QUARTETTO

Quartetto came into being when Roberto Ventimiglia was working on some solo flute pieces with the flautist Andy Findon. Inspired by the colours and expressive possibilities of the flute Ventimiglia decided to breathe new life into some favourite sketches written over several years, and weave them into a new quartet, full of contrast, perfectly suited to the flute. The result is a fresh and exciting new addition to the repertoire featuring finely crafted melodies, enticing harmonies and playful counterpoint.

The four-part dialogue between the instruments helps to build the architecture of the Ripresa form, and makes for plenty of contrast, both in in texture and mood.
Alla Barocca has the feel of a slow baroque dance, requiring a careful grace and attention to the details of ornamentation and variation. Each instrument has its own time and space t
