Description:

In the 20th century, the "totalitarian" ideology espoused by Italy's Giovanni Amendola caused great fear among mankind. In the world of music, too, the influence of this ideology has not been lost, and in the worst cases, composers have lost their lives in opposition to the totalitarian regimes. Although the three composers whose works are included here did not experience such horrors, their profiles reveal that their families were affected in no small way by the one-party Soviet dictatorship and Nazism in Germany. The pianist Prisuelos, from Madrid, Spain, created the album from this perspective. He plays works that are influenced by the totalitarianism of the 20th century, but are steeped in their own aesthetics, presenting the listener with the splendor of the music. Naxos Japan
