"PENTAMERON"

(SONY-Classics 2019)

Ensemble Oni Wytars always impresses with its unusual and interesting projects. This time the Early Music Ensemble is inspired by one of the most important collections of stories and folk legends: The "Pentamerone" (the tale of tales) is the title of a collection of fairy tales by Giambattista Basile, which was published in Naples in 1634. The stories in this work are divided into five days (Greek: pénte = five, heméra = day) and told in Neapolitan dialect. Oni Wytars ensemble has selected and arranged some Italian folk songs from the 16th century, which Basile talks about in his book. You can also hear works by well-known Neapolitan composers, some of whom Basile had personal contact with - such as Baldassare Donato, G. Da Nola, G. Leonardo Dell'Arpa, J. H. Kapsberger and Velardiniello. As with "Pentamerone", this album is also divided into five sections, representing five days. The Oni Wytars ensemble gives the listener a feeling of the atmosphere in the courtyards and rooms where these stories and songs brought to life the tragic figures, their dreams and their search for fortune and love.

The music is sincere and captivating. An imaginative sound journey into a long-gone Naples. (Rondo 1/2019)

DLF German radio feature: Ensemble Oni Wytars looking for traces, 
the music for “Il Pentamerone”.
"Ten women tell 50 stories over five days. This is the setting of “Pentamerone” by Giambattista Basile. In doing so, he laid the foundation for European fairy tales in the early Baroque period. The Oni Wytars ensemble tells the stories and the mood through music for the first time."
On the microphone: Christiane Lehnigk.    listen to it here (in german)!
