(CVLD386) VERSIONE RIMASTERIZZATA 2024

The recording project Il Cantante Al Microfono bridges the gap between songwriting and contemporary classical music, starting with the great Russian actor, poet and singer-songwriter Vysotsky, who tragically died in 1980, who understood and sang the true soul of his people and was therefore severely opposed by the Soviet regime. His music accompanies with intriguing melodies, now with a Balkan flavor, now with oriental tones, now tracing ancient times of waltzes, the texts sharp and scratchy. From the corpus of his more than 500 songs, Eugenio Finardi and Filippo Del Corno have chosen a dozen titles strongly representative of the ethical, spiritual, political tension and corrosive irony that animates Vysotsky’s work. The songs, already translated into Italian by Sergio Secondiano Sacchi, were orchestrated for the instrumental ensemble Sentieri Selvaggi by Del Corno himself, in a version that highlights the highest poetic and musical quality of Vysotsky’s verses and allows the full deployment of the extraordinary interpretative power of Eugenio Finardi.

It is in fact a long time that Finardi joins his activity as the protagonist of the Italian author rock an in-depth and rigorous vocal research work, which will leave those who do not know the path that led him from fado, to his beloved blues, right up to the contemporary classical. The graphics are very refined and curated by Convertino. A project that perfectly fits with the production line that Velut Luna has always proposed: originality in proposals artistically and technically of the highest quality.
