Edna Stern (piano)About
"A couple of years ago, a friend asked me if I knew Baldassare Galuppi. I thought it's a nice name but I had no clue as to whom he was and accepted rather skeptically the scores he gave me. I discovered beautiful pieces and could hardly understand how this composer, who was so famous in his time and whose music often reminds us of Mozart, could be thus neglected nowadays.
What makes Galuppi an outstanding composer is the variety of different styles in which he wrote, the modernity of many of his musical ideas, and his unmistakable and typical Italian identity expressed in a certain lightness, whether it be in his more baroque pieces written "à la Vivaldi" (the D minor Sonata tracks 3 and 4), or the Mozartean three movement sonatas with their beautiful bel canto themes (many of which were most probably written before Mozart wrote his own).
The C minor Sonata I recorded here (tracks 1 and 2) is in a style somewhere in between those two poles. It's not a baroque Sonata and not yet a classical one either, which brings me to the idea behind this recording's program."
