New Release: Renato Dionisi "Contrasti" - Chamber Music Masterpieces Available September 3rd

Classical music enthusiasts can mark their calendars for September 3rd, as a remarkable new recording featuring the chamber works of Italian composer Renato Dionisi (1910-2000) becomes available on CD.

The album "Contrasti" showcases the intricate compositional craftsmanship of Dionisi, performed by three distinguished musicians: Sergio Lavaccara, Davide Baldo, and Luca Schinai. This intimate chamber music collection perfectly captures the composer's philosophy of music as a true craft, reflecting his belief that every compositional gesture should be an artisanal act born from "relentless excavation, refinement, and the pursuit of perfection."

About the Recording

Dionisi, who considered himself a "worker in music," dedicated his career to creating what he called refined and essential "musical prose." This new recording exemplifies his preference for small ensembles, where his meticulous attention to detail finds its fullest expression through intimate and intense instrumental dialogues.

The album features notable works including:

• Sonatina (performed by Lavaccara and Schinai)
• Rabesco nr.2 (performed by Baldo and Schinai)

Demo tracks of both pieces are available for preview.

The Artist's Vision

In a musical landscape often dominated by large orchestras, Dionisi chose to champion the elegance and clarity of smaller groups. His compositions demonstrate how counterpoint, linearity, and timbral purity can create powerful artistic statements through more intimate musical formations.
