> Gianfrancesco Malipiero - Il canto della lontananza Chamber music Aldo Orvieto and Marco Rapetti (pianos), Lucia Sciannimanico (soprano), Andrea Vio (violin), Teodora Campagnaro (cello) Over forty years separate the first composition on this recording from the last. On the Sonata a tre Malipiero wrote that the sound of the solo violin or cello shouldn't blend with the piano, which means the two instruments raise their voices only to contradict each other. The same happens if there are three instruments, as is the case in the third movement when the sonata actually becomes 'a tre' The Sonatina for cello and piano is dated 1942 and Malipiero places it in the wake of the Sonata a tre, simply adding that "it is slimmer and apparently more spontaneous". Dialoghi (Dialogues) is an ambivalent title, indicating as much the emotional nature of these inner conversations with the shadows of the past, as the concerto-like musical form of these works. Two pianos and occasionally the human voice vie with each other in animated conversation - freedom of discourse being one of the principal features of Malipiero's art.
