Giovanni Sollima's "Aquilarco" is a captivating journey through the world of minimalism, presented in a live setting that breathes new life into the original 1998 project. Recorded in New York, this album showcases Sollima's mastery of the cello and his innovative approach to classical music. The nine-piece suite "Aquilarco" is the centerpiece of the album, each movement offering a unique exploration of sound and rhythm, from the delicate "Prelude" to the dynamic "Rotating Dance." The album also includes three additional tracks, providing a well-rounded listening experience. With a duration of just over an hour, "Aquilarco" is a testament to Sollima's skill and creativity, making it a standout release in his discography. The album was released in 2014 under the Felmay label and is packaged in a digipak format.
