Dušan BOGDANOVIĆ (b. 1955) Music Gardens of the World DUO Goni-Perretta – Antigoni Goni, Eleonora Perretta, Guitars
Listen to an excerpt from Music Garden Suite: II. Mon joileux souvenir LISTEN
Dušan Bogdanović’s inspiration behind this project came from writing a compilation of world music pieces for his young son, but after hearing the duo of Antigoni Goni and Eleonora Perretta perform he greatly expanded the idea. The abundant spirit of these folk inspirations is exemplified by their variety – from 17th-century chanson to Irish fiddle jigs; humorous Dalmatian songs to a Sephardic romance; and from the dances of southeastern Iran to Balinese rice-pounding music. To introduce a popular flavour, he has added arrangements of three beloved Neapolitan songs. Key features: • Dušan Bogdanović has been called ‘a composer of masterful craft with a genuine clarity and purity of vision’ ( Guitar Review ). He received the only First Prize at the Geneva Competition and gave a highly acclaimed debut recital at Carnegie Hall in 1977. Over 200 of his compositions – including solo guitar pieces, chamber music, and orchestral works – have been published.
