Descrizione
In the present collection some juvenile recordings by this interesting pianist are presented together with more recent ones, both in studio and live. He usually used a very good 1989 baby-grand Yamaha (C3e 1.85).
The quality of the recording system (Sony Tc-d3 & Camera Sony Tr 705 Hi) as well as the smallsized studio are unpretentious, which didn’t allow a high sound quality.
Yet his warm liric temperament, Belotti’s precise and clear tecnique together which his constant search for beautiful sound are elements which sharply emerge from the very beginning and as the whole listening goes on. At first impact the vivid energy with which Belotti interprets J. S. Bach and some W A Mozart and Beethoven’s classics catches the ear.
Yet the pianist’s intimistic sensitivity perfectly emerges in the expressive pieces by those same authors and perhaphs reaches his highest.
The Beethoven’s op 109 performance shows in particular an interesting pianistic interpretation of the last period of composer life, where the attention is focused on espressive and trasgressive melodies. The pianist sensitivity allows him later to grasp other nuances when he plays the pieces by F. Chopin and F. Liszt, probably the greatest representatives of the highly prestigious musical tradition of the “Romanticism”, in a way in which he connects himself to the historical interpretations of those same authors, namely of romantic and yet composed, self-possessed character.
