"The Adagio sostenuto composed at 1989,is dominated by a gentle melancholy, appearing immediately in the strings, with a sense of being resigned to human frailty. The melody yearns, aches, slowly becoming more clearly defined, exploring all the registers, from the lowest to the highest, as if trying to invade every aspect of existence. There are but a few notes, and yet they appear to be trying to multiply infinitely, in their emotional reverberations. The descending figure reappears once again- it seems to be slowly taking over the melody, enfolding it, imprisoning it, so that all it can do, in the last moments, is sink and die."

“...Rich in feeling and sensitivity, a literally gushing source of melodies, he does not fall back on technological contrivances or an arrogantly fabricated technique to express his outpouring of music Both the maturity and the elaborate expression of his thought are proof of his talent as a composer. Beyond all that, however, the felicity of Vanghelis Petsalis's orchestration of his 1st Symphony and his unquestionable ability in this delicate musical process demonstrate the existence of an exceptional understanding of the possibilities of sound, of an eclecticism, which distinguish him as a symphonist ...” COSTAS CHARALAMBIDIS President of the Society of Greek Theatre and Music critics |

The additional "Fuga in 4 voci" to the "Adagio for strings no1".Three years after I had completed the "Adagio for strings no1",the conductor of Greek National Orchestra ERT,Akis Kavalieratos gave me the idea of composing an additional "Fuga in 4 voci" to it.So,I wrote this fugue which may sound as an "homagge"to the great Master J.S.Bach,but has some notable differences.The re-establishment of the Adagio in the place of Fugue`s Coda(in a risolving form)is the most obvious of them. |

The third movement is marked Allegro energico The violin's wail is answered by the wind this is a call, a warning, signalling the arrival of something, a figure looming on the horizon The passage is marked by the strings, locked into their cadenza rhythm, becoming ever weightier, ever mare oppressive The brass hastens to the scene, both to witness and participate Its arrival is followed by a deafening orchestral tutti, a disturbing, elephantine, devastating presence Everything is overturned Then, slowly, it drifts away, its passing clearly marked, acknowledged by the mournful sighing of the strings The final Largo is marked Tempo di marcia funebre.(Marco Ianneli) |
