DVD is NTSC, region-free. A live recording of the 2004 world premiere of Daniele Lombardi's divina.com, a mixed media event in 36 parts for voice, ensemble, live electronics, and video. Daniele Lombardi is a composer, pianist and visual artist of international stature thanks to his extraordinary repertoire. For several years he has directed the festival Nuova Musica Italiana e Nuova Musica Internazionale in Rome. Daniele Lombardi has taught piano at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan. Thirty-four plaques containing fragments of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy are dotted around the historical center of Florence. They were placed there at the beginning of the 1900s and were intended as a reminder of those people and places that had left their mark on the city and its history: a few lines from the boundless ocean of the poem floating adrift. Divina.com was written as a mixed media piece to be sung by David Moss and comprises ensemble, live electronics and video. It was premiered on July 5th, 2004 in front of Michelangelo's David at Florence's Galleria dell'Accademia. The current audio edition is the live recording of that event. Divina.com comprises thirty-six episodes, one for each epigraph and a further two, which refer to Michelangelo, who had written some of Dante's verses next to the sketches in two of his drawings. The various excerpts are in syntactical order linked to the unfolding of the composition. David Moss - voice; Ensemble Novecento e oltre; Antonio Ballista - conductor.

2011 release. Costellazione Seconda is the follow-up to Daniele Lombardi's 1978 Costellazione, a piano exploration based on a map of constellations planned as the first step of a large work focused on the exposition and performance of constellations maps, planetaria, and maps of the heavens. Costellazione Seconda is broken up into 21 short piano movements concentrated on incredibly short staccato notes that sting violently between fractured harmonics, leaving plenty of momentum-puncturing silences to really heighten the sense of disorientation -- as well as two long (over 20 minutes) piano excursions.

This CD presents an anthology of pieces composed for flute by Daniele Lombardi (lives in Florence, Italy) between 1972 and 2003. The title, Mazes, represents the fil rouge which runs through the pieces included in the CD. The turf mazes were, after all, labyrinths which provided entertainment in medieval Britain: convoluted paths carved into level areas of short grass, turf or lawn and located in popular meeting places or where games and celebrations were traditionally held. The imaginative elegance of Daniele Lombardi's graphic notations stimulates the performer's creativity by offering him the opportunity to give a rendering which, when released, flows freely. The scores are devoid of traditional notation and the mixture of musical parameters is achieved solely by the graphics and their characteristics. Performed by Roberto Fabbriciani, who was born in Arezzo in 1949 and studied with Severino Gazzelloni. An internationally-recognized performer and innovative artist, he has renewed the technique of flute playing by expanding the timbral potential of his instrument. He has worked with several leading composers such as Luciano Berio, Sylvano Bussotti, John Cage, Elliott Carter, Aldo Clementi, Luis de Pablo, Franco Donatoni, Brian Ferneyhough, Jean Françaix, Ernest Krenek, György Kurtág, György Ligeti, Olivier Messiaen, Ennio Morricone, Luigi Nono, Goffredo Petrassi, Henri Pousseur, Wolfgang Rihm, Nicola Sani, Giacinto Scelsi, Salvatore Sciarrino, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Toru Takemitsu and Isang Yun. They have dedicated many works to him that he then premiered.
