Spiritillo Mediterraneo
Violinist Cristina Prats Costa makes her solo recording debut with Spiritillo Mediterraneo, a vivid portrait of 17th- and early 18th-century music shaped by the cultures of the Mediterranean. Taking its title and inspiration from Andrea Falconieri's Il Spiritillo Brando, the album treats the spiritillo — a mischievous, animating sprite — as a metaphor for Baroque imagination: a world of invention, improvisation, and richly ornamented dialogue. The programme, featuring music by Falconieri, Matteis, Sanz, Murcia, Nebra, Biber, and others, casts the Mediterranean not as a boundary but as a crossroads where Italian virtuosity, Spanish rhythmic fire, and French elegance converge, coloured throughout by the distinctive rhythmic vitality of castanets. The Spanish repertoire appears in Prats Costa's own arrangements, lending the album a deeply personal dimension shaped by her Spanish heritage and years performing across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Throughout, ornamentation serves not as decoration but as storytelling, resulting in a recording of rhythmic energy, intimacy, and colour, guided by a spirit that is curious, agile, and alive.
