Jacopo Francini: BACH➠DONATONI

“Anche se immensamente distanti storicamente e come linguaggio, secondo me si può trovare un’affinità fra due grandi compositori come Bach e Donatoni, per la loro grande padronanza e maestria di usare e trasformare un materiale musicale in un procedimento costruttivo di elaborazione.” Jacopo Francini Jacopo Francini si presenta con Bach➠Donatoni: un’interessante registrazione per violoncello solista in cui sono […]
