Christina Pluhar has the gift of conceiving rich, unique and enchanting programmes. Better still, she knows how to carefully choose the musicians best suited to undertake them. At the head of her incomparable ensemble L'Arpeggiata, since the early 2000s she has been unearthing numerous pearls of repertoire, which she threads into a necklace to create a masterpiece.
"Alla Napoletana" is no exception to the rule: Pluhar resurrects for the occasion numerous manuscripts collected over the last two decades, resulting in this programme dedicated to 17th century Naples. In the age when all was possible that was favourable to strange carnivalesque transformations, scholarly and popular music maintained a more than porous border, until they fused together for the listener's great pleasure. The marks of theatricality borrowed from the "commedia dell'arte" offer a striking relief to these pieces which are fascinating in their formal and textual originality and reveal to us great modernity as well as the freedom of the tone of their composers. The grand ancient and poetic theme of love—but especially of lovesickness—is portrayed in various ways: satire, parody, elegy...
If the tremendous qualities of the combined talents of Pluhar and her ensemble no longer need proving, we are also delighted by the performance of the soloists, in particular countertenor Vincenzo Capezzuto, who is hilarious in the more farcical pieces. © Pierre Lamy/Qobuz
