Claudio Ferrarini presents a captivating solo album, "Jolivet, Karg-Elert, Satie: Solo," set to release on April 22, 2025, under the Arte Sonora label. This chamber music collection showcases Ferrarini's exceptional skill and versatility as a flutist, featuring a diverse repertoire that spans classical and contemporary compositions.
The album opens with André Jolivet's "Ascèses pour flûte seule," a five-movement suite that explores the depths of the flute's expressive range. Each movement is a poetic journey, delving into themes of secrecy, absence, and creation. Following this, Ferrarini presents an arrangement of Ernest Karg-Elert's "Partita No. I in D Major, Op. 89," a Baroque-inspired work that highlights the flute's agility and grace. The partita's movements, from the grave and allegretto to the lively alla giga, demonstrate Ferrarini's technical prowess and musical sensitivity.
The album also includes arrangements of Erik Satie's "Trois Melodies sans paroles," originally composed for piano. These melodies, "Les Oiseaux," "Rambouillet," and "Marienbad," are charming and evocative, showcasing Satie's unique compositional style. The album concludes with a playful piece from Satie's "21 Sports et divertissements," "Choral inappétissant," adding a touch of whimsy to the collection.
With a total duration of 44 minutes, this album offers a rich and engaging listening experience. Ferrarini's impeccable technique and deep musicality shine through in each piece, making this a standout release in the world of solo flute performances. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, "Jolivet, Karg-Elert, Satie: Solo" promises to be a memorable and enjoyable listen.
