Born in 1853 in Carolei, in the Cosenza provence of Italy, the little Alfonso immediately\\r\u003cbr\u003eappeared as an enfant prodige so that his parents decided to send him to study music at the Naples\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eConservatorium. But Rendano remained there only 6 months and at the age of 13 went to study privately with Sigismund\\r\u003cbr\u003eThalberg, one of the most acclaimed virtuosos of those days. Struck by the talent of his pupil, Thalberg sent him to Paris\\r\u003cbr\u003ewith a letter of recommendation for Rossini that eventually opened the doors to his brilliant solo career that allowed him\\r\u003cbr\u003eto play on the side of greats such as Franz Liszt and Joseph Joachim.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe listening to this new Tactus' CD delivers the image of a talented composer of complex, yet technically very\\r\u003cbr\u003einnovative music. The Barcarola, taken from the Corsaro by Byron, is divided in two wide sections dealt with great\\r\u003cbr\u003efreedom almost reminding a symphony, in the Danze slave you can easly find some Chopinian reminiscence, whilst\\r\u003cbr\u003ethe Valse triste, the two nocturnes and the Mazurka, clearly show the classic end of the century sentimentalism, yet never\\r\u003cbr\u003efalling in usless expressions. The great Rendano eclecticism then finds its full expression in the ironic (almost grotesque)\\r\u003cbr\u003eSerenata Bizzarra and in the free virtuosity of the Gavotta dei folletti where it clearly emerges the image of a composer\\r\u003cbr\u003esuspended between Chopin and Liszt.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis very important discovery of the Italian instrumental repertoire is taken to us by the excellent reading of a particularly\\r\u003cbr\u003einspired Stefano Severini.\u003cp\u003eBarcarola (dal Corsaro di G.
