Mario Pilati was a leading member of the Italian generation of composers born around the turn of the 20th century. His love of the Baroque can be felt in the sunny and joyful immediacy of 'Preludio, aria e tarantella', originally conceived for violin and piano. His other abiding passion was for the folk traditions of his native country, exemplified by his beautiful settings of 'Quattro canzoni popolari italiane' - light, elegant, and suffused with subtle humour - and the delightful 'Bagatelles'. In the strikingly inventive 'Divertimento' for brass ensemble, he draws on cinema, jazz and the vibrancy of Neapolitan street life.
