Marina Viotti, Gabriel Bianco
AP311 - 1CD - 64' - Apr 14, 2023
Marina Viotti’s first solo recital, “Porque existe otro querer” (Because there’s another lover), combines French and Hispanic romances in an exploration of the chromatic kaleidoscope of love’s feelings. Marina Viotti is familiar with crossover, and here, once again with the guitarist Gabriel Bianco, she performs new arrangements of pieces by Fauré, Falla, Massenet, Isolina Carrillo and Jacques Brel. These songs, so different in tone, style and aesthetic, share the same instrumental colour and find coherence in unexpected relationships, and they emerge as so many variations on the theme of love.
Her voice, beautifully mellow in songs to texts by Léo Ferré, Armand Silvestre and Sully Prudhomme, also brings out the fire of Manuel de Falla’s Siete Canciones and the languid sensuality of Dos Gardenias. Marina Viotti’s flamboyancy, together with Gabriel Bianco’s fine sense of colour, exploring all the nuances of light and shade, is magic indeed!
