{:en}PRESS RELEASE (4/19/2017)
Continued at Loano the tenth edition of “Flying Disks...Close Encounters with Records, Books, Words and Sounds.”, promoted by the’Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports of the City of Loano and organized by the’Society of the Curious Association.
Saturday, April 22, the guest of the review will be the internationally renowned composer and musician Vincenzo Zitello who will present his latest musical project “Metamorphose XII” (2017, Telenn).
From the hours 21.00, in the Civic Library in Doria Palace, the artist will dialogue with music journalist John Vignola and will perform some pieces from his latest work.
Vincenzo Zitello is among the most important harpists in the world, and the first pioneer of the Celtic Harp in Italy. Vincenzo Zitello's music follows a precise research orientation that aims to enhance the unsuspected potential that dwells between the strings of his harps: the Celtic harp and the Clarsach harp, two instruments of the Gaelic tradition with different sound and expressive characteristics.
“Metamorphose” is a double album, bringing together twelve songs dressed in changing sounds and stories, identical themes and composed in a double version: one CD for harp alone and the other orchestrated with twenty musicians.
“Metamorphose”-the artist explains-is a path endowed with poetic autonomy and mature expressive synthesis, developing into a crescendo of lyricism, evocations, allusions, rhythms, variations and virtuosity that invariably enrapture and enchant every listener.”.
Vincenzo Zitello began his musical studies as a violinist, violist and flutist at a very young age.
Present on the music scene for more than forty years now, while still a minor he distinguished himself with the musical ensemble Telaio Magnetico, which had among its members the likes of Franco Battiato, Yuri Camisasca, and Mino Di Martino. He later chose to study Celtic and bardic harps, becoming a student of the greatest known Breton harpist, Alan Stivell, from whom he borrowed a passion for this ancient and modern-sounding instrument. His classical training over time was expanded through an articulate artistic journey that led him to delve into different musical languages and styles. This has established an expressive result that underscores the artist's unmistakable personal musical identity.
The review “Flying discs...” will close on May 13 with the singer-songwriter Diodate. The artist, who participated in the 2014 Sanremo Festival in the “new entries” category and was a guest for several consecutive episodes of the program “Che tempo che fa” hosted by Fabio Fazio, will present his latest album “What have we become” (2017, Carousel Records).
