About
Italian composer Alessandro Appignani began to play piano and cello as a small child, and was later drawn to composition, with a keen interest in the avant-garde of the 20th century. Alfred Schnittke is cited by Appignani as a composer who both inspired and influenced him. He studied piano with Marco Fumo, Hans Graf and Lazar Berman. His music is personal and as poetical as the titles might suggest.
Appignani’s music cannot be put into a style, it presents life in all its expressions and feelings, from simple folksong to frantic complexity and energy.
These first recordings of music by this young Italian composer are performed by top class musicians, in a chamber music setting.
Recordings made in 2009 and 2010.
