Caldini: I Colori Del Cuore – Hidehiro Nakamura

Fulvio Caldini’s musical style is not easily pigeonholed and cannot be succinctly summarised in a few words. This is because, in his musical itinerary, he touched a number of differing musical styles. Doubtlessly, Caldini has an eclectic disposition, which has led him to explore a wide range of distinctive compositional experiences. The pieces included on this CD are primarily rooted in the minimalist and post-minimalist traditions: Caldini extensively explored and engaged with these styles. Compositions such as the three Novelettes showcased on this CD belong in a type of music which the composer has produced throughout his life, written with the sole intention of creating pleasurable auditory experiences for the listener. “Diario” and “Dooruzu” belong in a category of compositions whose primary focus is to develop the harmonic and melodic language springing from traditional harmony. In Caldini’s compositional journey, there are also other creative experiences, which include compositions that revisit the stylistic languages of jazz, rock, electronic and ethnic music.
