(Solo pianoforte, EILEEN JOYCE )
Fifty-four years old, director of the Milan Conservatoire and friend of D'Annunzio, Ildebrando Pizzetti is perhaps the most distinguished living Italian composer. In his own country he enjoys a peculiar prestige as composer, as critic, and as teacher ; both conservatives and modernists respect him.
And when you get to know his music you understand why. Pizzetti has been aptly described as ' an enlightened and liberal conservative '. His melodies are in the true Italian tradition, warm, spontaneous, and singable; his harmony bright and lucid, hardly more modern than Puccini's, but he never boggles at bold dissonances if he wants them. It would be difficult to find any important modern composition more limpid and easily approachable than his Piano Concerto ' Songs of the High Season ', which is in the orthodox three movements.
