ABOUT ME

I was very happy to lead the world premiere of Emiliano Imondi’s Three Variations on a Gregorian Theme, as the winner of the 2014 Respighi Prize (aff., Bologna). As a fellow Italian composer, I could not be more proud of Emiliano’s compositional work and his professionalism. His Three Variations served as a wonderful testament of our orchestra’s work honoring the music of Ottorino Respighi. It is often rare these days to work with such a kind, yet serious artist who continues to evolve as a result of experiences. He shows an innate sensibility for melody, and drama, and I expect he will be doing great things in the future.

Imondi, forever conscious of 19th Century traditions, with his musical language creates his own story, utilizing excitement and lyricism without ever yielding to overused harmonic and melodic conventions. The instrumental lessons of the string quartet come together in this work with a natural phonic exaltation, exploiting its great potential to the fullest.

In August 2012, it was with great pleasure that I agreed to premier the Sonata by Emiliano Imondi. I now have the honor of presenting it to the public in its published format. Cellists search for fresh new compositions to add to the repertoire for their instrument and Imondi’s lyrical vein is a perfectly suited to the cello’s unique expression. I am certain that the study and performance of this piece will give great pleasure to cellists everywhere.

Imondi is an exceptional composer who knows how to combine classicism with innovation. His scores exude the talent of a composer who understand how harmony can capture the spirit of musical imagery. In this young musician we recognize a precision and a poetry based on years of careful study. The inner world he creates in his works is never pedantic or showy but represents a complex and yet articulate expression.

MY MEANING OF MUSIC

I write music because i think it makes me a better man. I see in music a way to express myself and i think that, as an abstract art, is able to convey messages and emotions universally. I like to think that, listening to music, anyone can give it the meaning and the feeling that prefers, experiencing them for the duration of the composition. In fact Music is an art of the time and it is never be the same even if written. Music is not outside, is not something to listen to, but only comes to life within us. It lies in our inner time because is the ability to feel ourselves in harmony with our lives.

“Music is everything that one listens to with the intention of listening to music…”

Luciano Berio
