4 out of 5 stars Fresh Interpretations of Classic Neapolitan Songs.......2007-02-07

Massimo Ranieri is well-known in Italy for his fresh renderings of classic canzone napoletane (Neapolitan songs). On "Oggi e Dimane" (Today and Tomorrow) he serves up some of his most radical, surprising and beautiful reinterpretations of well-known, and some less familiar, songs from the Neapolitan tradition. The songs are drawn from a century's worth of material, from the late 1800s to the 1950s (Renato Carasone's "Petrol Caravan").In recent years, Neapolitan and other southern Italian musicians have broadened their muscial palettes to incorporate North African, sub-Saharan African, and Middle Eastern influences. Ranieri's no exception; several tracks here feature Arab and African musicians, in addition to Ranieri's excellent Italian sidemen. The superb griot singer Badara Seck appears on two tracks. One, "La Rundinella" (Little Swallow) is the CD's highlight, featuring Seck's extraordinary vocal improvisations and accompaniment from the kora, a sort of African lute.

5 out of 5 stars Very original renditions of Neapolitan classics.......2005-10-15

Massimo Ranieri has taken on the role of curator of great musical treasures from Naples. No other Italian singer could do this better and it goes without saying that he uses his rich, beautiful voice to perform every song in memorable fashion. What is very special about this collection are the arrangements by Mauro Pagani and Mauro Di Domenico. In almost every song, there is always an inventive, often surprising element.

For example, Scalinatella (composed in 1948) concludes with the entry of a keening female voice that has a strong Arabic quality, reminding the listener of the rich overlap of cultures in the Mediterranean.

In addition to Scalinatella, my favorites are Nuttata `e Sentimento (1904), and O' Marenariello (1893). I have a recording of Scalinatella by Claudio Villa, a Nuttata by Sergio Bruni, and a Marenariello by Roberto Murolo. While Ranieri's performances may not have the nostalgia-inducing charm of those performances, they can not be faulted for originality and beauty of rendition.

Ranieri includes the composition dates of each song, which only adds to listener's appreciation of the long tradition of Neapolitan song.

Highly recommended. If you don't know Massimo Ranieri and you start with this one, you will soon find yourself wanting to buy as many as of his CDs as you locate. He creates wonderful music.
