John CAGE<br />
Imaginary Landscapes<br />
Ensemble Prometeo/Marco Angius: conductor<br />
CAGE: Imaginary Landscapes Nos. 1–5 • Sixteen Dances<br />
release date: July 10, 2012 stradivarius<br />
Landscape and dance, <strong>the</strong> two <strong>the</strong>mes proposed by this CD—conceived as <strong>the</strong> prolongation<br />
of <strong>the</strong> homage to John Cage performed on October 22, 2009 in Parma—intersect with a natural<br />
circularity in <strong>the</strong> mysterious world of <strong>the</strong> great musician, who once declared graphically:<br />
“Until I die <strong>the</strong>re will be sounds. And <strong>the</strong>y will continue following my death.”<br />
Alessandro SCARLATTI<br />
Ardo è ver: Sonatas & Cantatas with Flute<br />
Valentina Varriale: soprano/Tommaso Rossi: recorder/Ensemble Barocco di Napoli/Raffaele Di<br />
Donna: recorder/Ugo Di Giovanni: archlute/Marco Vitali: cello/Patrizia Varone: harpsichord<br />
A. SCARLATTI: Sonatas in G & F • Mentre Clori la bella • Ardo è ver per te d’amore • Filli, tu sai<br />
ch’io t’amo • Clori mia, Clori bella • Augellin, vago e canoro<br />
In <strong>the</strong> context of Alessandro Scarlatti’s immense musical production, <strong>the</strong> recorder repertory<br />
certainly plays an important role, <strong>the</strong> fruit of an interest spanning <strong>the</strong> entire career of <strong>the</strong> composer<br />
both in his instrumental works and in larger orchestral groups of serenades and musical dramas.<br />
This CD proposes cantatas with <strong>the</strong> soprano voice requiring one or two recorders, besides two<br />
sonatas for recorder and basso continuo. It is a homogeneous musical corpus, not by chance almost<br />
all contained in two manuscripts preserved in <strong>the</strong> extraordinary Santini collection, preserved in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Diözesanbiblio<strong>the</strong>k Münster, with <strong>the</strong> exception of <strong>the</strong> cantata “Ardo è ver per te d’amore,” a<br />
manuscript copy of which is in <strong>the</strong> library of <strong>the</strong> Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella in Naples.<br />
Marco DI BARI<br />
… di un mirabile gioco sonoro<br />

reale Firenze (Giomi-Meacci): live electronics/RAI National Symphony Orchestra/Pascal Rophé:<br />
conductor/Quartetto Accademia/Eduard Brunner: clarinet/Walter Grimmer: cello<br />
DI BARI: … di un mirabile gioco sonoro • All Is Lost • Bird’s Fractal Voice<br />
The highly refined work of Marco Di Bari reveals a cultured individual who is fully aware of<br />
<strong>the</strong> traditions to which he refers. Piano is a constant presence in <strong>the</strong> work of this composer. The<br />
tradition of <strong>the</strong> instrument is interpreted through <strong>the</strong> investigation of objects and technical<br />
formulas that are used to generate new sonorous ideas and deep emotions. The relation between<br />
past and future, between usual and unusual techniques, is approached from a contemporary point<br />
of view, thus creating a successful and paradigmatic syn<strong>the</strong>sis.<br />
