Sales Information:
The music, featured here in chronological order, spans an extended period of time,
from 1900 to 2015. The intention of the project is clear: to propose a trajectory that
through this repertoire, not so frequent among Italian composers, allows discoveries,
re-discoveries and new refections on historic works.
No other country has had a greater impact on the development and innovation of
Western music than Italy. From notation systems to the invention of different musical
genres, Italian music theorists, pedagogues, composers and artists have played an
indispensable role in the creation of new musical forms.
Encompassing music from the post-Romantic style of composer Guido Alberto Fano
to one of today's leading Italian compositional voices Cristian Carrara, as well as the
highly original musical language of Luigi Dallapiccola and Silvio Omizzolo, this
recording provides a rare opportunity to experience the contributions of four Italian
composers from the modern era to the literature for piano and orchestra.
Pianist Roberto Prosseda, a champion of Italian contemporary music and
undiscovered piano music from the old masters, is the protagonist and the motor
behind this project.
"Grateful for the opportunity to share this extraordinary music with the world, I hope
this recording will contribute to Italy's well-deserved place in the piano concerto genre,
and delight audiences around the globe." Nir Kabarett
