Description
Letizia Belmondo - one of the major interpreters of the contemporary harp scene, winner of the most important international competitions - is the exceptional interpreter of the fascinating music included in this CD. Dedicated to the historical revaluation of the great Neapolitan melody, this recording revisits the masters of the Italian harp school between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. It is in Naples itself that these composers were active, and their compositions evoke the wonder and spontaneity of melodies that became famous all over the world. Included here are transcriptions of some of the most famous arias of the eighteenth-century in a colourful mixture of folk and operatic traditions.
