"There is only one way to turn a tribute into a success: the listener must have both interest in the oeuvre of the honored artist and interest in the work of the worshiping artist. Pastorino has succeeded brilliantly in this mission."

About the album

Suite for Modigliani is a homage to a passion that clarinetist Matteo Pastorino has felt since childhood, his passion for Amedeo Modigliani.

Matteo Pastorino: "It is an expression of my impressions and emotions about Modi’s art and life. The composed music was inspired by key events in his life, his creative process and his artistic pursuit.
The pure, abstract beauty of his work reminds me that the past and present in the art of any era can communicate with each other with intense authenticity and graceful respect. This dimension of Modi’s art has always fascinated me and guided me in my own musical journey. In painting, sculpture, music and other forms of artistic expression, all spontaneous quests for grace and purity echo, equate and ultimately coalesce with one another.
The following musicians have inspired, accompanied and supported me in this creative undertaking: Matthieu Roffé (piano), Damien Varaillon (double bass) and Jean Baptiste Pinet (drums). The quartet also had the pleasure of welcoming guitarist Gilad Hekselman as its special guest."

“One should consider all great works of art just as one does the works of nature. First in its aesthetic reality, then outside of the development and mysteries involved in creation, the very thing which excited and moved its creator.” – A. Modigliani, 1904 or 1905, letter to Oscar Ghiglia

Suite for Modigliani ist eine Hommage an die Leidenschaft, die Klarinettist Matteo Pastorino seit seiner Kindheit fühlte: eine Leidenschaft für Amedeo Modigliani.

Matteo Pastorino: „Es ist ein Ausdruck meiner Eindrücke von und Emotionen zu Modis Kunst und Leben. Diese komponierte Musik wurde von Schlüsselelementen in diesem Leben inspiriert, seinem kreativen Prozess und seinem künstlerischen Streben.

Die reine, abstrakte Schönheit seines Schaffens erinnert mich daran, dass die Vergangenheit und die Zukunft in der Kunst jeder Epoche mit großer Authentizität und anmutigem Respekt miteinander kommunizieren können. Das Ausmaß von Modis Kunst hat mich schon immer fasziniert und mich auf meiner eigenen musikalischen Reise geleitet. In der Malerei, Bildhauerei, Musik und anderen künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen hallen alle spontanen Suchen nach Anmut und Reinheit wieder, gleichen sich und verschmelzen letztendlich miteinander.

Die folgenden Musiker haben mich in diesem kreativen Unterfangen inspiriert, begleitet und unterstützt: Matthieu Roffé (Piano), Damien Varaillon (Kontrabass) und Jean Baptiste Pinet (Drums). Das Quartett hatte auch die Freude, den Gitarristen Gilad Hekselman als besonderen Gast willkommen zu heißen.“

„Man sollte alle großen Kunstwerke genauso betrachten wie das Werk der Natur. Zuerst in ihrer ästhetischen Realität, dann außerhalb der Entwicklung und der Geheimnisse, die Teil ihrer Schöpfung sind, nämlich das, was ihre Schöpfer erregt und bewegt hat.“ - Amedeo Modigliani, 1904-1905, Brief an Oscar Ghiglia.

Born in Sardinia in 1989, Matteo began to play the clarinet at the age of 13. Very soon,  jazz became his passion thanks to his bass playing father.

Matteo, himself,  received the Selmer prize for best soloist with a endorsement from the prestigious  brand. Still in...
