Phillip Sear plays an evocative piece from 1912 by the neglected Italian composer Renato Brogi (1873-1924) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Florentine composer Renato Brogi (1873-1924) studied music in his native Florence, and later in Milan. His career received a boost when he won an international composition competition with an opera, and he had some success with his operas and operettas, and also with light songs. His life was cut short by cancer, and he seems to be remembered today solely through some old vocal recordings by Tita Ruffo and Giuseppe de Stefano. This piece is vaguely reminiscent of Schubert's 'Gretchen am Spinnrade', but is unmistakeably Italian, especially in the central section. The piece is dedicated to a Milanese contemporary, the composer and pianist Adalgisa de Montel.
