Opere per orchestra SACD release on Aion Techni

On the 15th of July 2011 Aion Techni will proudly unveil its inaugural release. Aion Techni is a new independent classical record label with an emphasis on new music and underexposed repertoire. The label will also focus on promoting new and upcoming performers. For its first release the focus will be on a collection of orchestral works by composer Giacomo Cataldo featuring the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Petr Pololáník and with the participation of violin soloist Leoš Zavadilík.

Cataldo's music is immediate and uncontrived, intensely lyrical, taking off with fiery vivacity - spontaneously explosive. Sometimes giving way to a mood of elation.

These recordings of Cataldo's music preserve the excitement of their world premiere performance which took place at the Dům umění (House of Arts) in Zlín ...
