Info for Occhi turchini: Songs from Calabria
Mit Occhi turchini kehrt der inspirierende Sänger, Instrumentalist und Schauspieler Pino der Vittorio ins Aufnahmestudio zurück und hält seine Sicht auf die Musikkultur Kalabriens fest. Für diese neue Glossa-CD haben Franco Pavan und sein Laboratorio ’600 jahrhundertealte Quellen und Traditionen dieser italienischen Region erforscht, die als Fußspitze des italienischen Stiefels bekannt ist.
Vor kurzem haben die gleichen Künstler auf dem Album Siciliane zusammengearbeitet, das ebenfalls bei Glossa erschienen ist. Dieses neue Programm um- fasst nicht nur traditionelle Lieder, sondern auch Bei- spiele für die Verballhornung des lokalen Dialekts in der neapolitanischen Oper, mit der komische Effekte erzielt wurden, und sogar eine Parodie auf den Text des Te Deum in kalabrischer Sprache. Außerdem wurden Stücke eingespielt, die den Einfluss anderer Kulturen wie etwa der byzantinischen, griechischen, albanischen und arabischen widerspiegeln, der diese Region im Lauf der Jahrhunderte durchdrungen hat.
Pino de Vittorio fällt es leicht, eine große Bandbreite von Emotionen zu erzeugen. Daher ist er der ideale Interpret der vielschichtigen Kulturgeschichte dieser Region. Pavan und sein Ensemble steuern eine farbenreiche Begleitung des Gesangs bei oder spielen temperamentvolle instrumentale Solostücke wie etwa die Tarantella ’nfuocata, La calabrisella und insbesondere die Canzona a morto, die von Flora Papadopoulos auf der Harfe gespielt wird. Fraco Pavan spielt nicht nur Theorbe und die kalabrische chitarra batente, sondern führt den Hörer in seinem Booklettext auch durch diese schroffe, isolierte und doch ungeheuer reiche Kulturlandschaft.

Laboratorio’600
is a plucked instruments ensemble, and was born to study neglected sources of Italian early music. In our projects the archival research is a very important step, but at the same time only the first step. In fact, the respect for the sources is then mixed with the passion for music.
Laboratorio’600 is open to collaborations with artists that agree this point of view. This is the reason why we decide to begin to work with the singer Pino De Vittorio. The new Cd Siciliane, released by the label Glossa, is the first stone of our new home. We worked to this project for more than two years. For this reason, to grow up more and more, Laboratorio’600 is working on two new and very important projects, related to very particular scores of XVII- and XVIII-Century Italian music.
The attention to the sound is the other aspect of our work. This is the reason why we decided to work on this during the recordings with the exceptional skill of Rino Trasi.
