Six new releases to close out the week. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎸 Fantaisie and Variations brillantes, Op. 30
Theatrical yet intimate. Davide Dipilato opens like an opera curtain, moving through quiet introspection and sudden bursts of euphoria, his emotion lying entirely in the art of chiaroscuro storytelling.

🍂 Clarinet Sonata No. 2, Op. 120: I. Allegro Amabile
Brahms's autumnal warmth, intimate and lyrical. Gervase de Peyer and Carlo Balzaretti blend in deep accord, two close friends from an unreleased 1996 concert album recorded for de Peyer's centenary.

🎬 Amarcord
A memory surfacing, tender and heavy with nostalgia. Benedetta Iardella caresses the keys with such delicacy that the piece becomes a quiet bridge between listener and the warmth of things remembered.

🌿 Piano Sonata in A major, D. 664
Tender, resigned, quietly lonely. Paolo Ceccarini draws the listener into a deep contemplative state, becoming that consoling presence Schubert's wanderer was always searching for.

🎭 Sinfonia in La maggiore, Op. 113
Instruments as opera voices. Bazzini Consort opens a new album of unpublished Ponchielli works with bold drama and aching, heartfelt pathos, steeped in Romantic nostalgia and stage passion.

❄️ Falling Snowflakes
Fragile, dreamlike, quietly intense. Riccardo Maini lets the music drift and grow like snowflakes finding their way down, revealing its full beauty only as it unfolds.

Some music breaks you open. Some holds you together. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎻 Eugene Onegin, Op. 24: Lensky's Aria
Lensky's farewell, sung by a cello. Samsonov opens with a whispered question, rises into passionate despair, then fades slowly into silence. Six minutes of pure, devastating vulnerability with Metamorphose String Orchestra.

🎹 Mephisto Waltz No. 1, S. 514
Control, mockery, then sudden warmth. Angelo Martino plays the clash between Mephisto and Faust with gripping intensity, leaving the listener suspended between atmospheres in a kind of trance.

🌙 Waltzes, Op. 34: No. 2 in A minor, Lento
Regret, nostalgia, soft resignation. Vadim Chaimovich shapes Chopin's shifting colours with rare sensitivity, letting brief glimpses of light surface before the darker theme returns, cutting even deeper.

🚂 In viaggio
Melody at the heart of everything. Silvio Capeccia, pioneer of Italian punk rock with Decibel, now explores original compositions through an intimate solo piano language, letting emotion and imagination lead the way.

From opera stages to quiet rooms after dark. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎭 Mozart: Don Giovanni — Prague Version
Laughter, mourning, a clash of swords and a father's last breath. Orchestra da Camera Canova throws the listener from irony to drama in an instant. A project up for an ICMA award.

🎸 24 Leçons progressives, Op. 31: No. 23
Solemn, intimate, unhurried. Davide Dipilato turns a Sor study into a quiet act of prayer, letting the guitar breathe between each phrase.

🌊 Etudes, Op. 25
More poem than study. Paolo Ceccarini closes the cycle where it began, Chopin's Aeolian Harp shimmering and tender, its melody almost whispered beneath the surface.

🎬 Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso
Each note a drop of memory. Benedetta Iardella drifts from the softest whisper to a swelling moment of longing and regret.

🌓 Shadows (Vocal Version)
Where there is a shadow, there is still light. Wasylla and Sarah Joy turn a meditation on love and imperfection into something quietly luminous.

Every Friday has its own weather. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎻 Pezzo capriccioso, Op. 62
A cry that grows into a scream. Samsonov's cello opens with taut, dignified melancholy before the rhythm accelerates into desperate frenzy, Metamorphose String Orchestra raw, piercing and emotionally unsparing.

🎵 5 Bagatelles, Op. 23: V. Fughetta
Vibrant, witty and full of determination. Gervase de Peyer and Carlo Balzaretti chase each other in a quick, ironic dialogue, two close friends brought back together in an unreleased 1996 concert album for de Peyer's centenary.

🌌 The Sight
Slow, meditative, unhurried. Mironchyk lets silence carry as much weight as sound, gathering the album's many moods into a single act of seeing inward.

🍂 Autumn Improvisations
Delicate, warm and graceful. Duo Unicord captures the beauty and fleeting magic of autumn, harp and piano moving together like leaves caught in a gentle wind.

🎠 Le piccole cose
A circular piano waltz inspired by fairground music on a mechanical organ. Silvio Capeccia keeps it simple and hypnotic, dreamy and slightly melancholic, the first step into a new collection built around emotion and imagination.

Six releases, one Friday, endless places to get lost in. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎸 24 Petites pièces progressives, Op. 44: No. 15
A precious miniature of calm, classical grace. Davide Dipilato opens his debut recording with this Fernando Sor study, each phrase carrying an intimate emotional world in only a few bars.

🌊 Etude, Op. 25: No. 12 in C minor "Ocean"
A calm surface that suddenly breaks into storm. Paolo Ceccarini carries you straight into the swell, pulling you into a moment where you feel tiny yet profoundly alive, before peace returns after the tempest.

🎬 Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
Dusty rooms lit by a projector, fragments of memory long forgotten. Benedetta Iardella brings a deep melancholy to Morricone's beloved theme, tracing the passing of time with a delicate, cinematic touch.

🌙 Harp Lullabies for Baby Sleep
Warm, intimate and dreamlike. DolceArpa transforms a timeless Disney classic into a soothing harp reverie, gentle enough to carry anyone quietly into sleep.

🌧️ Another Rainy Day
Reflective, peaceful, slightly melancholic, yet ultimately comforting. Duo Unicord weaves harp and piano into a minimalist, elegant piece that captures the quiet atmosphere of a rainy afternoon.

✨ You, Fading
Watching someone slowly fade like a distant light on the horizon. Wasylla traces memory and absence through delicate, introspective melodies, introducing the upcoming album Shadows.

Not every Friday sounds the same. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎻 Chant du ménestrel, Op. 71
The portrait of a solitary medieval bard. Samsonov's cello voices grief over a lost past and an unanswered love, while Metamorphose String Orchestra answers with a hushed, dreamlike backdrop, until the cello cries out in passionate despair before settling into quiet resignation.

🌸 Don Giovanni, K. 527: "Vedrai, carino"
Pure sweetness and intimacy. Giulia Bolcato gives Zerlina a voice that wraps the listener like an embrace, serene and quietly restoring, with Orchestra da Camera Canova under Enrico Saverio Pagano. The second single before a complete album also in contention for an ICMA award.

💙 Devotion
A melody that returns again and again, as though devotion itself refuses to waver. Mironchyk moves through tenderness and quiet ache, letting a thread of hope glow beneath the sadness.

🌅 The Dots of Lake
Delicate melodies and atmospheric textures inspired by a lake at dusk. Fabio Gangi and Dado create a cinematic, contemplative mood, capturing the subtle beauty of light on water.

Some Fridays ask you to feel everything at once. New Music Friday is here 🎵

🎻 Mozart: Violin Sonatas K. 547, K. 377, K. 378, K. 379
Violin and piano confiding rather than competing, through playful light and deep sorrow. Andrea Castagna and Lorenzo Bavaj bring rare intimacy to Mozart, the first complete sonata project of its kind in Italy.

🦋 Etude, Op. 25: No. 9 in G-flat major "Butterfly"
A fleeting joy that never sits still. Paolo Ceccarini gives Chopin's Butterfly real wings, opening like colorful wings caught in a single beat before it is gone, leaving only the memory of that flight.
