“L\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9gance, le raffinement se conjuguent aux accents populaires, […] les textes sont savoureux et m\u00e9ritent l\u2019attention. A l\u2019autre extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9criture nous trouvons cette “Canzona francesa cromatica” par laquelle s\u2019ouvre le second acte. La richesse musicale est constante.”<\/p>\n

Love, drama and betrayal under the Sicilian sun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Baroque composers perfected the art of recycling. They happily borrowed, arranged and transformed the works of others, navigating between learned forms and popular traditions with a freedom that was later abandoned during the classical era. Alarc\u00f3n was trained by the strictest European masters, he has always hung onto the fantasy and melodrama of his native Argentina. Now he and the musicians and singers of Cappella Mediterranea have taken on the pastiche, which consists of creating new works by juxtaposing and reworking existing pieces by different composers. The programme includes compositions by Roland de Lassus, Sigismondo d’India and Alessandro Scarlatti, who refashioned anonymous tarantellas and lamenti full of vitality, emotion and violence. The misfortunes of Cecilia and her melancholic Calabrian melody are threaded throughout the whole drama, inviting us to step back in time to the southern Italy of three centuries ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
