CONCERT III (1) - La pista - FERNANDO MENCHERINI - saxophone: Gianpaolo Antongirolami

Fernando Mencherini La pista (1991) - 8' For soprano saxophone [Stereo] In the nineties, Mencherini's musical production, while remaining highly recognizable, entered a sort of second phase, characterized by the search for new expressive possibilities, aimed at freeing sound from excessive complexity in favor of an original lyricism. La pista offers a significant example of this passage. Biography Fernando Mencherini (1949 in Fermignano – 1997 in Cagli) He attended the Conservatory “G. Rossini” in Pesaro, studying electronic music with Walter Branchi. His career as a composer began in 1977 and he soon gained much respect in avant-garde circles. His works have been performed at major contemporary music festivals throughout Europe and in America, by leading musicians including the Arditti Quartet, Fausto Bongelli, Lucia Bova, Francesco Dillon, Claudio Jacomucci, Massimo Mazzoni, Annamaria Morini, Enzo Porta, Ciro Scarponi, Stefano Scodanibbio and the poet Edoardo Sanguineti. He was an eclectic musician, refusing to be bound by a single harmonic language, with an amazing ability to renew himself. His scores are worked very finely, but always driven by human impulses expressed with a vital energy and frenetic tension that transmit immediately to the listener. Gianpaolo Antongirolami (Saxophone) saxophonist with a classical background (Diploma in Saxophone with top honors in 1987, specialization courses with well known international saxophonists; Diploma in Electronic Music, Master’s Degree in Chamber Music), performs an intense musical activity proposing a repertoire ranging from the original compositions of the early twentieth century to modern and contemporary music, up to improvisation experiences.
