Giancarlo Aquilanti: Oltreoceano
Entirely dedicated to the piano works of Giancarlo Aquilanti, an Italian composer and professor at Stanford University, OLTREOCEANO, by casting both a physical and metaphorical glance beyond the horizon line of the sea, promotes a union between tradition and innovation. Through an eclectic and surprising compositional style, a repertoire emerges that skillfully combines Italy and the "World", roots and human experiences, with the intention of delivering a musical legacy rich in identity and transformation. To use terms dear to Aquilanti, his music is written with "passion" and "expertise". Composition is a "necessity", the essence of a man, the challenge to make his ideas immortal. Therefore, this CD is a form of legacy, a testament to the existence of an artist, his love for life, and the bridge to the future.
