Paolo Zentilin (piano)About
However, the extant scores are not free of errors, and they leave a good deal up to the performer. Paolo Zentilin makes the most of Giustini’s writing. He has corrected the obvious errors, and he exhibits taste and technical mastery in his playing of a modern, beautifully conditioned Fazioli piano. Exploiting the instrument’s tonal resources while remaining respectful of a Baroque sensibility, his playing is consistently passionate but never overblown, with an attractive full-bodied tone, and an exquisite sense of dynamic control. Extremely soft passages are executed with no loss of rhythmic vitality. Ornaments are rendered with delicate crispness. The music’s character – whether a regal dance or a study in tenderness – is always projected with sincerity and authenticity. No matter how intricate the counterpoint, the result remains genuinely heartfelt, never mechanical.
‘I tried to be clear in my articulation,’ remarks Zentilin in the booklet note, ‘as if I were using an historical instrument, but also to play with a pianistic approach – a wide sound palette and big contrasts, and the use of the pedals. I also improvised some of the ornamentation.’
