Info : Songs express sensitivities. They tell us about love and pain, about ssuccess or failure, give expression to forms of protest, are folkloric or a pop-cultural phenomenon. In late medieval Italy, the so called “Canzonieri” (song book) spread. They mostly contain sonnets, canzoni, or ballads and are accompanied by sheet music. Michele Marco Rossi makes use of this literary-musical genre and presents pieces by Georges Aperghis, Noriko Baba, Francesco Filidei, Bernhard Gander, Filippo Perocco and Enno Poppe in his “Canzoniere” and all of them are approaches to the art form of the song. However, these are “songs” in which the focus is not on vocals qua vocals, but rather on the unique soundscape created by the violoncello and the interaction of the instrumentalist.

Comment : Hate the cringe vocals but overall excellent.
