Album Notes & Community Reviews

Performed at the legendary Milan opera house, this recording captures an intensely melodic and melancholic solo piano concert. The improvised suite unfolds slowly, bridging classical impressionism with lyrical jazz phrasing, culminating in a deeply emotional rendition of 'Over the Rainbow'. The pristine acoustics of the venue heavily inform the delicate, spacious pacing of the performance.
