Album Description
CD 1 In Piano Concerto No. 1, Carlos Franzetti continues in the tradition of great 20th Century piano concerti, using brilliant polyphony, polytechnics and thematic development. It was commissioned in loving memory of Grace M. Corman by The Commission Project in Rochester New York, founded by Ned Corman and is brilliantly performed by pianist Allison Brewster Franzetti. Symphony No. 2 - The Year of the Malvinas was commissioned by Lorenz Russo. Carlos Franzetti completed it in January 2004 and continues in the tradition of great 20th Century symphonies, this time with a Shostakovich-like tour-de-force, using thematic transformation and repetition, textures, ostinati and dramatic visual images brought to life by this music. CD 2 Concierto del Plata was originally comissioned as a concerto for guitar and piano. This marks the first performance of the equally compelling transcription for piano and orchestra by Carlos Franzetti and Allison Brewster Franzetti. The tango-inspired first movement and milonga-inspired second movement serve as a tribute to Carlos Franzetti's Argentine roots; its Americana-inspired third movement to his adopted country, the United States. Reflexiones is Carlos Franzetti's tribute to the events of September 11, 2001. This deeply emotional and heart-wrenching performance of an extraordinary composition express all of the shock, travesty and loss of innocent lives that took place on that horrendous day. Suite from "Dans le rouge du couchant" is the original music written as the score of the 2003 Spanish-French film of that name and is new tango at its best.
