Falasca, Fabrizio;
Redaelli, Stefania

95854

The Italian virtuoso pianist, composer and intellectual, Ferruccio Busoni, is mainly remembered for his magnificent works for piano, which are some of the most ferociously demanding in the repertoire. Devoted to the music of Liszt and later in life to Bach, Busoni wrote in a highly personal Late-Romantic style, complex, chromatic and hauntingly beautiful. • This new recording presents the two violin sonatas and a selection of the bagatelles Op. 28. The first sonata is from his youth, the magnificent second sonata is one of his first mature works in which he firmly establishes his new style: intensely lyrical and passionate, the third movement being a set of variations on a Bach Chorale, Wie wohl ist mir, O Freund der Seelen. • Fabrizio Falasca is one of the foremost Italian violinists of his generation. He performed at important festivals and with leading orchestras, presently he is concert master of the Philharmonia Orchestra. Pianist Stefania ReSdaelli collaborated with famous soloists such as Cecilia Bartoli, Salvatore Accardo and Viktor Tretiakov.
