Fiorini: In The Midst Of Things - Piano And Chambe
) | Label: GRAND PIANO Catalog: GP880 Format: COMPACT DISC Ashkenazy, Dimitri; Farrugia, Charlene; Raimondi, Rebecca; Kropfitsch, StefanMaltese composer Karl Fiorini is a European without frontiers – the compositions in this album reflect his early detachment from a Mediterranean identity towards a more varied and intense sound world. Trio Lamina features elements of Bartók’s ‘night music’ in its complex sub-sections, whereas Fiorini’s two piano studies, which predate his move to Paris, already exude a Gallic ambience. Influenced by North African folk music, the Piano Trio expands his global reach, and the Piano Sonata, a gritty virtuoso concert piece, shifts geographical influence towards Eastern Europe to powerful effect. All of these world première recordings were recorded in the presence of the composer.  Price: $24.98 |
