Info zu Pratella & Anzoletti: Musiche per viola e pianoforte ()

Francesco Balilla Pratella ist als Musiker und Theoretiker des Futurismus bekannt, doch sein Wirken war weitaus vielfältiger: Er war Schriftsteller, Librettist, Ethnomusikologe und Direktor des „Verdi“-Instituts in Ravenna. Er studierte in Pesaro bei Antonio Cicognani, dem er die „Sonata prima per organo op. 23“ (1917) widmete, in der sich Anklänge an den Barock mit Tendenzen zur Atonalität vermischen. Er setzte sich engagiert für die Verbreitung italienischer Instrumentalmusik ein, wie die hier vorgestellten Transkriptionen für Bratsche und Klavier von Francesco Pasi belegen. Dieses Projekt umfasst zudem die „7 Composizioni per viola e pianoforte“ von Marco Anzoletti (1867–1929), virtuos und melodramatisch, die den Konflikt zwischen Operntradition und mitteleuropäischen Einflüssen verkörpern. Alle Stücke auf dieser Aufnahme – kuratiert von Federica Cardinali und Lisa Redorici – sind Weltpremieren, das Ergebnis philologischer Forschung, die ein zu Unrecht vergessenes italienisches Instrumental-Erbe wieder ans Licht bringt.
