Notes & Reviews:

Christina Pluhar and I'Arpeggiata invite you on a musical cruise that will take you from Portugal to Turkey, following the coasts of Spain, Catalonia, Greece, and Italy, caressed by the rocking of the waves and the captivating dialogue between traditional plucked instruments of the Mediterranean region - the qanun, saz, Greek lyre and lavta, the loud and Portuguese guitar - and the Baroque strings of I'Arpeggiata.

Mediterraneo is truly a musical exploration of the Mediterranean Sea. The recording features the fabulous voices of Misia, Nuria Rial, Vincenzo Capezzuto, Raquel Andueza and Aikaterini Papadopoulou who perform traditional tarantellas, sung in Greek. These folk pieces were a custom in the Baroque ear in the Greek-Albanian villages of Calabria. Join Christina Pluhar on this unique musical odyssey.

The deluxe case bound edition of Mediterraneo includes a bonus DVD featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes recording sessions of Are mou Rindineddha, Sem saber, Hasapiko, and Tres sirenas.
