description
The organ music of lesser-known Italian composers has been explored by Marco Ruggeri on several Brilliant Classics albums devoted to Giovanni Morandi (BC95333), Vincenzo Petrali (BC95160) and Davide da Bergamo (BC94964). Now he turns to the diverse output of Polibio Fumagalli (1830-1900), a Milan-based organist and composer from a distinguished musical family. He was professor of organ at the city’s conservatoire until his death, and also taught piano and was music director of a Milanese church. In such capacities Fumagalli came to know the organ builder Giuseppe Bernasconi, and to prize his work, which can be heard on this album: Ruggeri plays two instruments by Bernasconi, in the churches of Vaprio d’Adda and Vercelli. Bernasconi’s technical innovations included increasing the registral colours and scale of Italian instruments in order to emulate a late-Romantic orchestra. Fumagalli made ample use of such opportunities, as may be heard in these riotously exuberant and uninhibited performances.
