Massimo BelliAbout
The Serenade by Vasily Kalinnikov is a single‐movement Andantino. Light on its feet, with a waltz‐like flow and much delicate pizzicato writing, the Serenade plays with a single theme full of spring‐like freshness and optimism. There is a more complex structure and wider range of expressive moods to the multi‐movement works by Janáček and Elgar, but they are relatively early works, both informed by long practical experience as a violinist. Elgar’s Serenade is a miniature masterpiece, with a deeply felt central slow movement, and one of his first fully assured works, even if his regular publishers Novello declined to print it because ‘We find that this class of music is practically unsaleable’.
The Ferruccio Busoni Chamber Orchestra have previously appeared on Brilliant Classics with their music director Massimo Belli in an album of viola concertos (BC94971) by the 18th‐century Milanese composer Alessandro Rolla. In 2015 the orchestra celebrated its 50th anniversary by making this album and with a concert in its home‐town of Trieste, which was recorded live and subsequently released on CD. Together they have made several recordings of Classical and Romantic repertoire which have received five‐star reviews in the Italian press.
