Giovanna Marini & Francesca Breschi - L'italia in lungo e in largo

Giovanna Marini, accompanied by the splendid voice of Francesca Breschi, has reworked and recorded twenty-one songs for this historic anthology, in which she has collected some of the most well-known pieces of her vast musical catalogue. Lamento per la morte di Pasolini and I treni per Reggio Calabria, Ragazzo gentile, Io vorrei and many tracks in her innovative style, a precursor to rap, that Marini has been using since the Sixties. The album is completed by the addition of several pieces by well-respected songwriters from the Italian folk music tradition, like Fausto Amodei, Matteo Salvatore and Caterina Bueno.This is an album that captures the emotions and tells the story of a poetic Italy that is very much alive, in lungo e in largo (all over the country) as the title suggests, through a selection of stories and songs that have gained a sense of urgency, to sing and to be listened to now!
