Towards the end of the 19th century, instrumental music re-emerged in Italy ending melodrama’s centuries-long stranglehold, thanks to a generation of composers who dragged Italian musical culture from the backwards state of isolation that it had gradually fallen into to complete integration in the European scene. This recording, dedicated to M° Giuseppe Garbarino, intends to provide a special perspective of this very rich instrumental flowering which, if not complete, is, at any rate, indicative of the various tendencies that have been transmitted to us.
