Vesperi by Marco Baldini

Seven chamber works for low strings & marimba by the young Florence-based composer Marco Baldini - plus a bonus track, 'Bicinium', which is not on the CD, but which you can download on a 'pay-what-you-want' basis. Three of the pieces are derived from works by 16th century Italian composers: 'Corteccia' - Francesco Corteccia, 'Volta' - Luca Marenzio, 'Animuccia' - Giovanni Animuccia. The other pieces are original compositions by Marco Baldini, but their powerful, foreboding soundworld is clearly influenced by early music.

NB CD copies have sold out. The last batch which Marco sent as part of the Gaza Medical Appeal sold out in a few hours - so very sorry if you're too late, but the download is still available
