​CATARÌ, MAGGIO, L'AMMORE - new CD                                                                                               (August 2017)
 
Dear Visitor, 

I'm happy and proud to present the new CD Catarì, Maggio, l'Ammore.
This new CD sees the collaboration of Antonello Paliotti on the guitar, and is entirely dedicated to the classic Neapolitan song. The 'canzone napoletana' is a repertoire that for centuries has been telling stories of a real, authentic Naples still recognizable and attractive today. Verses and sounds of a language that can be poetry in music.
 
            "Dimane? Ma vurria partì stasera!                             "Tomorrow? But I want to leave tonight!
             Luntano no, nun nce resisto cchiù:                            Faraway or not, I can no longer resist:
             dice ca c’ è rimasto sulo ‘o mare,                              they say that only the sea
             ch’ è ‘o stesso ‘e primma... chillo mare blu!"               has remained the same as before... oh, that blue sea!"

            Verses from "Munasterio 'e Santa Chiara" (music by Alfredo Barberis, verses by Michele Galdieri)
 
The CD is the third auto-produced album, after Il Racconto di Mezzanotte (2013) e Le Strade del Cuore (2016).
Each copy of Catarì, Maggio, l'Ammore is handmade.
For now, the CD is exclusively sold at the concert venues. 

and... BACK TO THE STUDIO!

In November I will be back in the Studio to record an album dedicated to Due radici, 'Two Roots', a program that I like to define autobiographic: with English and Italian music, as my origins and roots are both English and Italian.

On the strings of the archlute, theorbo and baroque guitar of Stefano Rocco, together we take you through a musical journey of songs, music, poems, tales that have influenced our "being musicians" over thirty years of activity. From Monteverdi to Nick Drake, from Fossati to Purcell, poems and music whose labels as ‘early’ and ‘modern’ do not really matter, but whose verses tell about true, authentic feelings today as yesterday.

​                              "Going to see the river man
                               Going to tell him all I can
                               About the ban
                               On feeling free."

                              Verses from "River man", from the album
                              "Five Leaves Left" (1969), by Nick Drake (1948-1974)
 
Also the CD "Due Radici" will be exclusively available at the concert venues, from mid 2018 onwards.
