Casella / Perrachio / Ziveri - Alfredo Casella & Luigi Perrachio: Musica per arpa - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Liliana Safikhanova, young harpist from Moscow and winner of the fifth edition of the International Competition InchSuoni d'ArpaInch in 2015, in this album performs a beautiful anthology of Italian music for harp that embraces the entire Twentieth Century history up to our days from Luigi Maurizio Tedeschi to Barbara Giuranna, through Alfredo Casella, Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco and Nino Rota, in a miscellany that contains interesting world premiere recordings. This is the result of the collaboration between Tactus and the Italian Harp Association and very well represents the double objective set within the InchSuoni d'ArpaInch competition by the two institutions on one hand support, value and promote young talents, and, on the other, rediscover the Italian musical heritage dedicated to the harp.

Giacomo Gotifredo Ferrari (Rovereto 1763 - London 1842) was an Italian composer and theoretician. He was the son of a wealthy cloth merchant of Rovereto who at first had destined him for carrying on the family business; but since a very early age he showed a great talent and facility for music. After his father's death in 1784, Ferrari decided to pursue a musician's career, and from that time onwards his life was spent travelling a great deal and staying in the major European courts. In this recording dedicated to the unusual harp and piano ensemble, Roberta Alessandrini and Corrado Ruzza reveal a musical cross-section typical of the aristocratic salons of the late classicism, characterized by a pleasant and elegant style. The pieces are also completed by other instruments such as the hunting horns and the tambourine, whose parts could be played by occasional guests who were added to the private performances of these compositions.
