Info zu Ninna nanna: Lullabies from Baroque Italy

Ninna Nanna ist der Titel der neuen Aufnahme mit Franco Pavan, in der der eindringliche Klang, die dramatische Intensität und das charakteristische Timbre von Pino De Vittorios Stimme im Mittelpunkt stehen. Wiegenlied, berceuse, nana, ninna nanna oder unzählige andere Begriffe aus aller Welt bezeichnen diese Gattung – und Schlaflieder mit dem Schaukeln einer Kinderwiege haben einen fesselnden Charme, der auf dieser CD durch den hypnotischen Gesang De Vittorios perfekt zum Ausdruck kommt.

Ein besonderer Reiz von Ninna Nanna liegt darin, dass die barocken Stücke hauptsächlich aus dem Mezzogiorno, dem südlichen Teil Italiens, stammen – auch aus Apulien, der Heimat Pino De Vittorios. Franco Pavan, der Theorbe und die süditalienische chitarra battente spielt und das Laboratorio ’600 leitet, hat sich zur Inspiration in die volkstümliche Kultur dieser Regionen vertieft und Instrumentalstücke wie die Tarantella del Presepe von Cristofaro Caresana oder die traditionelle Pastorale calabrese hinzugefügt.

Pavan beschwört durch die ausgewählten Wiegenlieder eine besondere Atmosphäre herauf, bevölkert von Glühwürmchen, den mächtigen griechischen Göttern des Schlafes und des Todes, Hypnos und Thanatos, Federico García Lorca, der über Schlaflieder spricht und auf die tiefe Traurigkeit des Wiegenliedes verweist, sowie der Jungfrau Maria und verschiedenen Heiligen, die zur Untermauerung der Lehren der katholischen Kirche eingesetzt wurden.

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.
