FOLK SONGS arranged by Luciano Berio (for seven instruments) (1998)

Sometimes the most innovative artists can strongly feel the charming of melodies and ritual songs coming from old traditions. Theese songs, often handed on orally through different generations shouldn't be considered only for their beauty, but as little precious mantras, filled with collective emotional energy, the energy of the people and the civilizations that have smiled and played along with them….
I thought the only worthy way to interpret them was forgetting every technics or school.
Just close my eyes and I be pervaded with the evocative strength of their melodies, let their message live inside me, a message still coming to us from remote places and times.
That's how they show us their truth: little, essential instants full of life we might join, receiving their gift of memories.
Donella Del Monaco
