Naples is a place of longing, a metropolis of song, a city with a great Baroque operatic history, a melting pot of everything from Mediterranean folk music to the legendary Neapolitan canzonas made world-famous by tenors such as Mario Lanza or Beniamino Gigli. Christina Pluhar, who has already explored many musical worlds with her ensemble L’Arpeggiata, now makes these treasures the subject of her new double album. Together with singers in a top-class cast, she explores all facets of Neapolitan musical life in colourful interpretations and with rapid improvisational energy. The repertoire ranges (besides traditionals) from the 18th to the 20th century: The musicians rediscover Neapolitan Baroque cantatas in the 24 tracks (from the pens of the almost forgotten masters Cristoforo Caresana or Antonio Giramo), but alongside these excavations of old music, sensational in their own right, they afford themselves an unprecedented foray into popular Neapolitan songs that evoke the city’s unique Mediterranean flair. L’Arpeggiata burns off true fireworks with ever new variations of the Tarantella – the rousing typically Neapolitan folk dance, whose tempo causes the audience, dancers and musicians to be in a state of just hypnotic intoxication. The journey ends with famous songs like Dicitencello Vuje by Rodolfo Falvo – a true Naples hit that has been interpreted not only by tenors like Mario Lanza, but also by Tony Bennett and Nina Simone. |
