What are the paths of a musical theme in the history of music? A striking example is the ancient Lusitanian dance that goes by the title of Follia (Folly). Linked to fertility rites, it seems that, being originally very fast, it led the dancers to states of psychic alteration (hence the origin of the name) and changed character as it entered noble palaces and courts, while retaining its original title. However, it may be chance or the beauty of the theme, one fact is certain: Follia, the leitmotif of these CDs, is one of the pieces that has stirred the imagination of composers more than any other since the Renaissance. We start with Solinas ('500) to arrive at Beethoven and Cramer (at the height of the 19th century) alternating, without interruption, names that belong to the Olympus of music history with unknown if not anonymous names.
