About

Sea's Widows: The project There are sometimes encounters that seem to arise by chance, almost on the sly and then turn out to be discoveries, strong and decisive energies, great beginnings liaisons destined to last and to generate something else and to mark our years. The encounters witnessed by this disc are marked by these certainly very special and rare artistic and human paths, where human harmony, professional rigor, passion and musical "carnality" unite my music with the extraordinary interpretative qualities of Maria Perrotta, Alda Caiello, and the Helios Ensemble. Maria and Alda are the driving forces of this work which was born in fact as an ItalianFrench collaboration. I began my first international affirmations in France at the 1991 Avignon Festival, invited by Luciano Berio to compose an opera: L'Histoire de Saint Julien l'Hospitalier. Maria created the driving force of her life and her career in Paris where she prepared recordings of international caliber for Decca. Alda, who has a long history of acquaintances and affirmations with France, a "historic" voice in Europe for the twentiethcentury and contemporary repertoire, sang in my opera Camera Obscura back in 2001 at the Venice Biennale and since then she has become "the voice" of my music. The project was born after a monographic concert held at the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris in june 2021, at the request of the performers themselves and of the beautiful Parisian welcome to this music. The disc includes eight pieces: six first recordings and an absolute premiere written for Maria. In fact I am composing the third volume dedicated to the piano: Sei studi sulla mente e sul corpo. The album also contains the first study La stupeur des gouttes qui rayent la vitre and the second Les sons dans la tête dedicated to Maria.
