, or simply great compositions, this album offers a delightful and engaging listening experience.
