Auden – 2004      
improvisation      
       

In 1939 W.A. Auden composed several poems about man’s inner life, sorrows and living estranged from nature. In this recording, every musician expresses their own feelings – so deeply musical in themselves – by playing athematic atonal improvisations. Nothing aleatory in that, mind you, but perfectly definite languages and interplay. The septet is composed by leader Sebastiano Meloni on piano, Valeria Martini on vocals, Gianluca Corona on guitar, Nicola Cossu and Sebastiano on electric basses and doublebasses, Leonardo Casula and Alessandro Garau on drums.
