Aldo Orvieto - Niccol� Castiglioni: Complete Piano Works, Vol. 1

Niccol� Castiglioni was one of the most singular figures on the Italian music scene of the latter half of the 20th century. Including world premiere recordings, Volume 1 of this complete edition reveals the exceptional quality of Castiglioni�s early piano works, the cantabile solemnity found in his exploration of twelve-tone techniques, and the quest for simplicity in later pieces that include the Seconda sonatina discovered among the composer�s papers after his death. The acclaimed pianist Aldo Orvieto has recorded and performed extensively throughout his career and is a specialist in Italian 20th-century repertoire.
