Il Grotto Suono di Ghedini
« on: June 26, 2013, 12:26:46 PM »
I see no Ghedini Thread.

Ghedini lurks between Dallapiccola/Petrassi and Malipiero as an almost hidden name in mid-century Composers. Is he wild?;is he conservative? Who knows?

To my ears, Ghedini went the Bach-Stravinsky route. I have the Stradivarius disc of Chamber Music, which relates most to Malipiero, but I haven't heard the famous Violin Concerto yet.

Naxos has begun a series of Ghedini discs, including a new Orchestral disc featuring a Concerto for Orchestra (including the Complete Piano Music)! There are also quite a few options for other Concertos.

I was looking for another spiky mid-century Composer...

Ghedini is quite an original. Keep us informed about the Naxos cd's !

http://youtu.be/sPvMEOz4wXI

Marinaresca e bacchanale shows him as a virtuoso orchestrator but there's a lot of religious music that is simply radiant.



De Sabata did Marinaresca with the NY Phil!

And this is totally lovely ( no spikes however): Musica concertante for cello and strings (1962).

Guido Cantelli did the Partita per orchestra with the NBC orchestra.

The Concerto dell'Albatro starts in the most imposingly beautiful way, a kind of Bachian thing? It's on YT. Very nice. I think it's a Concerto for Piano Trio (with Orchestra) and reciter (Moby Dick I think).

Listening to the Double cello concerto Mahler is the main influence, the slow movement of the Fifth symphony redolent in the third movement and the opening of the First elsewhere; the work begins a little like the Elgar concerto then sounds like the Prokofiev Second Violin concerto, etc etc.

There's a brooding voice here and it's all relatively unusual but I see it as one more dead end I'm afraid.

Ghedini's music is so... clean! I do like clean Neo-Classicism.

Yes, but did he wax the music? It can't shine without being buffed out. :P

Actually, Karl, have you seen this new Ghedini Naxos disc, with a piece called 'Arcchitetture'(sic)? :Listen to the samples- talk about some super cool Neo-Classicism, very Stravinsky Orpheus/Apollo- but so clean! This was an instant like.

That is the very definition of Neo-classical. Classical is the core, and NEO is the buffing part, and the composer does the buffing.

I don't think I'd want to see him in a bikini.

If he composes a violin concerto and Hilary Hahn records it, I wouldn't mind the violinist in a bikini, though!
