The works premiered on the album are \u201cElectric Prelude,\u201d by Sergio Sorrentino, \u201cGlitch,\u201d by Rick Romano, \u201cSpire VI,\u201d by Cesare Saldicco, and \u201cChase,\u201d by Ayal Adler.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to RMN Classical, I\u2019ve been able to create \u2018Electric,\u2019 an album built upon years of research on the contemporary repertoire for electric guitar. This album contains a huge piece of my musical world,\u201d Sorrentino says, \u201cstarting from my versions of masterpieces such as Steve Reich’s \u2018Electric Counterpoint,\u2019 and Leo Brouwer\u2019s \u2018Paisaje Cubano con Lluvia,\u2019 passing through King, Cage, Bouffard and Yuasa, up to exciting new works dedicated to me by Romano, Saldicco, and Adler.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorrentino started his international concert career very early and has held solo concerts and masterclasses in many prestigious festivals and venues around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe album is full of different styles; whose common thread is the richness of the guitar sound. Minimalism, new music, avant-garde music, electronics are all present. A piece of mine, inspired by ambient and drone music interlaced with field recordings, works as an introduction. It is an album that highlights and display many different sound experiences from the beautifully versatile electric repertoire,\u201d Sorrentino says.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Sorrentino has worked with composers and musicians such as John Russell, Machinefabriek, Steven Mackey, Andrzej Bauer, Marco Angius, Giorgio Battistelli, and numerous others.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorrentino is an internationally-recognised performer committed to promote\u00a0the contemporary repertoire for\u00a0guitar,\u201d RMN Classical music director, Romano, says. \u201cHis work, so broad and rich of many contemporary qualities, never fails to amaze, and we look forward to this much-awaited release.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sorrentino has recorded for an impressive number of record labels including RMN Classical, Mode Records, Rai Trade, Carish, and Curci.<\/p>\n
His previous album,\u00a0\u201cDream\u00a0– American Music for Electric Guitar\u201d (Mode Records), was reviewed and highlighted in the New York Times by Seth Colter Walls as one of the “Week’s Best Classical Music Moments.” RAI Radio Tre described Sorrentino as “\u2026One of the most important contemporary Italian guitarists.”<\/p>\n
