Scorcelletti studied anthropology at university in Florence. Her speciality is the traditional song in Italy, most particularity Tuscany. Accompaning herself on guitar, she has a beautiful sense of dynamic and arrangiament in the music, giving it a light and shade that brings the pieces out of history and into the modern era. While hardly a virtuoso of the fretbroad, she uses her skills intelligently to bring color and texture to the sound. But there's not doubt that the center of the disc is her voice. Again, it's not something that stop you in your tracks, but, combined with immagination, what emerges is something that's greater than the sum of its parts. You might not understand what she's singing about (there's not booklet in the self-released CD), but the emotion communicates. Scorcelletti is doing this from a sense of mission, rather than as a career move. She cares deeply about the music, its past, and its future, and it show in the care with which she approaches the material, and the passion she brings to her performances, making this labor of love far more than an accademic.
