More Info

Ho conosciuto Cristian Carrara, persona di grande semplicità e gentilezza, e solo in un secondo momento ho ascoltato la sua musica.
Quando improvvisa al pianoforte, il sorridente ragazzo che si era conosciuto prima, si trasforma rivelando un’inaspettata profondità tinta da una poetica malinconia.
Incuriosita, ho ascoltato “Piano Diary”, un diario scritto con le note anziché con le parole, e ho pensato di poter ricondurre vagamente la musica di Cristian al neo-romanticismo, seppur in vari dettagli rivelasse uno studio e una consapevolezza compositiva che pochi compositori di questo movimento hanno.
Ho continuato con “LiberMundi”, opera che si iscrive, pur nella sua originalità, nella lunga tradizione melodica italiana, e “Destinazione del Sangue”, che prosegue la scuola italiana in materia di colonne sonore.
Mi sono imbattuta infine in brani scritti per un contesto assolutamente pop (da presentare in luoghi come il Festival di Sanremo) come “Canzone fra le guerre”, inclusa anche in questa registrazione con un nuovo arrangiamento. Generi diversi in cui Cristian si cimenta senza imbarazzo e con grande duttilità o forse smussando i confini creati da chi ancora oggi vuole costruire muri anziché gettare ponti nel mondo musicale.
Anche in questo ritratto, che include sue opere arrangiate per l’occasione o brani scritti appositamente per arpa o violoncello e arpa, i generi si mischiano e confondono, le guerre e le lotte si ingentiliscono in visioni romane o in ipnotici carillon che ci sfiorano delicatamente, ma non senza lasciare traccia…

:::::

I met Cristian Carrara, a person of great simplicity and kindness, and later I had the pleasure to listen to his music. When he improvises on the piano, the smiling boy I met before, reveals an unexpected depth colored with poetry and melancholy. Intrigued, I listened to “Piano Diary”, a diary written with notes rather than with words, and I thought I could bring back the music of Cristian vaguely to neo-romanticism, albeit in various details his music reveals a study and an awareness that few composers of this movement have. I continued listening to “LiberMundi”, a work that continues, despite its originality, the long tradition of Italian melodic tradition, and “Destination of the Blood,” which fits perfectly in the Italian school for soundtracks. I finally came across his music written for an absolutely pop context (to be presented at Sanremo Festival) as “Song between the wars”, also included in this recording with a new arrangement.
Different genres in which Cristian engages without embarrassment and with great flexibility or perhaps smoothing the boundaries created by those who still want to build walls instead of bridges in the musical world.
In this portrait, which includes his works arranged for the recording, or songs written specifically for Harp or Cello and Harp, the genres mix together and wars and struggles melt in Roman views or hypnotic music boxes that touch us gently, but not without leaving a trace…
