Valerio Fasoli – Reviews

“With three different flutes and amazing techniques Valerio Fasoli produced hot and ethereally beautiful tones and sounds.” - Stuttgarter Nachrichten “Valerio Fasoli’s flute timbre being remarkably soft and sensuous complimented the sound layers.” - Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung “Precise and experienced, convinced with a clear tone and balanced dynamic…. The analysis of different styles was audibly effective; the increasing intensity, which reached from “stile galante” to impressionism and experimentalism, was convincingly traced…. Here, the strength of the musician was clearly demonstrated: the perceptible fascination for the New Music was linked saliently with the tradition....” - Reutlinger General Anzeiger “Particularly amazing Valerio Fasoli on the flute” - Neue Musik Zeitung “With Valerio Fasoli conducting the EnsembleSolisten, the audience experienced a concert of extraordinary quality.” - Schwäbische Zeitung

Valerio Fasoli – Reviews

What a very interesting, varied walk through the centuries, we may experience with the present debut CD! The flutist Valerio Fasoli, Lecturer at the Arts Academy in Italian Narni, and Katharina Fasoli-von Harten, as a violinist soloist and member of several ensembles, have established a duo four years ago and now discover treasures for their formation. For all the works selected here, confirm a balanced and harmonious way of playing and interpretation. Nothing is unnecessarily rushed here, everything can breath, yet everything is fresh and accentuated. It is possible to feel plastically here the joie de vivre and experimentation of the Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, so airy and dancing act flute and violin in a balanced sound variety (despite wooden flute, which indeed can quickly get a something ponderous sounds as the metal). The sound spectrum is so rich that sometimes one thinks to recognize a piccolo and a viola. The courage to „open strings“ of the violin combined with the flute vibrato creates beautiful, yet intense clarity (E-Minor Sonata). In the third Sonata delight sparkling ornaments and soft harmony. The romantic Duo Concertant of Bernhard Molique requests in double stops and polyphony, in extreme tempos and location changes, in its change of timbre and expression, in its parallel runs a reminiscent of Paganini utmost virtuosity - (succeful!!!). Both soloists prove a very smart performance competence and a high technical level, that excuse one or two not quite clean acchord. (Even David Oistrakh said that octaves should never be too pure, because otherwise you could not hear them.) Rousing, dense and rhythmically perfect, Fasoli and Fasoli-von Harten maintains always the balance between urgent throwing bows and braking fundamental tones, in the Divertissement composed in 1962 by Harald Genzmer. Of particular interest is expected on this CD the world premiere recording of the Variations Op. 107 of Jenő Takács, the Austro-Hungarian composer, who died ten years ago. With the perky (magic-) Flute of the theme by Giovanni Paisiello - a contemporary of Haydn - conjures Fasoli the listener a smile on the face, the tense echo effects (in the furious finalfugato) can hold your breath. Infinitely delicate and filigree, wonderful agogically designed is the Schubert-dedicated Andantino - perhaps the most beautiful, most intimately felt, most heartwarming piece of this recording. The somewhat reverberant sound of Wendlinger Eusebius Church, in which the works were recorded in 2014, will not hurt the transparency of both instruments. -Carola Kessler, Das Orchester (2/2016)

Toward the Sea Valerio Fasoli Fernando Maglia The sea divides, the sea connects. Freedom, research, desire to go beyond.

French Moods Valerio Fasoli Patrick O' Byrne

Open to the world, free and wise, the music of the French composers of the last century, due to the contact with a lively cultural society, offers always a strong connection between virtuosity and exotic moods. Poetry, flair, refined technique. It doesn't matter how we observe this music: we are always captured by these elements.
