Digipak. 2017 release. Camerata Mediolanense is an ensemble of Italian musicians who gained recognition in the neofolk/neoclassical scenes by blending darkwave and post-punk with the musical spirit of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The group was born in Milan in 1994, founded by harpsichordist/musicologist Elena Previdi. Literally translated as "a group of chamber musicians from Milano", Camerata Mediolanense is renowned for creating music according to the traditions and history of Italy and Europe's classical and folk music, and by using sublime voices, martial percussions, keyboards and electronic devices. With Le Vergini Folli (English: The Foolish Virgins), Camerata Mediolanense has created a dense, lush work that places the piano in the foreground and uses a strict musical language of tonal harmony which is out of fashion nowadays and thus immerses the listener in the sounds of centuries past. Guided by the pure beauty of simple melodies, channeled through love songs, and interpreted by enchanting female voices, Le Vergini Folli is unique to the band's discography in that the album is devoid of percussion, driven primarily by the captivating interplay of vocals and vintage pianos that date back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Unlike all of the group's previous works, which are deliberately organized into a specific sequence, the band invites listeners to freely change the order of the tracks on Le Vergini Folli to enhance and diversify the experience. Release your mind and unlock the inner secrets of Camerata Mediolanense!
