Stefano Saletti and Renato Giordano
Le vespe
This is music composed to accompany a modern staging of Aristophane's "The Wasps." If I might paraphrase artists from the Italian notes, the idea behind Le vespe was not to recover 'the lost music of the Greeks' but rather to search for a 'Spirito Sonoro' that was compatible with the ancient ideals. This they do extremely well on Le Vespe (the wasps), in a search for commonality and digression in the music of the Balkan peninsula, from modern and ancient Greece, Bulgaria, the Roma and beyond, fused with the art music of Europe, both old and contemporary. It is both and neither ancient and modern, and the tension and beauty this divergence creates is palpable.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
