Antonio Pompa-Baldi (piano)About
'The Rascal and the Sparrow' brings together the art of both of these musical icons for the first time: Songs made famous by Piaf and Poulenc's own art songs are given a new voice through elegant arrangements for solo piano.
Though the two may never have met, their two personalities possessed many points in common. Poulenc's original work for solo piano, his Improvisation #15 "Hommage a Edith Piaf", is the inspiration and the bridge between their worlds on this album.
Antonio Pompa-Baldi makes his Steinway label debut with this release. His own arrangements of the Poulenc songs weave through Italian composer Roberto Piana's "elaborations" of Piaf's music, creating an ingenious and beautiful musical conversation.
