This collection of previously unreleased early-1980s recordings revisits Renaissance and Baroque idioms through an intimate, acoustic and chamber-oriented approach. From the graceful minuet of "Minuetto gentile", to the ceremonial "Ballo in maschera", these tracks evoke aristocratic environments, formal gatherings and quiet scenes of court life.
Alessandro Alessandroni (Rome, Italy 03/18/1925 – Swakopmund, Namibia 03/26/2017) was one of the most important Italian musicians of the 20th century.
A composer, arranger, singer and multi-instrumentalist whose impact on pop culture is immeasurable, from his unique guitar work and — perhaps most famously — his whistle for Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western soundtracks to the unforgettable vocal hook of Piero Umiliani's "Mah Nà Mah Nà".
In a career that spans seven decades, Alessandroni scored dozens of movies and recorded countless library music albums, currently acclaimed by the most important musical experts around the world.
