"Amor contraffatto" is a profound and introspective journey into the world of requiem music, presented by the talented Gianvincenzo Cresta. Released on January 1, 2013, under the Digressione Music label, this album spans a captivating 50 minutes, divided into two distinct yet interconnected sections. The first half, "Devequt II," is a quartet of original compositions that explore the complexities of love and longing. Cresta's delicate and expressive vocals weave through these pieces, accompanied by subtle instrumental arrangements that enhance the intimate atmosphere. The second half of the album delves into the traditional "Sei Tenebrae Responsoria del Sabbato Sancto," a set of six responsories sung during the Holy Saturday matins in the Catholic Church. Cresta's interpretation of these ancient texts is both reverent and innovative, offering a fresh perspective on these timeless works. Throughout "Amor contraffatto," Cresta's unique voice and artistic vision shine through, making this album a compelling exploration of love, loss, and spiritual reflection.
