Fontanesi: Erotic Song Cycles, For Soprano And Piano

Love as an aspiration to immortality, love as sacrifice, love as transcendence, love as a drive towards perfection, or as a source of destruction. Many of these themes can be discerned in the poetic cycles presented in David Fontanesis collection, Five Cycles of Erotic Songs. Fontanesis lyrics, authored by the composer himself, are undoubtedly rich in allusion, yet they never descend into vulgarity. Fontanesis lyrics are structured in stanzas with fixed rhyme schemes, an element that evokes a sense of "antiquity". In Fontanesis compositions, the voice is clearly accompanied and supported by the piano in a narrative journey. The piano is not merely an accompaniment but serves as a second character, engaging in dialogue or standing as a silent witness to the souls soliloquy. The music sketches and colors the concealed depths of the emotions depicted, expressing what words alone cannot articulate.
