CD recordings

By the end of January there will be 2 new recordings of mine published, and I'm very happy!

A solo CD, "Italian Memories", with a program that features Italian composers, and a CD for the label Carleton Sound with cellist Paul Marleyn that features Beethoven cello Sonata n.3 and Rachmaninov cello Sonata.

And tomorrow concert in Ottawa, 8pm - Woodroffe United Church, where I'll perform the melodrama Enoch Arden with actor Kevin White (music by R. Strauss on a poem by A. Tennyson)

I’m in Brasilia after a couple of concerts and some master classes in Goiania (at Universidade Federal de Goiania) during the last days.
I’ve had the pleasure to perform with my friends David Gardner (cello), Alessandro Borgomanero (violin) and Julie Nesrallah (mezzo-soprano).
A taste of Brahms op.8 together with “Briefe an die unsterblieche Geliebte” an excellent work by my colleague James Wright based on the letters to the immortal beloved by L. van Beethoven.
We had nice days together, weather is quite hot and humid, I’ve seen again the monkeys which I like a lot, and had a night in a proper Churrascaria!


Now, before I take a flight to Italy, the last Brazilian project during this tour: a recording to be done in the next 2 days with David Gardner.

A concert in Gravenhurst with actor Kevin White, and 2 concerts in Toronto with Benjamin Bowman and Winona Zelenka. A great experience and a lot of fun!

Chin Radio is a multicultural radio, and my show is in Italian, even though music is a universal language and everybody is welcome to listen to it!
