Description
Ennio Porrino (1910-1959) was an Italian composer known for his deep connection to Sardinian musical traditions and his ability to blend them with modern compositional techniques. Born in Cagliari, Sardinia, Porrino studied composition under Ottorino Respighi, which influenced his rich and evocative orchestration. His works often reflected the landscapes, folklore, and cultu- ral identity of Sardinia, making him a significant figure in 20th-century Italian music. One of his notable compositions is I canti dell'esilio (Songs of Exile), written in 1945. This work, composed at the end of World War II, is deeply emotional and reflects themes of longing, displacement, and nostalgia. The title itself sug- gests a sense of exile--possibly symbolic of the broader displacement caused by the war or a more personal reflection on isolation and identity. The piece is characterized by expressive melodies, poignant harmonies, and an underlying sense of melancholy. Performed by Angela Nisi (soprano) and Enrica Ruggiero (piano).
