Canto a Mi Caballero

Skip Seme brings a unique blend of irreverence and virtuosity to his latest album, "Capriccio Stravagante: Canto A Mi Caballero." A master of the harpsichord, Seme weaves together a tapestry of sounds that is equal parts playful and profound. From the opening notes of "Fantasia II" to the closing strains of "Gallarda Napolitana," Seme's skill and imagination are on full display. His deft touch and exquisite feel for phrasing make each track a journey in its own right, taking listeners on a whirlwind tour of 17th-century Europe. But what truly sets Seme apart is his sense of humour. Tracks like "Pavaniglia Amorosa" and "Canzon Francese" are rife with unexpected twists and turns, keeping the listener on their toes and always guessing what will come next. It's a delightfully cheeky touch that adds an extra layer of enjoyment to an already stunning body of work. In a world where the harpsichord is often relegated to the realm of dusty old manuscripts and stuffy concert halls, Seme breathes new life into the instrument, infusing it with a freshness and vitality that is truly infectious. "Capriccio Stravagante: Canto A Mi Caballero" is a triumph of creativity and craftsmanship, and a must-listen for anyone with an ear for the unconventional.
