About this product

Eliodoro Sollima (1926-2000) was a Sicilian musician raised in the town of Marsala, where the concert hall is dedicated to his memory. From 1954 to 1991 he taught composition at the conservatoire in Palermo, where he was also the institution's director for 16 years. This is the only album dedicated to his music new recordings made by a young contemporary music ensemble, who are joined by the composer's son, Giovanni Sollima, a cellist and composer in his own right who has made several previous albums for Brilliant Classics. Sollima studied piano with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, and he wrote for his instrument with a thorough grasp of it's range as a Romantic instrument - Italian TV broadcasts preserve some unfussily accomplished performances of Liszt - which courses through his best-known piece, the Toccata of 1951. However, his idiom embraced a Bartokian toughness of rhythm, most vividly demonstrated here by the three movements for piano trio (for which Sollima received compliments from Isaac Stern). In 1968 he wrote a powerful concerto for string orchestra in memory of Bobby Kennedy, and the tortured harmonies of this piece carry over into both the contemporaneous piano trio and the later 'Evoluziona No.5' for violin and piano. However, the album surveys the full range of Sollima's oeuvre, from the brief and touching Aria he composed for a chamber quintet as a 19-year-old, to a compact Cello Sonata written at the age of 22 in 1948. From almost half a century later dates the 'Legend of St Damiano', a single-movement piano quartet that effectively synthesizes the evolution of the composer's music. Luciano Tarantino recorded Giovanni Sollima's own music on a 'Cello Solo Journey' released in 2019 by Brilliant Classics (95964). His own playing can also be enjoyed on a 2014 album of Offenbach's cello duets (94475). Album Tracks 1. Sonata for cello and piano~I. L

This presents the best music of Ludovico Einaudi, whose aesthetic of emptiness has won him legions of fans worldwide, and Jeroen van Veen's survey of the piano music which is central to Einaudi's style belongs with his survey of minimalists including Glass and Nyman who are less concerned in music as an expressive language than as a commercial artifact. Likewise, his listeners absorb the music less in the sense of engaging with meaning than as backdrop to activity or from stress. Ludovico Einaudi may well become the InchSatie of the 21st centuryInch. His minimalist, deceptively simple piano works reach a massive audience well beyond the strict boundaries of traditional classical music. Album Tracks 1. Una Mattina 2. I Giorni 3. Le Onde 4.

Most of Porpora's cantatas, veritable master classes of vocal composition - are found in the 1735 collection, published in London and dedicated to Frederic, Prince of Wales. This disc, however, also presents three of an unknown date; while Venticel che tra la frondi and Il Vulcano can be traced back to Porpora's time in Venice (the former in particular contains similarities to his Venetian sacred music), Il Ritiro is likely to be the most modern, carefully reconstructed from a collation of various possible manuscripts. At any rate, these cantatas are a testimony to the composer's reputation as one of the most important and influential musicians of the 18th century. Recorded in April 2012, Villa San Fermo, Lonigo, Vicenza, Italy. The Italian elite band InchI Virtuosi ItalianiInch play original instruments. Maria Laura Martorana possesses all the qualities required for an effective performance of this music effortless and brilliant vocal technique, capable of the most daunting vocal acrobatics, and a passionate and dramatic temper, conveying the strong emotions expressed in these Baroque Cantatas. Album Tracks 1. Sinfonia Vivace - I Virtuosi Italiani 2. Sinfonia Minuetto - I Virtuosi Italiani 3. Da Tue Veloci Candide Colombe 4. Non Lasciar Chi T'ama Tanto 5. Non Ti Rammenti Ingrate 6. Seguitarti Ovunque Vai 7. Nel Mio Sonno Almen Talora 8. Pria Dell'aurora 9. Partì Con L'ombra È Ver 10. Venticel Che TRÀ Le Frondi 11. Così Tirsi Piangendo 12. D'un Cor Che Tace E Pena 13.
