Giovanni Sollima, the renowned Italian cellist and composer, presents his latest minimalist masterpiece, "Cento domeniche," set to release on November 24, 2023, under the labels Edizioni Curci S.r.l. and Palomar S.p.a. This concise yet powerful album spans just 23 minutes, offering a collection of ten tracks that showcase Sollima's distinctive blend of contemporary classical and minimalist styles.
The album opens with "Tema Antonio," setting the tone for a journey through introspective and evocative compositions. Each track, from the haunting "Insomnia 2" to the serene "Requiem A," demonstrates Sollima's mastery of his instrument and his ability to create deeply moving music with minimalistic elegance. The inclusion of solo performances, such as "Strada lunga con cello solo" and "Requiem B piano solo," highlights his virtuosity and versatility.
"Cento domeniche" is a testament to Sollima's artistic evolution, blending traditional and modern elements to create a sound that is both timeless and innovative. The album's minimalist approach allows each note to resonate deeply, offering a profound listening experience that lingers long after the final note of "Tema Antonio - finale" fades away.
