The following project consists of the two piano suites dedicated to the marine theme - “The marine” suite (1994) by Greek composer Dimitris Kapsomenos (1937 - 1994) and “The Sunda Seascapes” (1990) by Indonesian composer Triisytji
Kamal (b. in 20th century). For
the both composers their marine suites are the main piano compositions and one of the most significant creations
of their talents (for Madame Trisutji of course - till now. Wishing
her new masterpieces I will always remain the big admirer of
the “Sunda Seascapes”).
|
Both of the composers
improved their education in Italy almost at the same time. Trisutji
Kamal had graduated
from the Rome Conservatory Santa Cecilia in 1975 then specialized
in the different musical subjects in the same conservatory. Dimitris
Kapsomenos lived in Italy in 1971-1975, in the years of the Junta
Regime in Greece. He has graduated from Florentine Conservatory Luigi
Cherubini in 1975. Composers had never met and probably even did not
know about each other. That’s
why the similarity of the suites seems to be pretty astonishing. Belonging
to the different races
and religions, born on the different parts of the Earth both
composers are saying by music the same things – how to love this life
and this Planet we are living on. And the image of the Sea turns in
the suites to symbolize the endless Human Life - spreading in time
and hugging the Earth. |
