Recitare

Two chords, an almost “rasgueado” guitar, bow strokes, lines and an almost mute voice, are some of the materials that compose the narrative Recitare. We do not have here the word as a such expressive character, typical of the baroque period, but the sound itself is framed in ways that take center stage, driving the sound to that sort of declamation.  For this, the interpreter is required great flexibility , because the time  course of the piece suffers continuous changes of moments of extremely rhythmic life, harsher sound and other more static moments where the voice to “bocca chiusa” always reveals a more subtle and lyrical territory. Recitare is especially dedicated to violinist Simona Cavuoto, who gave me this job with her dedicated and engaging interpretation.
