The most comprehensive set ever dedicated to the music of a neglected Italian Romantic, reissuing modern performances which have been recognised for their sensitivity and dynamism.
As a one-time pupil of Franz Liszt, winning admiration from Richard Wagner at an early stage in his career, Giovanni Sgambati pursued a vocation outside the mainstream of 19th-century Italian music. Rather than opera, he was drawn above all to Germanic instrumental models of the concerto, quartet and symphony, prefiguring in this way the music of Martucci and Respighi as they sought to reclaim those models within an Italian tradition.
Another of his successors, Alfredo Casella, paid warm tribute to him as a pioneer: ‘The work of Sgambati, is of real importance in musical history… it was he, at all events, who pointed the way which Italian composers are now treading in ever greater numbers, with growing confidence, and with increasing success.’
Particularly notable in this set is the inclusion of the third and last of Sgambati’s symphonies. The First and Second have attracted recordings elsewhere, but under the direction of Francesco Attardi, who has made modern editions of several Sgambati works, the Third is revealed as a powerful symphonic statement in five movements and three parts – in this regard, if in few others, resembling Mahler’s Fifth, and taking marriage for its programmatic theme.
There is a nobility of utterance to the Third which makes a striking contrast with the blood and thunder of the G minor Piano Concerto, as well as with the intricately worked counterpoint of the Nonet for strings and the two Piano Quintets. Sgambati was agile in both mind and technique, adapting his idiom to his genres. Any listener hungry for out-of-the-way Romantic rarities will find rich rewards in this new, super-budget collection.
In previous Fanfare magazine reviews, it was noted that ‘Gaia Federica Caporiccio plays with a winsome freshness.’ ‘Caramiello’s performance is more ruminative, less frenetic... this is highly recommended.’ In reviewing the chamber music: ‘I find Brilliant’s newer recording much more to my liking.’
