Quartetto ReinaGiaccotti - Sicilianella Tarantella

Review by Rute Elias Rutelias

The Quartetto ReinaGiaccotti's album Sicilianella Tarantella is a beautiful and engaging collection of traditional Sicilian music. The quartet, made up of violin, accordion, guitar, and double bass, performs with a passion and energy that is infectious. The album features a variety of traditional Sicilian songs, including the lively and upbeat tarantella, as well as more contemplative and melancholy pieces. The quartet's arrangements are skillful and imaginative, incorporating elements of jazz and classical music into the traditional folk melodies. The musicians' technical proficiency is impressive, but it is their emotional connection to the music that truly shines through. This album is a must-listen for anyone who loves traditional music, or who simply wants to experience the rich cultural heritage of Sicily.
