Home / Artists / Andrea Centazzo Mitteleuropa Orchestra / The Complete Recording vol.6

Mitteleuropa Orchestra was a project commissioned in 1979 by the City Cultural Affairs department in Bologna. The formation was flexible and variable, depending on the performance requirements, but it always retained its essential characteristics thanks to a fixed nucleus of musicians. The orchestra's physiognomy distanced it from the "classical" jazz big bands and aligned it more with contemporary chamber music formations. Using my experience of music making in small combinations, with strong tone-color characteristics, I achieved a fusion of diverse cultures (western classical, oriental and Afro-American) in a rigorously controlled musical structure, integrating written orchestral passages with aleatoric sections, creating ample space in which soloists could improvise in "controlled" situations. Within the orchestra the various personalities of the artists, interacted to create a particular stylistic mix which became the hallmark oft this ensemble.
This is a volume six of newly revised collection of 6 CD's contains almost all the materials recorded by the orchestra including a week of broadcasting for the Italian radio recorded in Rome and much more.
