David Linx, brilliant vocalist and songwriter, and his alter-ego Diederik Wissels, unique pianist, have added two additional voices to their luxury rhythmic (Wallemme-Huchard). The Italian Maria Pia de Vito and the Dutch Fay Claassen put their great talent at the service of the genius of the master of vocal jazz. The result? An absolutely sumptuous album, of unimaginable originality, with permanent vocal prowess but never vulgar. A parallel universe that necessarily borrows from American jazz, but which feeds on very worked harmonies, melodies close to “big music” and European folk rhythms. If there is a form of jazz on this side of the Atlantic, Linx and Wissels are the main ambassadors. A wonderful project that is taking on a considerable scale on stage. Great.

Maria Pia De Vito, Francois Couturier, Anja Lechner, Michele Rabbia – Il Pergolese (2013)

Il Pergolese pays tribute to 18th century composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710 – 1736), and considers his relationship to the art music and the popular music of Naples, from a highly contemporary perspective. The text of the Stabat Mater – translated into Neapolitan by Maria Pia De Vito – and the opera arias, are transformed into songs and vivid narrative, open frames providing the key to reinterpreting Pergolesi. François Couturier’s arrangements widen Pergolesi’s structures, offering space for improvisational interaction. But this is a real group project, a discourse among acoustic sounds, with rhythms of drums and metals, and sampled and real-time electronics. Sound textures grow dense with the richness of instrumental counterpoint or are set free in electronic soundscapes and along coloristic, percussive lines, as cello becomes voice or voice becomes an instrument. The project was commissioned by the Festival Pergolesi-Spontini of Jesi in 2011. The present version was recorded in Lugano in December 2012, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
