LATEST NEWS
I have just finished working on what will be my next two albums. You can preview here the cover of one of them, featuring the complete unpublished art songs of an Italian composer I have virtually rediscovered as a vocal chamber music composer.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. The CD, featuring the outstanding voice of Gabriella Costa, is coming out with Da Vinci Classics (we also plan to work on a musical edition of the scores), and all the songs will soon be available also on the digital platforms. Updates soon on the next project, also revolving around vocal chamber music with piano.
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
https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/it/israel_palestine_save_the_kids_loc/?copy;
- the "Stop Border Violence" European Citizens' Initiative to stop torture, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment at the borders of Europe (as much as these practices are prohibited inside the EU by Article 4 of our European Charter of Fundamental Rights... ). To sign, from any European country and any European language, click on https://eci.ec.europa.eu/032/public/#/screen/home, and follow the simple procedure.
