About

In the third volume of this well-received series, Marco Sollini continues his journey through Rossini’s the substantial piano compositions performing the first recordings of 3 unpublished works, including Valzer, which was dedicated to the wife of Carl Rothschild. Nothing is known about the dedicatees of the other two unpublished pieces in this recording, the Moderato in la bemolle maggiore and the Valzer in mi bemolle maggiore, though we may deduce that they must have been members of the most select, solid middle class in France.
 
These works are coupled with the Peches de vieillesse: Album pour les Enfante Adolescentes. In these extraordinarily prophetic works Rossini anticipated the neo-classical movement, whose exponents included his young admirer Saint-Saens and Stravinsky. These sparkling and witty compositions, cannot fail to entertain.
 
Marco Sollini is a respected pianist, scholar and teacher. This is the final volume in the series.
Reviews from the previous releases:
