Where did you find this information? Tarantella is actually Italian through and through.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantella

No doubt you're right.

Here my favorite tarantella: Tarantella del Gargano (stupenda versione di Marco Beasley)

Rachmaninoff: The Bells [Kolokola]

Chorus of the Concertgebouw Orchestra
Concertgebouw Orchestra
Ashkenazy

First time - this is a great piece! Hmm, perhaps I will take a greater interest in Russian vocal music in the future....   
It almost seems like a continuation of the tone poem 'Isle of the Dead'. It has a similar mesmerizing rhythmic undertone that reverberates in the background. The voices bring a human template superimposed on the rhythm. Chaotic at times, but powerful. I like this quite a bit.
Hmm, now I need to dig up the texts so I know what they are singing.......

Yes, a wonderful work. Speaking of Russian vocal music, the All-night Vigil and Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and the songs, are also magnificent.

An interesting Italian style cpt3 from AoF, played by Lydia Maria Blank, she has a lot of things to explore on YouTube - French and English stuff, Frescobaldi and Froberger, and this piece by Christian Erbach

I will definitely steer towards a few of those vocal works today!

That's easy!

The Bells

It really is a great piece, and it was an unnecessarily long time before I listened to it . . . partly because of the funny story I have about the text.

Rakhmaninov set a Russian translation by the Silver Age poet Konstantin Balmont.

When Melodiya issued an LP (no, I do not remember just when), the back cover had the text in both Russian and English.  But the English was not Poe's original poem—it was a retranslation into English from the Balmont text.  I found it painful/humorous to read, and I fear that at that tender age, I did allow this reaction to prejudice me (unfairly, as we know) against the piece itself.
