Marzio ContiAbout
Of the four symphonies that appear in his catalogue, Rota’s first and second were written simultaneously during the second half of the Thirties, when he had already developed his unmistakable, predominantly melodic style. Hints of a tenuous, well-balanced modernism are discernible, but at the same time he determinedly avoids any extreme experimentation. Common to both symphonies is a directness of expression embedded in a neoclassical style that constantly celebrates a landscape-in-sound.
Marzio Conti’s previous recordings of Rota’s music released on Chandos over the last few years were very well received:
‘Most of these are first recordings… but the performances are so loving, spirited and ingratiating that it is unlikely that any newcomers will best them. Splendid sound.’ (American Record Guide)
‘Altogether a pleasure. These are bright, capable, affectionate, well-pointed performances in good sound, with soloists who sound totally at home with the music…’ (International Record Review).
The Orchestra Filarmonica ‘900 was founded in 2003 and is recognised for its Twentieth Century music performances.
