Description
Organist Ilaria Centorino performs works by J S Bach, J L Krebs, Buxtehude, Sweelinck, Pachelbel and Weckmann.
In the history of European music, Italy has been hugely influencial in styles, genres and fashions. Since the early 16th century, musicians of all nations have accepted and regularly use terms such as "allegro", "adagio" and many other Italian words, as well as the use of numerous stylistic approaches such as imitative counterpoint. Even the organs themselves and the organ literature of Northern European owe much to the Italian tradition. Girolamo Frescobaldi was probably among the most studied Italian composers of the sixteenth century. His work was widespread in Europe thus becoming one of the main sources of inspiration for styles such as the Toccata, Canzona and Ricercare. In the following two centuries the "Italian Baroque Concerto" form
was the most widespread, including the work of Arcangelo Corelli and Antonio Vivaldi, and this was continued and transcribed by numerous other composers, notably Johann
Sebastian Bach and his cousin Johann Gottfried Walther.
The Italian School was also the first to "dictate the rules" of ornamentation, starting from the adoption of Italian terms for indicating the various types of "groppi" (types of trills) and their manner of execution.
In 2016, Ilaria Centorrino won First Prize at the "Tisia" International Organ Competition, the Second prize (first prize not awarded) and "Franz Zanin" special prize at the 5th International Organ Competition "Organi storici del Basso Friuli", She won Second prize at the 6th International Organ Competition "Premio Elvira Di Renna" in Faiano. In the same year she was recognised as being one of the outstanding students of the Italian Conservatories, and as being a winner of prizes in international competitions, by the President of the Italian Chamber of Deputys, The On. Laura Boldrini. She was highly commended during the Northern Ireland International Organ Competition in Armagh and she won the First prize at "XIII Premio delle Arti 2018", the organ competition between all the Italian Conservatoires's organ students. She has won the third Prize at the IX Miami International Organ Competition (2019).
