Born in Rome in 1841, Giovanni Sgambati cut an impressive but relatively familiar figure as a prodigious young virtuoso until, as a 21-year-old keyboard lion in the making, he was introduced to Franz Liszt. The encounter changed Sgambati's life. Liszt, perhaps the single most influential figure in European musical life in the middle of the 19th century, took the young Sgambati under his wing, and his faith was richly repaid. Still in his 20s, Sgambati conducted the Italian premiere of the Dante Symphony and even the premiere of the first (lengthy) part of the Christus oratorio. There is an irony that the single piece through which his name has travelled worldwide is a piano Melodie, a sensuously achieved transcription of the Dance of the Blessed Spirits from Gluck's opera Orfeo ed Euridice. Guaranteed to hush a rapturous audience into silence, it became the much-loved encore piece for the late Nelson Freire, among others. Too little of Sgambati's music for his own instrument is known beyond the Melodie. This neglect is being redressed in style by the Italian pianist Gaia Federica Caporiccio, born in Florence in 1988. The first volume of a projected complete series of Sgambati's piano works proceeds in mostly chronological fashion. Thus the curtain is drawn back with a flourish in the Gothic, Bachian arpeggios of the Prelude and Fugue Op.6.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrélude Et Fugue Op. 6-Prélude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrélude Et Fugue Op. 6-Fugue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeux Études de Concert Op. 10-Tranquillo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeux Études de Concert Op. 10-Agitato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÉtude Triomphale in a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Pièces Lyriques Op. 23-Rapelle-Toi!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Pièces Lyriques Op. 23 la Fontaine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Pièces Lyriques Op. 23-Vox Populi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Pièces Lyriques Op. 23-Do-Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Pièces Lyriques Op. 23-Ländler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Pièces Lyriques Op. 23-Gigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSérénade Valsée\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturnes Op. 20-No. 1 in B minor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturnes Op. 20-No. 2 in G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturnes Op. 20-No. 3 in C minor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturne in B \"Per L'album Di Bellini\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturne Op. 31 in D-Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturne Op. 33 in E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNocturne in G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptus-Allegretto in E Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptus-Allegro Moderato in B-Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptus-Allegretto Grazioso in E-Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptus-Animato Allegramente in E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptus-Andantino in a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpromptus-Allegro Appassionato Ma Non Troppo Mosso in F-Sharp minor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGavotte Op. 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5029365102162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piano Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.22.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52273951572268,"sku":"5029365102162","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/2257\/7708\/files\/4075287-2828424.jpg?v=1762400256","url":"https:\/\/joseyrecords.com\/products\/sgambati-caporiccio-complete-piano-music-1-2pk-cd","provider":"Josey Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
