Descrizione

In the present collection some 2012 live recordings by this interesting pianist are presented. At first impact the vivid energy with which Mr Belotti interpretes A. Marcello and D. Scarlatti catches the ear. In this playing, the pianist shows warm, lyric temperament; moreover his precise and clear tecnique together with his constant search for beautiful sound are elements which sharply emerge from the very beginning and as the whole listening goes on. Yet the pianist’s intimistic sensitivity perfectly emerges in the expressive pieces by those same authors and perhaps reach its highest. His sensitivity allows him later to grasp other nuances when he plays the two pieces by Paganini-R. Schumann, two shining piano-trascription stones. The Dvd starts with a warm trascription of A Marcello’s “Adagio”, taken from his famous “Oboe Concerto” followed by two D. Scarlatti “sonatas”, played with taste and charme. The M. Clementi piano sonata expresses instead the art of the most important Italian composer of Classicism. His piano sonatas should be considered in fact at the same level of Haydn and Mozart ones. The E. Pozzoli studies are a concentrate of pianistic art and tecnique, being composed by one of the most important Italian teachers of the XX Century.

The style of these studies is very “modern” and interesting and it opens the way to a new idea of classical music that some interesting young composers have being proposing since the beginning of the new Millenium. The R. Schumann Paganini-Etudes are two shining stones and a precious “homage” to the world’s greatest violinist. The piano piece “Etudes Symphonique” op. 13, that is presented here in the first version, is one of the most demanding piece of the pianistic repertoire, but also one of the most beautiful and seething with romantic “passionateness”. The Paradisi “Toccata” is a shining Italian baroque piece.
