Piano Solo - Incanti

The Piano Series

"PIANO SOLO Incanti", the latest solo work by one of the most charismatic pianists on both Italian and international scenes in the past forty years. A work which moves with great elegance and charm on some of the most beautiful notes by composers such as Monteverdi, Tchaikovsky, Fauré, Handel and Bartók, choosing compositions that offer new life through the genius, yet never taken for granted, reading by the Milanese pianist. Because Gaslini, a musician capable of writing some of the most important pages of music in Italy, in his artistic career has always seamlessly tied together jazz, contemporary and classical music as only an attentive and omnivorous observer can do, becoming the protagonist of this contemporaneity. Composer, pianist and conductor, Giorgio Gaslini gives his audience, and his listeners, a new album on the CAM JAZZ label. More than ever this work by the pianist from Milan is inspiring, intimate and charming, going straight to the heart of the listener. A palette of colors that is expressed in all its glory in Gaslini's elegant and unique playing. From Il Lamento di Arianna to Chanson Triste, by way of Au Bord de L’Eau by Fauré, “PIANO SOLO Incanti” celebrates the pianist's deepest love for classical music.

Recorded live at Auditorium Palacultura Antonello da Messina on 13 May 2011 in Messina (Italy)
