Contemporarities: Pura Attualità
DESCRIPTION
Partially drawn from one of the live events of the Contemporarities Festival at Milan's Santeria Social Club, which served as an incubator for many releases by 19'40", "Pura Attualità" is a journey through the evolving sounds of contemporary music, blending the past and future of Western classical tradition.
This album features works by seven Italian composers like Carlo Carcano, Francesco Filidei, Silvia Borzelli, Teho Teardo, and Maria Teresa Treccozzi, and it captures profound moments of artistic and expressive introspection.
