About
Our journey continues with Raffaele Gervasio (Bari, 1910-Rome, 1994), a pupil of the pianist Italo Delle Cese and the violinist Gioconda De Vito (Bari) and then of Ottorino Respighi (Rome). One of the most interesting Apulian composers of the last century, Gervasio has worked closely for radio, theatre, cinema and television. Rota invited him to teach Composition at Conservatory of Bari (1967). In addition, Gervasio directed the Conservatory of Matera from 1969. Capitoli, op.132, (1994) is the result of seven movements juxtaposed (Andantino, Allegro, Andante, Scorrevole, Andante mosso, Allegro, Andante mosso) where the clarinet, piano and cello trigger a game of tensions and distensions, shaping a fascinating dialogue dappled by intermittent imaginative oneiricism.
Tied to tradition but projected towards the future, Teresa Procaccini (b. 1934) builds her musical idiom on the fidelity to formal classical values and, at the same time, new sounds possibilities. The youthful Sonata rapsodica for cello and piano, op.8 (1957), is characterized by dramatic atmosphere and vibrant restlessness, emphasized with extraordinary poetry. A tripartite first movement (Adagio, Andante, Presto), particularly desultory and rhapsodic, seems to linger in giving substance to something under-said and oversung, before the euphoric Allegro vivace, swift blazing. The Trio for clarinet, cello and piano, op.36 (1968), doesn’t get far away the “tradition of the new”, woven from a melodic lyricism that opens out in ample lines.
Matteo Mastromarino, clarinetist, has studied in the most prestigious schools such as Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome and Haute École de Musique in Geneva. He has performed as soloist with several orchestras like Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisbőa and Orchestra della Magna Grecia. He is the winner of Malta Woodwind Competition and Lisbon International Clarinet Competition, and since 2020 he is Principal Clarinet of Turku Philharmonic Orchestra.
Ludovica Rana is one of the most gifted cellists in Italy of her generation, and she caught public attention winning prestigious competitions such as Vittorio Veneto, Geminiani, “The Note Zagreb” Award at Janigro Competition. She studied with Enrico Dindo, Giovanni Sollima, Frans Helmerson and Asier Polo and she performed in important concert series in Italy and abroad. She recorded intensively as chamber musician for labels like Sony, Amadeus, MVC and RAIRadio3.
Stefania Argentieri, pianist, won Gold Medal at Premio Maison Des Artistes, performs regularly all over the world in prestigious halls. She recorded for Radio Vaticana, Euro-ClassicPlanet and the Italian Institute of Culture in Los Angeles. She is winner of several national and international piano competitions.
