Although the Italian composer, Michelangelo Rossi, was hailed in his lifetime as a violin virtuoso, a distinguished madrigalist and composer of two operas, his reputation is founded on his astonishingly original and technically advanced keyboard music. Rossi’s Toccatas and Correnti combine Frescobaldi’s mastery of counterpoint with the chromaticism and sudden modulations of Gesualdo and Sigismondo d’India, resulting in a very personal idiom. This is most clearly heard in Toccata Settima, the best known of Rossi’s keyboard works, which has tremendous energy and drama, and concludes with an extraordinary passage of rising and falling chromatic scales.

Gli uccelli lo fanno, le api lo fanno. Persino le pulci lo fanno. Animali o esseri umani, abbiamo sempre usato contare per riuscire a farci strada nella giungla della vita. I babilonesi usavano il corpo per contare fino a 60. Nel VII secolo i matematici indiani scoprirono il numero 0. E ci siamo sempre domandati: esiste un ultimo numero? Ha mai fine l'infinito? Che cosa mai intendeva Buzz Lightyear con «verso l'infinito e oltre»? Uno dei più rispettati matematici del mondo, Marcus du Sautoy, rivela questo mistero. Usando soltanto il numero finito dei vostri neuroni e il numero finito di pagine di questo libro, resterete sbalorditi nel scoprire il segreto di come contare fino a infinito.

This new live recording pairs profound works by two of the 20th century s greatest composers: Arnold Schoenberg and Dmitri Shostakovich. Writer Phillip Huscher describes Schoenberg s 'Kol Nidre' as a 'stark, strong modernist statement,' set to the prayer said on the eve of Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement. Schoenberg, who had fled Europe in 1934, premiered the work in Los Angeles in 1938, one month before the devastating anti-Jewish pogroms of Kristallnacht took place throughout Nazi-Germany.
