Mischief, brevity, constancy. Piano works by Vittorio Rieti.

This podcast presents pianist Giorgio Koukl in conversation with Raymond Bisha at the end of a five-year project to rehabilitate the complete works for piano solo and duo by Vittorio Rieti (1898-1994). Virtually self-taught, Rieti went on to establish his composing credentials, becoming the only Italian composer, for example, to be invited to write ballet music for Diaghalev. His neo-classical style remained a constant in his output, as did his sense of musical humour.
