The six-concert series “Io suono italiano” is dedicated to music of Italian composers and performed by Italian musicians on Italian instruments. The concert programs cover four centuries of music: from Girolamo Frescobaldi and Antonio Vivaldi to more contemporary music by Ennio Morricone and Azio Corghi. Each program presents more familiar pieces alongside lesser-known compositions. These performances were filmed at the atmospheric Teatro Sociale in Rovigo, Italy, in January 2021. In this program, Andrea Oliva (flute) and Roberto Prosseda (piano) perform several works for flute and piano. The program opens with Gaetano Donizetti’s Sonata in C major, followed by Giulio Briccialdi’s virtuosic Carnevale di Venezia, Op. 78. Afterward, Oliva and Prosseda play Nino Rota’s 5 pezzi facili, followed by Francesco Morlacchi’s Il pastore svizzero. The program ends with Ennio Morricone’s Per le antiche scale.
