Notes
MARCO SOLLINI PLAYS ROSSINI: COMPLETE PIANO EDITION, VOLUME 4
This fourth volume of Rossini’s piano music is devoted to Book 6 of the Péchés de vieillesse, which is entitled ‘Album pour les enfants dégourdis’ (Album for Bright Young People). It is a collection of twelve pieces describing such everyday activities as early morning exercise, meditation on what is past and gone, dancing, and even a railway journey – from the screech of breaks to the arrival at the station. The collection ends with ‘Un enterrement en Carnival’ which could be a burial or a carnival masker – we do not know. However, it is a brilliant conclusion and seems to say that life goes on and we can never know what tomorrow will bring. Volume 1 prompted International Record Review to describe Marco Sollini as ‘an affectionate interpreter who is receptive to Rossini’s gentle wit’, while Gramophone declared: ‘The relish and panache of his playing here are not to be gainsaid and the recordings are superb.’

Marco Sollini is always alive to the music’s effervescence and eccentricities, as well as its more sober sentiments, and the sound is as buoyant as one could hope for.
