La Bella noeva

Description

Marco Beasley, a rising star of the Alpha label, could almost be considered the first crooner of baroque & Renaissance music! His charismatic voice, with impeccable clarity, seems to give this repertoire - too often reserved for a small group of specialists - a new life, a breath of youth that it desperately needs. Beasley has, evidently, digested all the teachings from musicological research of recent decades; but he clearly distances himself from the didactic, even doctrinaire, approach to present the works in a singularly present and current manner.
"La Bella Noeva" (The Good News) is a kind of stylistic manifesto of Marco Beasley and the Ensemble Accordone, where all the musical and interpretative particularities acquired over ten years of activity are present. The program, ranging from Gregorian chant to Monteverdi, from the very old tarantellas of Salento (an authentic practice of magical healing) to the music composed for the occasion by Guido Morini, is truly captivating. These pieces were designed to entertain, or even to heal spider bites, like the tarantella! In any case, whether you are bitten by a tarantula or not, here is a record that will work wonders as an antidote against gloom! © Abeille Musique
