Silvia Chiesa<\/strong><\/a>, the Italian cellist, born in Milan, is dedicating, with great courage, much of her artistic commitment to the discovery of a musical heritage of extraordinary value: that of the Italian compositions of the 20th century. To this repertoire, which is mostly still to be discovered, she has dedicated a new CD, presented to the press in Milan, in \u201cThe Arte Povera Hall of the Museo del ‘900\u201d as well as in the “Gabinetto di Viesseux\u201d in Florence and in \u201cVilla Taormina\u201d, in Rome. The CD follows the two previous ones of the Milanese cellist: the first was dedicated to the compositions of Nino Rota and the second to Alfredo Casella, Ottorino Respighi, and Ildebrando Pizzetti.
\nIn the recent recording, for the first time, the three Concertos for cello and orchestra of three great composers of the 20th century are put together: Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco (first Italian recording) Gian Francesco Malipiero and Riccardo Malipiero (first world recording).
\nThe cellist is accompanied by the Rai Symphony Orchestra, where Massimilano Caldi conducts and coordinates the voice of the solo cello and the chorus of the other instruments.
\nThe CD offers the listener a fresco of the XIX century in Italy. The fluctuation of sounds, with alternating rhythms and movements, sometimes harsh, complex, painful, and sometimes with wide openings of neoclassical serenity, reconstructs a world that seems to regret moments of peace and contemplation now lost. It draws a difficult world, that hardly reconciles the desire for serenity with the advent of modernity, technology, and progress, not only intellectual, which opens up new hopes, but also new unexplored conflicts, especially the inner ones.
\nMario Castelnuovo Tedesco (1895-1968) wrote his Concerto for cello and orchestra for Gregorij Pjatigorskij, who performed it for the first time conducted by A. Toscanini, in New York, on 31st January 1935. This concert requires the interpreter to have great purity of sound, excellent technical mastery, and the ability to transmit emotions of every kind, warmly and intensely.
\nThe composition of the Concerto by Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973) was concluded in Asolo (Treviso) on April 28, 1937. The protagonist of the world premiere of this Concerto was the great cellist Enrico Mainardi, in Belgrade, on January 31, 1939. The most important biographer of Malipiero, John CG Waterhouse wrote about it: \u201cIt is a compact page that enhances the dialogue between soloist and orchestra, an emblematic manifestation of expressive happiness of neoclassical coinage”.
\nRiccardo Malipiero (1914-2003), son of Gian Francesco Malipiero’s brother, dedicated his Concerto to his father, a great cellist, composer, and teacher. The concert, marked by a “serial” writing, was performed for the first time, at \u201cLa Scala\u201d, on October 30, 1957, by the Catalan cellist Gaspar Cassad\u00f2.
\nA CD, therefore, is full of suggestions poised between past and future, between impressionistic and neoclassical nostalgia, and openings on the new avant-gardes of the culture of the time.
\nSony Classical made a courageous choice and, by reaping the fruits of Silvia Chiesa’s musicological research, it accepted to produce this CD, as a logical completion of the one dedicated to Rota and the other, dedicated to Casella, Respighi, and Pizzetti, and also to offer the public the opportunity to deepen the knowledge of a repertoire that is still not often proposed, but of extraordinary musicological and artistic interest.
\nThe CD booklet is enriched by beautiful photos and the notes (in Italian and English) about the interpreters, the authors, and the recording are very interesting.<\/p>\n
