PADRE DAVIDE DA BERGAMO: Organ Music [CD de audio] Marco Ruggeri and P.Davide da Bergamo

Father Davide de Bergamo was one of the most famous and prolific organists and organ composers who lived in Italy during the first half of the 19th century, an activity he carried out with his vocation as a monk. Father Davide's career dates back to the Romantic era, during which the organ began to detach itself from its purely liturgical function. In particular, in a framework that is not exempt from the bel canto influence, Father Davide structured his works in accordance with the dictates of the symphonic genre, as can be seen in his symphonies, powerful works conceived according to the classical style and forms and romantic The program includes, among other things, the world's first recording of the Six Sonatas and Symphonies. The organist Marco Ruggeri chose to use two organs built in the time of Father Davide, truly magnificent instruments that do justice to the rich palette of timbres and the unbridled virtuosity of the works of the Bergamasco composer. The booklet contains the cover notes, the biography of the performer and the technical sheets of the instruments used. Organ of the Parish Church of Villa di Serio and the Parish Church of Almenno San Salvatore, Bergamo.
