Emotive songs by Caccini and gorgeous trio-sonatas by Corelli provide the backbone [...]

The Laughing Cavalier – English Ayres

02-dic-12
Email

Few generations of artists have sensed the transience of life more keenly than the so-called ‘Cavalier’ poets and musicians of mid-17th century England.

Davide Viterbo – Distant City

01-dic-12
Email

On Distant City, the sequence of musical images follows a path where pictures had to be frozen, outlines blurred, the narration of the moment let free to reiterate until it reveals its inner frangible nature. All was driven by the perception of a city that’s drifting away, making us unaware spectators of its energy and [...]
