Kolekce: Contemporary musicPodkolekce: Voices and Chamber Ensemble
This Vol. II that Stradivarius dedicates to Milano Musica Festival, includes four chamber compositions by Iannis Xenakis: each of the four belonging to a different period of his artistic activity; the famous Octandre by Edgar Varèse, one of the pillars of 20th-century music; and Mediterraneo by Fausto Romitelli (1963-2004), an untimely death, one of the most significant composers of the present European generation. This important release by the Dutch mezzo soprano Marieke Koster and the prestigious Asko Ensemble, an outstanding contemporary music ensemble founded in 1965, is here directed by Stefan Asbury.

Kolekce: World Premiere RecordingPodkolekce: Vocal and Piano
Sara Mingardo is one of the few rare authentic contralto voices on today’s music scene, and last year she won the prestigious Premio Abbiati 2010 as ‘Best Italian Singer’. Here she wonderfully interprets, in a thrilling World Première Recording, lyrical pieces for voice and piano by Guido Alberto Fano, with Aldo Orvieto at the piano.
G. A. Fano was born in Padua in 1875 and he died exactly 50 years ago in a small town in Friuli. His approach to song seems akin to that of Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), who spoke of a new interest among Italian composers for vocal chamber music: “Incipit vita nova”, he proclaimed, with Dantesque tones he greeted the salvation of the genre from the monopoly enjoyed by the previous generation, first and foremost, the huge output of Abruzzo-born Francesco Tosti. A “new life” on which Pizzetti embarked by shedding the yolk of pleasant melody and conventional cadential formulae. These little known but highly attractive lyrical pieces, composed on immortal masterpieces by two great Italian poets, Giosuè Carducci (1835-1907) and Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912), clearly show Fano’s distance from the precepts of late 19th-century drawing-room song. |

The title pays homage to the commissioner of the work, the famous patron and collector Betty Freeman (1921-2010). Developed with the collaboration of violinist Paul Zukofsky and taken up again in 1990 in a second and concluding edition (composed of corresponding numbers), the Freeman Etudes are based on a 16- part division. |

Kolekce: BaroquePodkolekce: Violin
These works for violin, basso continuo and solo harp, taken from the 17th century Italian repertoire are experimental and innovative, exploring the possibilities on the new solo instrument of the time: the violin. At the end of the 16th century the violin emerges as a solo instrument with its own documented repertoire. 'Sonata' and 'Canzona' were sometimes used with added descriptive titles like Marco Uccellini’s La Ebrea Marinata or Biagio Marini’s Sonata Per Sonar con due corde and Sonata variata, or with dedications like Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi-Mealli’s Sonata Quarta La Biancuccia to fellowmusician il Signor Biancucci. The ensemble ARPARLA takes its inspiration from a desire to speak through music ('parla' in Italian to 'speak'), using the soft and refined sonorities of the harp and the expressive range of colours of the violin, both instruments played with historical awareness. |
