About this product
Within the context of the wide and multifaceted creative activity of Gian Francesco Malipiero (Venice, 1882 - Treviso, 1973), piano production represents a marginal branch, or at least one that was developed less systematically. However, there are about thirty titles - spread over more than sixty years - in which the most typical forms of Malipiero's language find perfect expression from the melancholy restlessness of the first works to the clear expressive intensity of the last ones. Malipiero is not a pianist - in his youth he half-heartedly studied the violin and then for some time the bassoon - but the piano will always be his working instrument. In the large studio on the first floor of the Asolo house, surrounded by a vast library, a grand piano from the FIP (Fabbrica Italiana Pianoforti) will be his companion for a long time. InchPianists who perform my piano works are rare. Perhaps they feel that the piano does not love me. However, I bear no grudge against this strange enemy of mine, on the contrary, I am very much in love with certain piano sounds, with their brightness. I understand the poetry of the keyboard and the vibrations of the most complete sound organism, but acrobatic virtuosity sickens me.Inch The result, however, is an imaginative and coherent world, one of the most original and unique of the first half of the twentieth century in Italy.

Niccolò Castiglioni's music has at it's heart a quest for different timbres and new musical perspectives. After the neo-Classical exercises of his student years he moved towards serial techniques with explorations of contrast and transformation. Castiglioni made his name with Inizio di movimento, consolidating this with Cangianti in which the piano becomes a 'lyrical instrument of the most tender poetry'. The award-winning Italian pianist Aldo Orvieto continues his survey of piano works by one of Italy's most unique 20th-century composers. The award-winning Italian pianist Aldo Orvieto continues his exploration of piano works by Niccolò Castiglioni - one of Italy's unique 20th-century composers. Includes two world premiere recordings. Volume 1 is available on GP862.

Camillo Togni loved the piano and fully understood the instrument's great potential for colour and virtuosity. This final volume in the series explores Togni's very first piano works, redolent of Chopin and Liszt, as well as pieces from his formative years of development. They include the Pezzo per pianoforte and the Fantasia a quattro voci e pedale where his use of chromaticism and contrapuntalism is vividly audible. His two cadenzas for the Mozart piano concertos reflect Togni's endless admiration for his erstwhile teacher, the great pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Pianist Aldo Orvieto has recorded and performed for the main European radio broadcasters, including the BBC, Rai, Radio France and German radio. He has a discography of more than 70 albums including his ongoing series of Togni's piano music on Naxos, all of which have garnered much critical acclaim. As a member of Ex Novo Ensemble, Orvieto appeared in a recording of Togni's chamber works (8.572074).
