An incredibly alive project, published in 2018 by Alpha Classic, which IL SUONAR PARLANTE ORCHESTRA brought in Philharmonie Berlin, Graz Styriarte, Milano MiTo, Antwerpen Amuz, Rotterdam De Doelen etc., always sold out. In the XVIII century musical bands of gypsies were active all over the eastern border of Europe playing indifferently for the Turkish or for the Habsburg nobles. Some of them became very appreciated virtuosos: as the beautiful violin player Panna Cinska (1711-72) or the famous Janos Bihari and had a strong influence on “cultivated” composers as Telemann, Mozart or Listz. Vittorio Ghielmi, Graciela Gibelli and IL SUONAR PARLANTE ORCHESTRA present this fascinating and “unheard” repertoire, working on very rare manuscript sources (from Hungary to Poland and Transylvania). An extremely fresh and virtuoso project joining the research with a new and creative style of playing and composing, inspired by the many traditional players with whom Ghielmi worked during his career, as the Gypsy-Moldovian cymbalon virtuoso and improviser Marcel Comendant or the Slovak violinist and composer Stano Palúch.
