Peppe Servillo "present" at Rome Sinfonietta

"Presentimento" is a tribute to the Neapolitan song by Peppe Servillo, one of the reference figures of contemporary Neapolitanity, who offers a refined and popular reading of the Neapolitan spirit through a repertoire of classics, from Raffaele Viviani to Renato Carosone. Accompanied by the Solis String Quartet, Servillo will interpret some of the most beautiful Neapolitan songs of all time. The lineup is thrilling: Passionate song, Presentiment, Palomma, M'aggia cura ', All for me, I love you assaje, Mozartango, Scalinatella,' A serenata 'and Pulecenella, Esta', Che t'aggia di dì, Dicitincello vuie, Tarantella secret, I know them and the loquats, 'A casciaforte, Where is Zaza'.
"That of presenting - Servillo himself tells us - is often the condition of artists, narrators, as well as poets authors of these songs who in their verses present and announce secrets, presences, betrayals, what could happen again or would like to happen , and they do it with words that never seem to be heard as the seers, the soothsayers of our love life ".
