薩克斯風音樂家馬可.亞伯涅堤在英國Chandos廠牌的第三張專輯轉向他的祖國義大利豐富的電影音樂傳統. 馬可寫說:"電影音樂被描述成為二十世紀古典音樂特定的新曲目類別, 它既吸引觀眾的耳朵也引他們的心靈. 尤其是兩位義大利電影音樂作曲家尼諾.羅塔(Nino Rota)和顏尼歐.莫利克奈(Ennio Morricone)的大師級作品, 具體表現了大多數義大利人的文化認同, 也受到世界各地觀眾的認可與喜愛. 在這張專輯中的電影主題音樂捕捉住浪漫愛情, 憂鬱心情, 友誼和暴力. 這些音樂創作以激情振動的音符持續地吸引著聽眾, 而且這幾位義大利作曲家的作品無論何時何地演奏時都會帶來熱情活力. 電影音樂是為了螢幕情節而伴奏的. 但是, 這些偉大的義大利作曲家的音樂是如此的強力與持久, 甚至於這些旋律可以獨立自成一格, 傳送我們到另一個時間與地方, 喚起過去經驗的回憶或是向我們介紹一個新世界, 有只能在我們的想像中看到的地方. 此專輯是向義大利精神的一個致敬, 和透過一個音樂之旅來表達我的精神: 用一張來自於義大利的明信片呈現".
For his third album for Chandos, the saxophonist Marco Albonetti turns to the rich tradition of film music from his native Italy. Marco writes: 'Film music has been described as the defining new genre of classical music in the twentieth century. It engages both the ear and the heart of an audience. The masterpieces composed by two Italian film composers in particular, Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone, embody the cultural identity of most Italians and they have become recognised and loved by audiences around the world. The film themes on this album capture the magical combination of romance, melancholy, friendship, and violence. The notes vibrate with such passion that the compositions continue to engage the listener, bringing the work of these great Italian composers to life wherever and whenever it is performed. Film music is meant to be an accompaniment to the action on screen. However, the music of the great Italian composers is so powerful and enduring that these melodies can stand on their own merit, transporting us to another time and place, evoking memories of past experiences or introducing us to new worlds, places which we can only see in our imagination. This album is a tribute to the Italian spirit, to my spirit, expressed through a musical journey: it offers Postcards from Italy.'
