Sandro Ivo Bartoli (piano)About
After Frescobaldi was appointed organist of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, many aspiring musicians travelled there in order to study with him, and his influence on later composers of the Baroque period is undeniable.
This release is dedicated to arrangements of Frescobaldi’s music, with each composition bearing the hallmarks of its transcriber’s distinct style. In addition to offerings by Respighi, Bauer and Feinberg, the disc features Reicha’s 36 Fugues pour le Pianoforte - a work that pays homage to the early Baroque composer through its use of the composer’s Recercar Chromatico.
The same theme also appears in Ligeti’s Omaggio a Girolamo Frescobaldi, a modern interpretation using the twelvetone scale, and the compilation extends its twentieth century focus through the inclusion of Bartόk - a composer who, during his years as a touring concert pianist, acquired the Torchi edition of Frescobaldi’s works while on a trip to Italy.
In his fourth recording for Brilliant Classics, Sandro Ivo Bartoli, a leading interpreter of early20thcentury music and hailed as one of the most exciting pianists of his generation, casts a new perspective on the Italian genius’s works and shows the extent to which his music produced a legacy that permeated the Classical period and beyond.
