Stefano Saletti and Renato Giordano
Aristophanes' "The Wasps" was written in 422 BCE, earlier than his better-known plays like "Peace," "Lysistrata" and "Frogs." It will be close to the heart of many of the readers: it is about the Athenians' excitement for the court of law and their desire to be on the jury day after day, rather than have to carry out their day-to-day affairs.
This is a record that can be embraced by friends of Italian and Greek music but also by anyone interested in the wise use of keyboards and dance loops and beats in traditional music (especially on "Kronos"). This is something of a specialist recording, but it is full of verve and a sly sense of humor that somehow persists throughout the CD, which works well in lightening the tone of the record and extending its appeal further than the limited group of theatre-goers. - Nondas Kitsos
