Fontanesi / Petrucci / Ensemble Sherazade

Chamber Music with Flute Fontanesi / Petrucci / Ensemble Sherazade

On this chamber music album the

Italian composer David Fontanesi copes

with three musical forms representative

of the Western classical tradition of the

last three centuries: the Sonata, the

Suite, the Divertimento.

The flute is the absolute protagonist of

all these pieces, being in dialogue either

with a piano, or with a classical trio of

strings (violin, viola, cello), or with a

second flute.

This album may be defined as exhibiting

an inheritance not of the 'Neue Musik'

of the 20th c. but rather the epoch of

composers like Milhaud, Francais,

Shostakovich and many more like them.
