Info for Pilati: Chamber Music for Violin, Cello and Piano

Italienische Kammermusik zwischen Spätromantik und Neoklassizismus. Heute weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten, war Mario Pilati einst ein Hoffnungsträger der italienischen Musik. Sein Werk stand in der Tradition der Spätromantik Mahlers und Strauss’, ließ aber auch den Einfluss seines neoklassizistischen Zeitgenossen Respighi erkennen. Francesco Manara, Luca Signorini und Dario Candela haben Pilatis vollständiges Kammerwerk für Violine, Cello und Klavier aufgenommen. Neben einer Reihe von volksmusikhaften Bagatellen stehen die düstere Violinsonate in f-Moll und die Cellosonate in a-Moll im Mittelpunkt dieser überfälligen Hommage an ein vergessenes Talent.

Joachim" Hannover award, the "Stradivari" of Cremona, the "Spohr" of Freiburg, the "Doug-A" of Seul, the "ARD" of Munich and "Tchaikowski" (special award) of Moscow, as well as the "Paganini" (special award) of Genoa and "CIEM" (first prize) of Geneva.

Such important awards soon led him to undertake a brilliant career as a soloist, in the course of which he has performed with more than fifty orchestra.

Furthermore, as a member of chamber music ensembles, he has played in some of the most prestigious theatres in the world.

He teaches at the "Accademia di Perfezionamento" for the Scala's orchestra professors.
