Al telaio del tempo Musique italienne pour clarinette du 20e siècle Matteucci

A solo album for clarinet inevitably becomes a test on the clarinet, on its expressive power andon the musician’s mastery in playing it. Especially if the musician plays a contemporary repertoirethat is made up of works that follow two different visions. One pays an obsessive attentionto the peculiar features of the instrument, the other is apparently more indifferent to the technicallimits of execution of the musical score. With his album Gian Maria Matteucci aims tounify the two visions trying to perform the score pointing out the clarinet related features.Adopting this approach of playing highlighting the role of the clarinet, in der Partitur, is for thelistener an unusual and moving journey up to the spiral staircase of what the essence of theclarinet is. Let’s analyse in detail all the different stages of the experience we go through listeningto Matteucci’s album “Al telaio del tempo”, where the game of implicit and explicit time,of qualitative and quantitative time, of subjective and objective time produces a large amountof moments that make it everlasting.
