The exciting musical vein of a genius with an overflowing personality such as Gioacchino Rossini can be effectively rendered only by a performer with equal technical and musical energy Andrea Noferini, first cello of the Rome Opera House, labeled by the specialized press as the undisputed technical reference of his instrument. On the new album he performs, accompanied by Denis Zardi on the piano, and Massimo Giorgi on the double bass, Rossini's original compositions for cello and piano and for cello and double bass, as well as two compositions written on the themes of the InchSwan of PesaroInch by Bohuslav Martinu and Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco. Completing the Rossiniana silloge two compositions from the late nineteenth century Czardas by Vittorio Monti, based on themes of Hungarian folklore, and the Valacca Legend (Serenade of the angels) by Gaetano Braga, a touching melody inspired by the dialogue between a mother and her dying daughter.

Within this album Fernando Caida Greco is presenting an excursus into the world of contemporary music dedicated to the solo cello, supported by a group of young composers who face the challenge of collecting a legacy originating back in the late seventeenth century, when the works of the main virtuosos dedicated to this instrument made their way into the European musical panorama for the first time (see for example Domenico Gabrielli, cornerstone of the great Bolognese school). Caida Greco plays a perfectly preserved nineteenth-century cello with a gut string setting that gives the instrument an expressiveness not achievable with modern steel strings. Album Tracks 1.
