This is a remarkable recording with a pulsing life to it that is so rare to hear on a recording. It's as if one is listening to a live concert! The singing is absolutely fantastic, in all senses of the word, and the instrumental band is so inventive and full of life and colors. What an amazing group of performers! How I would love to hear them do more together. And from one singer to others: Marco, Lucilla and Alfio are all "the real deal"...fabulous, natural singers!

4.0 out of 5 stars L'Arpeggiata - a musical feast, August 10, 2009

This is the second disc I have purchased by L'Arpeggiata - a wonderfully alive and rhythmically coherent band using ancient instruments ( or copies). The focus of this disc - La Tarantella - is about a dance which has arisen in several Mediterranean countries around the myth that a spider's deadly bite can only be cured by dance. The musical examples chosen to illustrate this theme contain both rustic and classical songs set to some exquisite lyrics sung with passion and feeling. The sound quality being of SACD origin is not as spacious in the stereo sense as the first disc I purchased by L'Arpeggiata - 'Stefano Landi - Homo fugit velut umbra' on Alpha 020, but is very good in its own right.La Tarantella: Antidotum Tarantulae
