Stradivarius is pleased to announce the release of a CD by Andrea Rebaudengo, a pianist with an intense concert career and a particular predilection for music written over the last hundred years, featuring a performance of Finale by Paolo Castaldi (1930-2021), an Italian composer and essayist with a highly personal artistic path, ranked among the greatest contemporary Italian composers. Produced in collaboration with the Sentieri selvaggi cultural association, the album offers a live recording of the performance of Finale on December 1, 2008, in the presence of the composer, 35 years after the publication of the score, composed between 1971 and 1973. A monumental score lasting approximately 45 minutes and in four movements, the work marked a break with the spirit of the years in which it was published, revealing a new poetics on which the composer would later build much of his creative journey. The album thus offers a re-listen to an important body of twentieth-century piano composition, to rediscover a composer of fundamental importance for the musical languages of the second half of the twentieth century, then an isolated voice and today finally recognized.
