In "Tempo e Tempi", Pina Napolitano traces connections between Carter and Beethoven, composers whose music exhibits both power and playfulness, combining taut structures with the freedom of fantasia. "Tempo e Tempi" takes its name from a poem by Eugenio Montale, set by Carter, that encapsulates two central aspects of the album: the relationships between different superimposed musical times, and the relationship between historical times, which makes possible the musical ‘meeting’ between these two composers from different epochs. Napolitano plays Carter’s Night Fantasies and Two Thoughts about the Piano alongside Beethoven’s Sonatas Opp. 110 and 111, as well as Jeffrey Mumford’s two Elliott Carter tributes.
