Girolamo De Simone plays Luciano Cilio - LP integrale

الوصف:

The critically acclaimed "Dell'universo assente" has finally been released again in a stunning double‑LP and CD edition. The complete works composed by the legendary Neapolitan composer and musician are now digitally restored and include striking piano recordings of some additional in‑edited pieces transcribed and played by the composer Girolamo De Simone, curator of the edition and acclaimed interpreter, who is also the main person responsible for the rediscovery of Luciano Cilio’s work. "This record is not just a collection of musical pictures, but a large canvas painted with the air it was made in, like a private room never to be visited again, but remembered vividly when something like the way light hits a room or the smell of damp cinders brings it all back with overwhelming vividness. Cilio holds that moment in time, an authentic emotional testament, something to be cherished." – Jim O'Rourke. Girolamo De Simone, born in Naples in 1964, is a musicologist, performer and cultural activist considered one of the most relevant figures on the fringes of the Italian musical new avant‑garde. As a pianist and composer, he was inspired by John Cage, Giuseppe Chiari and Luciano Cilio. He has performed in Italy and Europe, always arousing his audience’s enthusiasm with interpretations that are both terse and impassioned. He has realized important performances in Europe for UNESCO in Paris, Swiss Radio‑Television, Deutschlandfunk, and in Italy for Rai Due, Radio Rai Tre, Musica Verticale, Arsenale Musica, Musicaexperimento, among others. He has published a number of CDs, books and essays, and founded the contemporary music journal KonSequenz as well as the Konsequenz Music Project for the production of records, concerts and multimedia events.
