Spinosa / Bertolini- Orchestral & Chamber Works 1 (CD)
At least in their titles, almost all the pieces in this release evoke extra-musical semantic horizons. Thus we are prompted in listening to refer to the meanings evoked by the titles, however indefinite they may be. Rossella Spinosa is a musician accustomed to interpreting the composition linguistically, since she is a prolific composer of music for silent films. Her scores are not only merely accompaniments, but rather comments on the images by an artistic language autonomous and parallel to the visual, but for this very reason effective and synergetic. Her pieces recount, on a different level and through a language that is neither conceptual nor descriptive, what happens in silent films. Something similar takes place in her production created outside the relationship with images, like the pieces on this album.
