Duilio Meucci / Marcello Nardis
This CD contains the complete works for voice and guitar by Benjamin Britten, the most important and successful English composer of the 20-th century.
"Songs from the Chinese Op.58" deals with the aging process, where one is thrown from melancholy to the restlessness that turns up in "Dance song", a wild dance where the unicorn symbolizes lost innocence, one of Britten's favorite themes.
The "Nocturnal Op.70" is one of the guitar literature's most remarkable works. The piece reflects the various stages of insomnia, where the theme of John Dowland, "Come heavy sleep" suggests how sleep, or death, finally enters as a liberator. The original songs by John Dowland, which were the inspiration for Britten, are also included in the program.
Marcello Nardis is a remarkable Italian singer, who performed in Teatro alla Scala, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, New National Theatre - Tokyo, and Carnegie Hall. Duilio Meucci is one of the foremost guitar players of Italy.
