Diego Cannizzaro - Pietro Alessandro Yon: Complete Organ Music, Vol. 4 (2017)

The first three volumes of the complete collection for organ by Pietro Alessandro Yon have allowed to show the eclectic personality of the composer, suspended between sacred and profane. His music is full of the suggestions characterized by motherland’s melancholy and the precious miniatures of his new “home” in USA. This CD instead presents three works that allowed to appreciate Yon, putting it in relationship with the style of the main authors of his time and revealing surprising analogies with Marco Enrico Bossi, great organ musician who gets a huge success, beyond the Ocean, a generation before Yon. Performing those sonatas of extraordinary fascination and of challenging writing, Diego Cannizzaro has chosen the organ Pacifico Inzoli inside Chiesa di San Domenico in Palermo, an instrument built in 1898 that exalts at its maximum the brilliant sonorities of those works.
