Since I was very little, my parents have always exposed me to classical music: at home, my father used to listen to Symphonies and Concertos every evening on a good (and very loud!) Hi-Fi Stereo, and from time to time we used to go to the Opera House in Rome to watch ballets. From the age of three I started receiving propedeutic music lessons, and at three and a half I had my first violin lesson.
My mother told me that one day she asked me which instrument I would have liked to play, and I just answered: "The violin"! I must have listened to very good violinists at that time, to be so convinced for such a choice...
Who would you say are the leading influences in your musical career?
Georg Moench, my second violin teacher, who taught me the majority of pieces from the main repertoire, represents the beginning of my passion for music, and I really enjoy going back with my mind to that moment of life. After, I had teachers who inspired me under many differen aspects, such as Antonio De Secondi, Lorenzo Fabiani, Salvatore Accardo, David Takeno and Jacqueline Ross. Last but not least, my partner, Alessandro, with whom I share and create the majority of my projects and concerts, and who especially developed in me the passion for Contemporary music.
Ardorè Duo was born five years ago, as an ensemble committed to Modern and Contemporary Classical music. Today, we have more than ten pieces dedicated and written for us, and we commission at least one piece every year.
In the past two years, I started to specialize in the Baroque repertoire - now being enrolled at the Master with Prof. Mechthild Karkow at the Musikhochschule of Frankfurt am Main - and in the last months, thanks to Prof. Jacqueline Ross, me and Alessandro developed, as a duo, a filological approach also to Classical and Romantic music. Since then, our repertoire has expanded with no exceptions. This is why I can say that the Duo's purpose is always that to achieve a musical and natural performance style, simultaneously free from dogma - through research on sources such as letters, old recordings, treatises, testimoniances - yet also rigorous, and with a passionate commitment.
In 2017 we recorded a monographic CD of David Collins' Violin sonatas for Sheva Contemporary (http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Name/Ardor%C3%A8-Duo/Ensemble/489438-4) receiving excellent reviews on many magazines, among which Gramophone (March 2018), a CD for Cremona Records with sonatas by Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven, and, in February, we will record a monographic CD with the music composed by Marco Quagliarini, for Stradivarius.The name? We chose it on one eveing, while walking on the beach in my hometown... you can read it as A(Alessandro) R(Reecca) DO (the note C in Italian) and RE' (the note D in Italian), but also - more simply! - as the word "ardore", which in Italian means "somthing which burns of passion, enthusiasm, impetus".
Is there any concert that you feel was a breakthrough for you in more recent times?
For me it certainly was the one when I performed Brahms violin concerto, in 2014, and my final recital in Lonodon in 2017. In both circumstances I had a very strong energy, whcih I always try to recreate in every concert. Every concert I do has its own positive aspects, which will always change, depending on the period of life, people I play with, the venue where I perform, etc... Therefore, if I think about past recent concerts, I will find that each one of them helped me to make a step forward.
To perform for the Ananta Makhal Tribute Concert, and alongise his former students, was a great honor for me. Already before coming to India I heard so many good things and stories about Ananta as a teacher, and when I met people who knew him, I could really feel a strong respect and love towards him. Moreover, the project that Michael Makhal and Alessandro Viale led this year, and in which me, Urska, and many Indian musicians took part, has been, in a way, a continuation of what Ananta did for almost his entire life. We gave masterclasses in three different places (Hyderabad, Bangalore Greenwood International and Vio Voi music school), we involved the students in the final concert of the Autumn International Music Fest in Hyderabad, we shared our knowledge and insights about western Classical music with the musicians from Calcutta's Oxford Mission Orphanage. And being Ananta a violin player... I felt particularly attached to the stories of those musicians who I performed with in Calcutta, and a particular responsibility as well.
At the moment I am living in Frankfurt, where I just started a Master in Baroque performance. I really wanted to specialise in this repertoire, from which European classical-musical tradition starts, and I am happy to have had the chance to take this path.
Alongside this, I am devoting myself to the performance of the Contemporary Classical repertoire, commissioning and performing premieres of new pieces, both in duo with Alessandro, in trio with Urska, and for solo violin. Moreover, this year I also have a couple of "virtuosistic" projects, in which I will perform the six "sonate a quattro" by Rossini, Bottesini "Gran Duo" for violin and double bass, and some Paganini. I have got two recordig projects for the upcoming year, one with the music for violin solo and violin and piano by Maro Quagliarini, for Stradivarius, and the second for Brilliant, with the chamber and solo music by Riccardo Malipiero. I am really excited to follow a road that I am building from my own choices. The most important thing I learnd from the modest amount of experience I have, is that it does not exist only one way of doing things and pursuing aims - although the world seems to want us accept the opposite as right, but there are many that can and will succeed, provided that you really believe in them.
