Ad a starAndrea Care (tenor)
Andrea Care © Andrea Asti
The German producer Illiria Productionwith the sponsorship of Lavazza -which in its day also sponsored Luciano Pavarotti-, has put on the market a new product for the field of classical music, with a book that has a QR code printed on its back cover through which you can access the voice of the Turin tenor Andrea Carè (1981). The singer, under the title Ad a starand accompanied on the piano by Vincenzo Scalera (assiduous companion of the also tenor Juan Diego Florez), presents seventeen chamber songs composed by Giuseppe Verdi.
The originality of this product is precisely in the inseparable binomial of book and QR code, perhaps predicting a format that will corner CD and DVD media. In this way, sound and image players are eliminated from the market and everything goes back to the forced use of the cell phone (less and less telephone), or the call tabletor of computer.
Getting into the subject, the book reveals the voice of a tenor who has a rotund tessitura and a lot of rennet, well stamped in luminous harmonics, as well as elegant diction. However, this assessment is made with the safeguard of never having heard it live, since the recording may have sound alterations that could be different live. It seems that in this case this is not the case, given the contrasting seriousness of the production house.
On the pages of the booklet, Andrea Care spell out in writing feelings towards your hometown, Turinand his way of understanding Verdi. It is appreciated that the verses of verdian songsamong whom are authors like his friend Andrea Maffeior the poet Felice Romaniyour admired Alessandro Manzoniand also from its librettists Temistocles Solera either Arrigo Boito.
