Franco Pavan’s recent forays into the exciting world of folk/early music with Laboratorio ’600 are stylish and exciting. His combination of poignant programming with crisp, exacting performances shows that he has a finger right on the pulse of current trends in musicology. This latest album, ‘Occhi turchini’, brings the ultra-expressive and colourful voice of Pino de Vittorio together with some fascinating research into various cultural influences on southern Italian music; the result is a selection of traditional Calabrian songs and instrumental works full of surprises … this disc is so much more than a revival, it is a celebration of Calabrian diversity and history.
