CLASSICAL: Original compositions by Giorgio Gaslini. Live recording at Teatro
Dal Verme, Milano, Italy, on March 2003.
ADIANTUM: apart from being a plant that grows in Capelvenere, Adiantum is
also a concert for piano and orchestra in four movements: The power of this work
lays inside its need of taking out all the passion that this magnificent music
can provoke to those who venture on this musical journey. WEILL IN BROADWAY:
this is a huge symphonic opera arranged in a classical set of Four Parts with a
soloist piano playing just in the final section. This work, far from being the
average adaptation or some sort of badly mixed medley, melts together symphonic
concepts and themes from the American “Weill”. ALABAMA SUITE: after the
execution of “Weill in Broadway”, its conductor, who was the one who played the
piano in the last part, the audience used to ask him for more pieces. “Alabama
Suite” is one of these. What we have here is a suite for piano where the
melodies and the rhythms, dug out from many Afro-American themes (spiritual
life, everyday work, juvenile games), form a sole concert piano piece, so modern
that it preserves perfectly the original spirit and essence of those ancient
chants. Giorgio Gaslini
