A precious sound document by the late maestro Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini – also in some Tactus' historic early recordings (see TB 460090) – in a live recording on the Giuseppe Serassi 1764 organ of the Cathedral of Guastalla, 2 October 2011. The event took place as part of the «Musica intorno al fiume» organ festival, set up by the cultural association «Giuseppe Serassi» from Guastalla (RE). For the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the unification of Italy (1861-2011) Tagliavini elaborated a very interesting program aimed at celebrating the anniversary: from the Renaissance to the Risorgimento, crossing the main Italian music schools and their influences in Europe, the collection depicts a passionate and emblematic fresco of the evolution of the Italian organ school.
