On BUSONI & CASELLA: WORKS FOR PIANO, Sara Davis Buechner pairs Ferruccio Busoni’s Seven Elegies (1907) and Alfredo Casella’s Sei Studi (1944). Busoni’s Elegies are extremely personal, and at times clearly autobiographical, positing that all notes can belong to one chromatic tonality through harmonic development. Casella’s Etudes offer a summing-up of his compositional philosophy, with each etude marrying tradition and novelty. This adventurous new recording presents two 20th-century composers’ unique visions of a musical future. Throughout, Buechner approaches these works not as austere technical experiments, but as creations of vision, depth, complexity, and heartfelt expression.
