Togni: 3 Studies on Morts sans sepulture / Flute Sonata / Violin Sonata / String Trio

Since its foundation in 1979, the Ex Novo Ensemble has explored the international panorama of new music, particularly works that, although very beautiful, remain little known. For its début Naxos recording this virtuosic ensemble presents a selection of chamber music by the influential Italian composer, teacher and pianist Camillo Togni, whose fascination with German Expressionism and the Second Viennese School is evident in finely crafted, lucid compositions which are notable for their eloquent restraint and striking instrumental sonorities.
