LATEST NEWS

I have just finished working on two new albums. One fatures the complete unpublished art songs of an Italian composer I have virtually rediscovered as a vocal chamber music composer. His name is Marco Anzoletti, and his music is truly wonderful.To know more about Anzoletti, you can read my liner notes, available at this link (Description); one finds there also my transcriptions of the wonderful lyrics (verses by Dante, Petrarca, Carducci, Luisa Anzoletti...). The voice is that of the renowned soprano Gabriella Costa.

The other album stems from another very original project of vocal chamber music, a series of albums dedicated to musical encounters between the East and the West. The first chapter features music by Brahms and the Korean composer Isang Yun (whose music is interesting just as much as his biography - was kidnapped in Germany by the secret services of his country...). Label: Halidon Music, with which I am proud to collaborate starting from this year. The singer here is Hyunah Cecilia Son, a Korean soprano who was once my student at the "Puccini" Conservatory of Gallarate. I am delighted to have guided her to her debut in the world of discography!

But talking of something a little more important, I promote two intiatives:

- the call to Stop the bloodshed of both Palestinian and Israeli children (and, possibly, not only children). To sign, go to
