Outside Italy – perhaps beyond the shores of his native Sicily – the name of Eliodoro Sollima (1926-2000) has not travelled wide, beyond the accomplishments of his five musical children, and in particular the cellist Giovanni Sollima. On a previous Brilliant Classics album (96287) from 2022, Giovanni paid a touching tribute to his father’s memory with a collection of chamber music. ‘This album is a winner!’ reported Fanfare magazine and noted how the ‘compositional style of this substantial and serious composer developed significantly’ between 1945 and 1995. This new album of Eliodoro Sollima’s orchestral music covers a similar period, between the Aria for cello and strings (1945) and Attesa (1997).
