Carnaval 2 by Alessandro Bosetti
three:four records are thrilled to announce Carnaval 2, the ambitious new work by composer Alessandro Bosetti, performed by pianist Reinier van Houdt. Stemming from Bosetti and van Houdt's shared interest for Robert Schumann's Carnaval piece, Carnaval 2 is a complete reinterpretation (for piano and electro-acoustic interludes) of the original composition.
As incredible as it may seem, it took six years from an initial residency at GMEM studios in Marseille for this album to come to life. But the result was well worth the effort: Carnaval 2 is a fascinating work, brilliantly captured by the visual world of Hippolyte Hentgen and the graphic design by Lionel Catelan, based on a typeface by Charles Mazé.
