Info for Duo pianistico: Dirani Amelotti -G. Rossini, L. Liviabella, F. Busoni (Remastered)



The name of GIOACHINO ROSSINI (Pesaro 1792 - Passy de Paris 1868) has remained linked to the production of operatic music for which he wrote striking pieces. His brilliant theatrical career stretches from the fresh inventiveness of the very first compositions to the unbridled vitality of Barbiere di Siviglia to the quiet thoughtfulness of Guglielmo Tell in 1829. From this moment the so-called "silence" of the composer begins. During the next forty years because of his faltering health, he avoided contact with the theatre. His silence was only apparent because he spent his last years busily composing chamber music, he himself collected un-der the name of Peches de vieillesse and elaborating the Petite Messe Solennelle which includes many original ideas. In the twentieth century arevaluation of Rossini has taken place and continues by means of the diffusion of the chamber works to which the following two pieces belong.

LA MARCIA (Pas redouble), written for the turkish sultan Abdul Medjid (thanks to it Rossini was awarded the order of Nicham-Iftihar), is instrumental music of the florentine period (1851-1855). The piece, composed in 1852, possibly for orchestra, was published by Ricordi in 1853-54 in two versions, one for piano and the other for piano duet (four hands). The regular movement of the march is presented with a marked 2/4 rhythm. From the basic C major tonality, which is articulated in tones of light frivolity or a suggestion of irony, we come to the central episode in F major which is followed by the recapitulation and coda in the main key.

Duo Clavier
was born in 1989 from the encounter between Paolo Dirani and Ferruccio Arnelotti, both pupils of the Hungarian pianist Ilonka Deckers. Currently, the duo has to its credit the publication of four CDs dedicated to the piano repertoire for four hands. Since 1990, they have been collaborating exclusively with 'Foné', for which they have recorded seven sonatas by Donizetti, the complete works of Rossini, Busoni, Martucci, Respighi, Casella, Liviabella, Malipiero and the complete Beethovenian production.

...brilliant, precise and enthralling performances by a very young duo of clear intelligence and sure taste... (William Weaver, Panorama)

...the young pianists very naturally reveal the magic of this music... (Jacques Bonnaure, Repertoire)

...precision, geometric taste, rhythmic clarity, not without a sensitive care, a deep desire for phrasing... (Piero Mioli, Pianotime)
