COMPOSER: Alfredo Casella • Luigi • This album is entirely dedicated to harp and introduces us to two composers active in the Historical Italian twentieth centruy period - Alfredo Casella. • Casella’s shy nature led him to compose more for himself than for the public or for the fame. • The passionate interpretation by Alessandra Ziveri approaches with great momentum this double challenge: the premiere recording of unknown works and the Casella sonata an absolute harp music milestone.
