Ludwig Thuille was one of the leading operatic composers of the Munich School. Despite his lifelong friendship with Richard Strauss Thuille remained a lesser-known Austrian composer during his short life and career.

It was never even an unofficial club of composers like the Russian InchMighty HandfulInch or the French InchLes SixInch. And yet, there are striking commonalities among a group of Soviet composers all born in the 1930s. They were hailed from ethnic minorities in the Russia-dominated Soviet Union and they defied the cultural-political directives which eventually led them to find a post-ideological musical language - guided by a personal faith - that enchants listeners to this day with it's unique beauty. Giya Kancheli, born in Tbilisi in 1935, is one of them. A fellow composer called him Inchan ascetic with the temperament of a maximalist - a restrained Vesuvius.Inch The works on this disc - for and with the piano - display exactly that side of his To be able to make time seemingly stand still... while continuing to dance
![Aquila Altera Ensemble - Laude Ballate Saltarelli & Villanelle - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5c55e212-7ad9-4ed8-aeab-451f53b91c34.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The Aquila Altera ensemble keeps in mind the acquisitions of the most reliable musicological studies that claim that the gap between us and early music is so unbridgeable as to make it impossible to take into consideration any musical performance removing it from it's own historical context and time; but this does not prevent the ensemble from developing a particular musical approach whereby music from the learned, therefore written, tradition, is compared with music that owes it's existence to oral transmission. This research sets the two repertoires side by side, endeavoring to detect a possible relationship between them, not only in their musical aspects, but also in their texts. The repertoire that is presented here, which is entirely Italian, juxtaposes pieces drawn from manuscripts or printed collections from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries with pieces (and performance practices) that stem from an oral tradition and from the use of musical instruments of the Italian tradition, in addition to the more common ones. These instruments have been reconstructed on the basis of the historical sources, and one of the most widespread and musically important is the bagpipe.
