Mirando for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello by Olivia Belli

Programme Notes

Mirando is inspired by the Orto sul Colle dell’Infinito di Giacomo Leopardi in Recanati, where the great Italian poet conceived his masterpiece, “L’Infinito”, so dear to me. I retraced the poem verses step by step, I savoured the sounds, the smells, the colours of this enchanted place and “…sedendo e mirando, interminati spazi di là da quella, e sovrumani silenzi, e profondissima quiete… e il naufragar m’è dolce in questo mare”. - Olivia Belli
