Michele Marelli - Contemporary Clarinet (2016) [Hi-Res]

Michele Marelli, who holds a major in clarinet with highest honors “Summa cum laude” from the Conservatory of Alessandria under the guidance of Prof. Giacomo Soave, and a degree in Modern Literature from the University of Turin with a thesis on Stockhausen, is internationally known as one of the best contemporary music soloists of his generation. He furthered his studies in England with Alan Hacker, in Germany with Suzanne Stephens and in France with Alain Damiens.

As an 18-year-old he met Karlheinz Stockhausen, establishing a profound artistic relationship that lasted for more than a decade during which, chosen by the Maestro himself as soloist of his Ensemble, Marelli played World Premieres under his instruction and guidance and recorded 3 CDs for the Stockhausen Complete Edition. Stockhausen himself led Marelli to devote himself to the basset horn. Marelli’s mastery of the instrument led Giorgio Gaslini to define him as one of its 'leading performers”. “Very gifted” according to Stockhausen, “an absolute genius” according to Suzanne Stephens, he performs as a soloist in some of the most prestigious concert halls and radio programs in the world.
