This compact disc represents an ideal crowed achievement of decades of discographies executed by Massimo Nosetti, famous organist due to his international career, to which we want to pay a touching tribute in memory of the first anniversary of his premature death which occurred on the 12th of November, 2013. A competent and refined performer, via the 27 volumes recorded with the label Syrius, Nosetti has offered us a comprehensive view regarding the Grand Organ’s literature, with a focus on the repertoire from florid concerts between XIX and XX centuries, which he loved so much.
To honour him as a musician in this recording the organist Omar Caputi, Massimo Nosetti’s ex-student, has chosen to propose the listening of several significant organ compositions of the same master, with which he shared a long humane and artistic journey. Organist for the Santa Rita’s Sanctuary Turin for over three decades, where he ideated and directed the prestigious international organ festival which has reached the 31st edition, Nosetti was not only active in the role of affirmed concert artist and appraised professor but also as a valid talented composer; his productions for organ solo are substantial (published from the Carrara and Animus editions), to which are associated other interesting choral pages either a cappella or choir and organ, as well as orchestral music for two recent expositions of the Shroud.
