The QUADRIPHONIC VOCAL ENSEMBLE "$TRADIVARIU$" has been founded in the City of Cremona
in the summer of the year 2007 by BEPPE CANTARELLI (director), STEFANO NEVA (tenor-baritone-bass & artistic
co-director) and KATARZYNA GLADYSZ (alto & artistic co-director). There are members from Cremona
and from the nearby City of Piacenza, while sometimes there are members from the COROSTELLATO
in Pìncara of Rovigo who join in for both recording sessions as well as concert activities. One of its main
features - besides using "sound in space" adopting "quadriphony" and "tridimensional stereophony"
where it is possible due to the architectural structure of the location of the performance -
it's the reading of the Poliphonic Choral Score with an Attitude and an Interpretation by each one of its
Singers-Members more typical of a Soloist rather than a Choir Member. This approach, a little bit revolutionary
and with no doubt against the traditional and academic rules of the performance and choral culture itself
by antonomasia, brings as a final result to a superior "definition" and "clearity of rendition" of each and
every part of the various poliphonic voices. This due to the the "quadriphony" and/or the "tridimension",
on one hand, and to a more "organic" and "full-blooded", with a consequent elevation of the
"emotional barycentre", on the other hand, just thanks to the exaltation of the Solo Attitude that within the
Artistic and Creative context of the Quadriphonic Vocal Ensemble $RADIVARIU$ is never castrated
and sistematically - and accademically, as it happened in the past - inhibited, but to the contrary
encouraged and actively pursued as a constant form of "Solo Choral Poliphony".
This vocal "format" takes also advantage of a new Method of
"CROSSOVER VOICE TECHNIQUE" written by BEPPE CANTARELLI.

The "$TRADIVARIU$" MUSICAL LAB has been founded in the City of Cremona
during the production of the "Christmas 2007 Tour - MENTRE IL SILENZIO (WHILE SILENCE)"
as a Strings Ensemble. Formed mainly by Instrumentalists also Makers-of-Strings-Instruments,
it accompanies the omonimous Quadriphonic Vocal Ensemble. "They all are String Instruments -
loves to remark Beppe Cantarelli - Voices, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses, Acoustic Guitars,
Pianos and others...a 'Musical Lab-Vocal Ensemble' like this could not be born in any other city but
the City of Cremona, where the making and creating of the 'Resonance Box" for 'String Instruments'
is an Art that has unique and worldwide recognized roots and origins...
the name STRADIVARIUS, maybe a little bit too American..., it's an even more than natural consequence."
