MUSICARoberto Zecchini"In by heart by Albertas Navickas various techniques are used like the blow, the pronunciation through the breath, and others with a great impact, and the result is pure transcendence.""Gargoyles in Love by Rita Ueda is descriptive music, excellently displayed by the author."Click on the image to enlarge it

CLASSIC VOICEPaolo Petazzi"Under the baton of Andrea Vitello, I Solisti della Scala offer us a CD under the sign of the variety, with a fine performance of Stravinsky's Octet and equally persuasive performances of four new works.""Eötvös and Elia: they are very different, but in common they have the solidity of the construction and the richness of the research."Click on the image to enlarge it
