Windsor/Cortesi - Alfredo Casella: The songs of the 'Parisian Years'

Alfredo Casella's songs for voice and piano constitute one of the most sensitive means in which the composer managed to deal with a culture that placed the m�lodie at the forefront, by surrounding it with the subtle reverberation emitted by the intertwining of music and poetry, over the background of a social custom that resounded with precious literary streaks. The voice of Lorna Windsor, accompanied on the piano by Raffaele Cortesi, reveals in all its nuances these compositions, belonging to the period when Casella was staying in the stimulating cultural forge of a Paris at the top of its social and artistic importance.
