Guida, Candida & Francesco Addabbo
Luce D'amor Divino
The Contralto Candida Guida and the organist Francesco Addabbo present a real rarity for the admirers of the Christmas Repertoire. A collection of Christmas compositions for voice and organ by franciscan friars composers of the XX Century: the last composers of the "Scuola Napoletana". Candida Guida searched for them in the archives of the churches in and around Naples. Francesco Addabbo played on the organ of the Chiesa del Carmine, one of the oldest and most important churches of Naples. The Church has 3 Organs, the biggest one has been used in this recording, it's an organ of the XVIII and XIX Century with some interventions of the XX century and is the perfect instruments to create the unique Christmas atmosphere of Naples of the first part of the XX Century.
