“The Sonata's occasional grand rhetorical gestures ideally need more room to breathe, but in the shared radiant intimacy of the Six Pieces, the Five Pieces of 1906 and the miniature Giga and Allegretto vivace, Bernecoli and Bianchi sound altogether more at home.” --BBC Music Magazine, April 2014 ****
“both performers demonstrate individual flare along with joint integrity and unforced collaborative intuitiveness...Bernecoli performs the long, sweeping lines [of the Sonata] with integrity while voicing the youthfulness of this piece...This CD offers Respighi admirers a rare opportunity to hear the very early thoughts and ideas which would shape his late style.” --MusicWeb International, 21st March 2014

Emy Bernecoli (violin) & Massimo Giuseppe Bianchi (piano)
Composed between 1897 and 1905, this collection of Respighi’s earliest music for violin and piano, some from his student days, is notable for its openness to influences as diverse as German Romanticism, Russian Nationalism and the French school, as if he were trying out different styles in the search for his own personal idiom. No less evident are Respighi’s technical mastery of instrumentation and form as well as his delight in vocally inflected melodic lines. This is the first of two volumes of Respighi’s complete works for violin and piano. Emy Bernecoli and Massimo Giuseppe Bianchi have been acclaimed for their “impassioned, technically polished and rhythmically rock-solid interpretations”. (Gramophone on 8572828 / Ghedini)
