INFORMATION In
2011, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Tàmmittam Percussion
Ensemble, Guido Facchin came up with the idea of a celebratory double-CD
set. Now, after a year of work, the project has come to completion and
Dynamic can publish this unique programme, which includes some works in
première recording. CD one opens with Germaine Tailleferre’s Hommage a
Rameau (1964) and Bruno Maderna’s Concerto per due pianoforti e
strumenti (1948-49), two works that mark the beginning - it was 1992 -
of his collaboration with the Dynamic label.
