Four new albums of mine have been released this year. Two are chamber music: one features the complete unpublished art songs of Marco Anzoletti (1867-1929), a world premiere recording resulting from extensive research; the other album, where West meets East, includes music by Brahms and the Korean composer Isang Yun (the debut album of my former student, Huynah Cecilia Son). The other two releases are piano solo recordings. You can see here the covers. My recording of the Nocturnes just received a 5-star review in the American music magazine Fanfare!

But talking of something just a little more important, I draw your attention to other intiatives:

​​

- all calls are good to Stop the bloodshed in Israel/Palestine:

​

- as for the bloodshed in Ukraine, the proceeds from the streams and sales of one of my albums, dedicated to music of the living Ukrainian composer Silvestrov and the Russian composer Rachmaninov, have been and will continue to be entirely donated to an activist who helps refugees from all wars. In my own small way;

​

- ​I promoted the "Stop Border Violence" European Citizens' Initiative to end torture, inhuman treatment, and punishment at Europe's borders. The campaign has concluded, and unfortunately, only 22,870 people signed the petition (you can see here the results). While the response in Italy was somewhat better, many European countries had virtually no participation, falling far short of each country's target. Despite these discouraging results, we remain steadfast. Kant contemplated a cosmopolitan right over two centuries ago, advocating for a "right to visit and to associate, belonging to all men by virtue of their common ownership of the earth's surface... because originally no one had a greater right to any region of the earth than anyone else." We still have a long journey ahead, but let's continue our efforts. Europe is nothing but the place we envision and create through our collective determination. Thank you to everyone who promoted the ECI, organized signing tables in the most remote locations, and tirelessly spread the word online. And thank you to all who supported it!
