Fra’ Diavolo - Music in the streets of the Kingdom of Naples - Guido Morini, Accordone
Product Details
Product Description
Recording data and venue: 7th - 11th October 2009, Chiesa parrocchiale S. Maurizio, Gignese (Verbania) Italy
Fra’ Diavolo is the debut album by Accordone for the Arcana label, featuring Pino De Vittorio and Marco Beasley, two undisputed authorities in this repertoire. This programme was launched in 1998 and was finally recorded in October 2009, after 11 years of concerts all over the world. For a long time the so-called 'tarantella' repertoire has been subjected to commercial exploitation, including the bestselling La Tarantella by Christina Pluhar’s L’Arpeggiata on Alpha. At the time Marco Beasley was a close collaborator on this project and with Christina. However Fra’ Diavolo aims to go beyond these earlier efforts in the completeness with which they present the variety of forms featured in the traditional music of southern Italy.
Marco is a star, but so is Pino De Vittorio, a pillar of the Cappella della Pietà dei Turchini, specialising in Neapolitan baroque repertoire. Fra' Diavolo is the project of two genuine Neapolitans, Marco and Pino.
