Alessandro D'Episcopo Trio - Stella Cadente Songs From Naples And Italy

Review by Ahmad Alagha

The Alessandro D'Episcopo Trio's album Stella Cadente Songs From Naples And Italy is a beautiful and authentic tribute to the rich musical heritage of Naples and Italy. The trio, consisting of Alessandro D'Episcopo on accordion, Luigi Del Prete on guitar, and Francesco Lomagistro on double bass, brings a fresh and modern interpretation to classic Neapolitan and Italian songs.

The album features a mix of well-known classics such as "O Sole Mio" and "Funiculì Funiculà" as well as lesser-known gems like "Scalinatella" and "Luna Rossa". The trio's arrangements are both respectful of the originals and innovative, adding new textures and rhythms to the familiar melodies.

Alessandro D'Episcopo's accordion playing is particularly impressive, showcasing his virtuosity and sensitivity to the music. Luigi Del Prete's guitar work is equally impressive, providing a solid rhythmic foundation as well as beautiful melodic lines. Francesco Lomagistro's double bass adds depth and richness to the trio's sound.

Stella Cadente Songs From Naples And Italy is a delightful album that will appeal to both fans of traditional Neapolitan and Italian music as well as those who appreciate fresh and innovative interpretations of classic songs. The Alessandro D'Episcopo Trio is a talented and dynamic group that deserves wider recognition.
