Fascinazione Arcadia

The name Arcadia is pleasant-sounding and popular. But the land of Virgil's poetry is not actually well known. Where is it? What is it? Is this just another tale of heartache? Well, it is a place where lovesick shepherds seek comfort in tranquil nature. The bubbling spring, laurel shaded, provides space for the troubled mind, whilst poetry and music provide escape for heavy hearts. The poetry of Giancarlo Pontiggia ,drawing on a variety of texts, finds inspired company in its recitation in the music of Alessandro Scarlatti.
