Title - Sparks
Artist - Ludovica Burtone
For those unaware, Ludovica Burtone is an Italian violinist with an incomparable wealth of musical experiences and a sound that transcends categorization. Her vast compositional oeuvre extends from classical quartets to Brazilian music and contemporary jazz.
Burtone has performed in some of Europe’s top orchestras and alongside icons such as Jon Batiste and Dream Theater and in the world scene with musicians such as Arijit Singh and Camila Meza.
Now, she is fusing her passion for the string quartet with her unique compositional voice on her debut album Sparks (out now via Outside in Music).
Sparks is an autobiographical story of Burtone’s journey to the United States from Italy, documenting a prolific passage from playing classical music to jazz, world music and beyond.
Sparks was born long before Burtone set pen to paper to begin composing. She grew up in a small city (or, large town, as she jokes) in northeast Italy, but had dreams of exploring her passion for music elsewhere.
Armed with her violin and an appetite for discovery, Burtone began with what she knew: the orchestra. From playing in her regional symphony and then earning a postgraduate.
1. Blazing Sun
2. Sinha
3. Altrove
4. Awakening
5. Stelutis
6. Incontri
This exceptional-sculptured, wholly heartfelt and abundantly impassioned new recording opens on the flirtatiously-crafted Blazing Sun and the atmospherically-charged, and free-flowingly ambient Sinha and then brings us the delicately-orchestrated, veritably shimmering Altrove, the piano-led, euphonious mastery of Awakening, the melodically aching yearn within Stelutis, coming to a close on the quite spectacular, all-encompassing Incontri.
