About

Like his near contemporary Franco Donatoni, Aldo Clementi (b.1925) is an Italian composer who has had a very fruitful association with that most Italian of instruments, the guitar. Both Clementi and Donatoni shared similar paths in their compositional development: the early influences of major early 20th-century composers through the adoption and later rejection of serialism and the Darmstadt courses they both attended, culminating in their very individual mature styles.
 
Clementi's recent pieces are influenced by visual artists, particularly the lithographs of M. C. Escher and the paintings of the contemporary Italians Dorazio and Vasarely. This is the first complete CD devoted to Clementi's compositions involving the guitar.
 
"Not much of his music has been recorded, which makes a whole cd devoted to him (Mode 182) especially interesting even without the participation of ELISION, whose presence is a recommendation all itself. Where these players are normally white hot, here they have to be wan cold, and they do it very well. The repertory centres on the guitar, whose tones - fragile, gentle, evanescent - suit the nature of Clementi's music, and the guitarist - Geoffrey Morris - is one who understands that, with this composer, soft stumbles are the way to go, and yet that they have to be finely measured and executed." Paul Griffiths: Words & Music
