Info for Unia - Rossaro - Longo: Sonate per pianoforte

The recording, entrusted to the award-winning pianist Massimiliano Génot (who previously spearheaded the rediscovery of the composers Federico Bufaletti and Giuseppe Unia), focuses on the Romantic piano sonata in nineteenth-century Italy. The subject is particularly interesting because 19th-century Italian piano compositions are largely unknown today, partly due to the overwhelming dominance of opera and theatre music of that era, which already overshadowed all other musical genres. Massimiliano Génot’s passionate interpretation does justice to these significant compositions, which deserve careful consideration within the European piano landscape of that time. The compositions by Giuseppe Unia, Carlo Rossaro and Alessandro Longo represent a far-reaching synthesis of Italian tradition and influences from beyond the Alps, in which solid compositional technique and typically Italian expressiveness are combined in a manner that is as natural as it is masterful.
