description
A native of Sicily, the composer Angelo Gilardino has been inspired by the landscape to compose the works on this disc, but as he says, ‘I am not concerned whether my compositions conjure for the listener images of Sicily: I wrote them with Sicilian myths and locations in mind. I don’t know exactly how this came about, and I am not particularly interested in finding out. But I was definitely not thinking consciously about folk music.’ Au pays parfumé is a set of five inventions for guitar and harpsichord (2013), taking its title from the poetry of Baudelaire. The instruments are not timbrally contrasted but woven to create a composite texture of constantly changing hues. Parthenicum and Capriccio Etneo are both solo works dating from 2014, the former an abstractly structured sonata, the latter a more free-form fantasia loosely based on a Classical rondo.
