About

Serata d’Amore… A romantic evening is not complete without music : traditional Neapolitan songs perhaps, or maybe a few operatic arias, beautiful melodies that tune the ear and warm the heart with an amalgam of souvenirs. This album was born from a series of performances given by Gino Quilico last summer, in which he offered a journey through various eras, composer and genres. While the original concept included of songs in both French and English, the singer chose to detach himself from them and converge back towards his roots in Italy where, as a child every weekend in the car between Rome and Ostia, he would intone arias of Tosti and traditional ballads along with the warm baritone of his father Louis and the accordion of his mother, Carolina Pizzolongo.

The album is infused with youth but doesn't want to recall nostalgia, or become an object frozen in time, an old postcard looked at from time to time. With the arrangements of Dominic Boulianne, the titles of the album, all picked by Gino with the utmost delicacy, flow from Chopin to Tosti, Rossini to Dalla, and Mozart to Aznavour. They have been loved for years, and will remain to be hummed for decades to come. One will find treasures such as two of Tosti’s 500 popular parlour ballads, and an aria from Mozart’s Don Giovanni in which the great seducer charms his lady from under a balcony with a simple mandolin. The eternal O sole mio, Santa Lucia and Torna a Surriento, all of which he remembers his father singing in a Venetian gondola after a late night, are also part of the selection.

Rossini’s explosive Neapolitan Tarantella, “La Danza”, eighth song of the cycle Les soirées musicales, has seduced many composers ever since its inception in 1835. Franz Liszt transcribed it for the piano, Ottorino Respighi integrated it to his ballet La Boutique Fantasque, and Chopin took inspiration from it for his Tarentella Op. 43. The arrangement proposed here designed to enhance accordionist Alexander Sevastian’s extraordinary virtuosity.
