ENGLISH TRANSLATION
"For me the most interesting vocal piece of the concert was the Voynich Lied by Alessio Elia, for piano, trumpet and soprano. This piece by Elia is based on the famous, mysterious, insoluble and enigmatic Voynich manuscript, of the XIV-XV century, whose language is still unknown. An English scholar has identified the sound of some phonemes, on which Alessio Elia has based his work.
It was really sensational for me, also because this work is different from other pieces I know of Alessio Elia.
He cleverly refers to medieval music with a great refinement and an excellent taste.
In a very particular way he transposes and enriches the fourteenth century techniques, and actually he makes them new in a composition whose dimension is the one of XXI century"
