[quote][quote]It’s 1927 when Petrassi, at the age of 23, writes “Canti della campagna romana” (Songs of the Roman countryside) for voice and piano. The attention given to this repertoire pays homage to the memory of his mother and her way of singing, yet we cannot consider it only a private matter: the revival of the heritage of folk singing is A rich vein that permeates through European music of the early 20th century. Not driven by nationalism, but out of the desire to find in those unwritten, orally transmitted music pieces, passed down from generation to generation, unchanged for centuries, some inspiration, freedom, and original solutions. The interpretation by Rosaria Angotti and Tiziana Cosentino conveys, within the range of a vocally varied expression – marked and folksy, light and evocative, serious and amused, as prescribed by the many intentions required by the author – the liveliness of an episode that is anything but marginal and unique in Petrassi’s catalog, as the centenary of a title that this record reproduces in its originality and significance approaches.
