Ingenero: Giovanni Martini. Distribuidor: Diverdi.
De las poquìsimas obras camerìsticas compuestas por Cilea se han escogito para este disco
dos pàginas de juventud: el Trio (1886) y la Sonata (1888), dunque esta ultima fue revisada en
1947, y dos obras tan de su ultima etapa: la Suite (1937) y las Tres piezas, de 1949, tan sòlo
un ano antes de su muerte. Todas ellas poseen un rico caudal melodico, lìneas suaves sin
apenas aristas y un certo clima de melancolìa en de la expresìon; estamos en definitiva ante
una musica amable, de buen gusto, solidamente construida, que refleja un mundo sonoro entre
nostalgico y decadente. Asì lo han entendido los intérpretes, que se entregan a unas lecturas
muy equilibradas, diàfanas y convincentes en su consunto, ayudados por una grabaciòn de
extraorinaria presenzia.

Beautiful natural recording. The relationship between the tools has balanced.
Interpretation: Excellent
Interesting disk that, to exception of the Theme with 1932 variations for violin and piano,
introduces us the whole room music of the author. meritorious Project because it allows of to
give a glance to a little known rather unkown part of the production of a composer remained
almost exclusively in repertoire with the work The Arlesiana and Adriana Lecouvreur to us………
The executions are very musical and you stamp to a honest discursive simplicity… .A the
Sonata op. 38 was composed at the age of 22 and it possesses an expressive painful Breadth,
well outlined from the authors with a melancholy not of manner. … ...il Trio, work of a twenty-
year old (1886), it seems the most homogeneous passage and the interpreters they succeed
well in characterizing the bright footsteps, rhesuses with musical fun and the moments more
musical, underlining the airy expressively and you refine melodies of the author……… .The
performance of the interpreters is overall excellent, both in the technical details and in the
definition of the score

A Genoese Trio to the rediscovery of Francesco Cilea
Cilea is said, and it immediately comes from to remember the best Magda Olivero in the round
airy in you great flat “Io son l’umile ancella” of the first act of Adriana Lecouvreur. But this
Calabrian author.... artistically “framed” between the composers of her “Young School”, you is
not devoted to the lyric work only. A recent CD remembers “Francesco Cilea Chamber Music”
published for the label Milanese Agorà, in which a young Trio (Mario Vassilev violin, Giulio
Glavina cello and Massimo Anfossi piano) it proposes an as interesting as few known and
repertoire chamber music from Cilea… The delicate phrasing the extraordinary lyricism,
sometimes the irony, the equilibrium of passages as the Sonata op. 38 in great king and the
Suite in E for plain violin and cello, the three Pieces op. 43 for Cello and Plan, remembered by
this incision deserve special attention and sincere plause of approval. Beautiful, warm and
refined the interpretative reading of the three performers equally in relief in the varied moments
of these pages from an impeccable recording.

The precocious talent of Clement he addressed since immediately and with good results toward
the compositions for piano with sonata in the greatest flat, as it is been worthwhile to one of the
personalities more imposing of the years to horse between the XVIII and the XIX century. To
him the immense worth goes to have instructed the genius of Bonn and to have influenced with
sonatas of the op. 12 some of the fundamental style of the first sonatas for piano of youth
student. In the CD in examination I/you/they have proposed three sonatas dall’op.3 composed
from Clement in 1779, all of them structured in two times of character rather diamond and
gallant anchor distantly, according to the legacy of J.C. Bach. In these first three sonatas the
musicians give excellent interpretations...

Pages from living room
After having listened exclusively till now to this first selection of the vast production in the kind of
in partnership Muzio Clement -author to the production for piano–it’s clear that the formulation of
these texts is at its very first beginnings, but the style is clearly already addressed toward an
important composition. It is worth for Clement (as for the first picked Mozartiana, after all) is the
ancient formula of “Played with accompaniment of Violin” and straight it is worth the convention
that in the jobs in three time-here the first two Sonatas of the op. 13 -the central movement
(affectionate Larghetto and Larghetto) is entrusted to the alone piano, that is expressed in gallant
lyric confessions… ...this character agreeably from living roome, with short melodies, well
separate expressive circles…… ...and a delicious redemption which makes real good time

“...with the critic precision that countersigns his work, Anfossi refuses this approach resolutely,
almost putting instead in prominence the proximity to the style Bieder-maier of J.C. Bach.–of
made well however a great deal in his/her execution… .Cd indeed not losing….”
“...Anfossi, Vassilev and Glavina, are absolutely at ease with these texts of extraordinary formal
elegance and amazing melodic wealth, it emerges in clear way the sincere fun of the
musicians….”
“... the touch of Anfossi, refined interpreter,… . the depth of XIX century piano… as you can
listen whenever the score allows of to widen in adagios and slow times. Neither the brilliant
quartet falls when Bolling calls for jazz, expressing instead a remarkable footstep swing …
perfect .recording for the neatness, for the balancing of the tools and for the wealth of the
dynamics. Wonderful work, deserving great success both in sales and critical approvals ….”
