Leonardo Garcia Alarcon - La Finta Pazza - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Most jazz musicians are also travellers. Their places of work are the clubs and festivals of the world, so they are always on the go. Echoes of Swing, however, has another dimension This quartet is also on a journey through time, going back to classic jazz from the 20s to the 50s, bringing it into the present day and shaping it for the future. This Inchtour de forceInch has been going on for two decades. This is a reason then to celebrate, which is perhaps best done by retracing the journey, reviving memories of things experienced, and looking at all that travelling involves. The whole panoply of impressions that one has on a voyage is translated into music in InchTravelin.Inch Numerous original compositions and complex arrangements, with pieces originally for solo or orchestra are adapted for the quartet, testifying a profound knowledge of the history of music, and there is not a single bar which fails to deliver exquisite taste. It's all aboard and indeed the best proof yet that travelling does indeed expand one's horizons. After twenty years on the road, this ensemble has wagonloads of style, elegance, finesse, improvisation and humor- and has honed all of these to perfection. Album Tracks 1. Orient Express 2.

The project of the musicologist Nicoletta Confalone and of the guitarist Federica Artuso is aimed at the discovery of Emilia Giuliani, illegitimate daughter of the famous Mauro Giuliani that, with his guitar and his compositions, conquered Vienna, the capital of 19th century music. Emilia lived her entire life in a continuous state of difficulty and discomfort, dying of typhus at the age of only thirty- seven. The adverse events of her life and her condition as a woman (considering that in her days it was almost impossible to express her talent as an artist) did not prevent her from reaping flattering successes from audiences and critics in the many European stages of her unfortunately short life suffice for all the quotation of some Viennese critics who, after a concert she shared with Franz Liszt, exclaimed with admiration InchEvery finger, one Liszt!Inch. In addition to her amazing skills as an instrumentalist, she was also appreciated for her music that she managed to publish with the major publishers of the time Giovanni Ricordi in Milan and Artaria in Vienna. This double album includes her complete work for guitar, for the first time on an historic instrument, a 1830 René Lacote. Album Tracks 1. Preludes (6), for guitar, Op. 46~Preludio No. 1 2.
