Johan Helmich Roman was the founder of Swedish music tradition at the beginning of the eighth
century. Like many other musicians of his time, he was also a violin and oboe player, and in his
compositions he mastered the new international idiom, acquired mostly during a London stay. Among
the trios that survived the Turku fire of 1827, this disc presents the six that best convey the variety and
intensity of Roman’s work. The original versions, for two violins, are arranged in different tunes for
two recorders and through bass, following a well-known practice customary until the first half of the
eighth century. This choice gives rise to a further interest about these compositions, and contributes
in spreading the knowledge of this author who figures very well in the European musical framework
usually associated with Handel and Italian authors like Albinoni and Geminiani.

A professor at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia from 1868, and founder of the music school of the same
name, Sgambati combined his teaching with his career as a pianist and composer. He was connected
to Liszt after being his student, and his famous residence in Piazza di Spagna was opened to visitors
including Debussy, Grieg, Liszt’s “Roman School,” and even Wagner, who recommended his Quintetti
to the publisher Schott. As with his two Sinfonie, his Concerto was composed between 1878 and 1880,
and was often performed by the composer himself. Born in 1981, Roberto Giordano received the
diploma at Ecole Normale de Musique Alfred Cortot in Paris with a unanimous vote by the jury. He is
a regular guest of some of the most important stages and festivals in the world.
