Trovesi, Gianluigi/Umberto Petrin/Fulvio Maras - Vaghissimo Ritratto

SKU 28-ECM1983
"What a stunning achievement! Italian reedman Gianluigi Trovesi is at his best in this new album, which also feautures Umberto Petrin on piano and Fulvio Maras on percussions and electronics. But what what kind of music is this? Is it jazz? Is it chamber music? Is it crossover? First and foremost, it's melody, pure and sheer melody -- the one you may want to listen to while wandering about the streets of the Italian cities on a sunny day. Trovesi's alto clarinet plays (recreates) ancient compositions (Orlando di Lasso, Luca Marenzio, Monteverdi, Josquin Desprez), which are perfectly at ease with more recent ones (XIX century composer Alfredo Piatti, songwriters Luigi Tenco and Jacques Brel). Intertwined are original tunes by the trio. Soft and gentle is the touch, no notes are used that are not necessary. You can't help but marvel at the beauty of this music. Go grab it!"
