Abelardo Albisi: Chamber Music For Winds

Abelardo Ernesto Albisi was an eclectic Italian flutist and composer born near Piacenza. He is known also as the inventor of a type of bass flute, that could be played like a recorder and having the same fingering mechanic of the normal flute. His career as a performer took place at the Orchestra della Scala and, after an epical quarrel with Toscanini, he had to leave for the Orchestre of the Suisse Romande. He had a rather prolific activity as a composer, of which the works recorded here represent a fascinating sample: these pieces and transcriptions for winds are unpretentious, light, enjoyable, but also rich in imagination and creativity.
