Ferdinando NazzaroAbout
Ugoletti (b.1956) declares himself independent of compositional schools, having studied with Donatoni and Manzoni and then been influenced by American Minimalism during his period as Composer in Residence at Santa Cruz University in California. The three concertos on his new album share a rhythmic zest, an engagement with popular and film musics and a simple, direct joy of expression.
The Concerto for Saxophone and Piano adeptly contrasts the melodic and percussive natures of the solo instruments. Echoes of Irish jigs and reels may be heard in the Violin Concerto (Ugoletti has written for folk instruments across European cultures, including the uillean pipes), and the Trombone Concerto is dedicated to the godfather of funk, James Brown. The finale of this Concerto Festivo paraphrases Brown’s defining anthem, Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag.
Marshalled by an experienced Italian conductor, the strings of the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra are joined by a multinational array of soloists. The saxophonist Gianni Alberti was born in Ugoletti’s home town of Brescia and has ‘crossed over’ throughout his career between the worlds of classical and jazz, playing in the hinterland of a music outside genres to which Ugoletti proudly belongs.
