Alessandro Solbiati writes of his new release, "Novus": "Surveying the list of what I have composed in the field of chamber music to this, one will note the coexistence of often contrasting apititudes, preferences, 'affections': that for particularly 'classic' ensemble on the hand (string quartet or trio, piano trio etc.) and the insistent, repeated use of instruments very different from one other (the cimbalom, 52 Thai gongs, the viola d'amore, even the reconstruction of a barbiton, an Ancient Greek instrument, or Pinuccio Sciola's pietre sonore); or, from the formal point of view, the series of very short one-part pieces (the Interludi for the piano, for example), which favor the force of invention, and on the other much more formal and complex structures, which are based on confidence in the possibility of continuous and 'narrative' development of images, and of musical material.".
