Dive into the captivating world of Lucia Ronchetti with her album "Action Music Pieces," a mesmerizing collection of contemporary classical compositions released on September 1, 2018, under the KAIROS label. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes, this album is a testament to Ronchetti's innovative approach to music, blending literary influences with avant-garde orchestration.
The album opens with "Le Palais Du Silence," a 2013 composition that weaves together ensemble performances with the unexpected sounds of helicopters and butterflies. Ronchetti's unique vision continues with "Helicopters and Butterflies," a solo piece for an operatic percussionist inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Gambler."
For cello enthusiasts, "Forward and Downward, Turning Neither to the Left nor to the Right" offers a profound solo experience, newly arranged by Michele Marco Rossi. This piece, along with "Lacus Timoris," a solo timpani drammaturgia, showcases Ronchetti's ability to create depth and narrative through minimal instrumentation.
The album also features "Rumori da Monumenti," a study of Johannesburg that incorporates recorded voice and chamber orchestra, with text by Ivan Vladislavic based on fragments from "Portrait with Keys." This piece, presented in a new version, adds a layer of cultural and historical context to the album.
Lucia Ronchetti's "Action Music Pieces" is a compelling exploration of sound, literature, and performance, making it a standout addition to any contemporary classical music collection.
