Description: Zanella followed neither the path of late Romanticism nor the neo-classicism of Casella and the "generation of the '80s"; the violin sonata (1917) is a fascinating mixture of Satie, Debussy and Scriabin while the cello piece of the same year adds some surprising dissonances. Rhythmic freedom is Zanella's main preoccupation in these works which will fill a gap in Italian music of the period in question. Marco Rogliano (violin), Frieder Berthold (cello), Marco Alpi (piano).
