condition (record/cover): NM/EX A definitive document of contemporary flute repertoire by two legendary Italian interpreters! Severino Gazzelloni (1919-1992), the most celebrated flutist of the post-war avant-garde, collaborated with virtually every major composer of his generation, inspiring countless works and redefining the instrument's possibilities. Joined by pianist Bruno Canino, this recording presents an extraordinary program balancing Italian masters with Japanese composers: Niccolò Castiglioni's Gymel, Bruno Maderna's Honeyreves, Goffredo Petrassi's Dialogo Angelico, Roman Vlad's Il Magico Flauto Severino (Variazioni Mozartiane), Kazuo Fukushima's Kadha Karuna, Hidenao Hito's Apocalypse, Yori-Aki Matsudaira's Rhymes for Gazzelloni, and Yoritsune Matsudaira's Somaksah. The Japanese works reflect Gazzelloni's deep engagement with composers beyond Europe, fostering crucial East-West musical dialogue.
