CAMPAGNOLI 41 CAPRICES, REVISED BY LUCA SANZO', RICORDI EDITION

The edition of the 41 Caprices by Bartolomeo Campagnoli for solo viola is based on two basic principles. The first concerns the right hand and in particular the correct division of the bow, so that the player uses the best point of the bow at all times, and improves his tone and phrasing in the process. The second concerns the left hand: the importance of holding the fingers down on the fingerboard as long as possible. This guarantees more reliable intonation and, above all, reduces all unnecessary movement (the principle cause of muscolar fatigue and uncertainty on the instrument). The exp read all..

DUOS VIOLIN AND VIOLA BY ALESSANDRO ROLLA, WITH MARCO ROGLIANO

...vi avverto, specie nei tempi lenti, o nel grappolo di variazioni che costituiscono il cuore del secondo duo contenuto nell'al­bum di cui sto parlando (benissimo ese­guito da Marco Rogliano al violino e da Luca Sanzo’ alla viola), una devozione per la trasparenza, per la ricerca d'una piccola fiamma di verità emotiva, da valorizzare. (Enzo Siciliano, R read all..

Schumann quartetto Michelangelo

…The italian players combine a terrific freshness and élan with a crucial feeling for rubato –delicate inflections of the basic pulse- in Schumann’s lyrical melodies. The slow movement of the Quartet is as gloriously sung as I have ever heard. (The Telegraph)

…This, surely, is how Schumann would have heard his scores. Yet I doubt if he ever enjoyed such polished playing, rhythmic élan and joyous music-making as here. The Michelangelo is the equal of the finest ensembles in these works and brings impressive depth to the music. (Classic Fm) read all..

MAHLER STRAUSS QUARTETTO MICHELANGELO

“ …Richard Strauss e Gustav Mahler, due autori che chiudono l’arco creativo del tardo romanticismo. E il Quartetto Michelangelo di tale chiusura si rende perfettamente consapevole attraverso un’interpretazione in cui l’incertezza, ovvero l’improbabilità del futuro, funge ossimoricamente da saldo elemento trainante. Francesca Vicari, Luca Sanzò, Luigi Piovano ed Elena Matteucci sono, in parole povere, bravissimi nel saper cogliere tutti quegli elementi psicologici e poetici emergenti nelle partiture o nascosti nelle di loro pieghe” PIA read all..

Review By Giv Cornfield,The New Recordings, Cliffs Classics,September 2009

I recall being introduced to Thuille’s very Brahmsian-sounding Sextet for piano and winds by Vernon Duke, founder of the Society for Forgotten Music (SFM). The LP recording we made at the time (1972) was a ‘first’, and created quite a stir among critics. This new recording is excellent in every re read all..
