Put together the group, after a twenty-six years intermission, seemed to me like a
frightening and,
at the same time, charming challenge. The true music passion of
fine musicians like Piero Mortara and all players involved and, not least, the
strong support by Beppe Crovella , have eventually convinced me that I should give it a try.
After an eleven months work here
it is : "Planetarium" , the new Cd that, as I hope,
will be a good enough follower of Sarabanda, which I still rate as my best musical work. To that magic
band and especially to the composer and piano player Ludovico Einaudi I want to dedicate
the song n.8 "Moon Over Dogliani", the magic place on the Langhe hills ,
where a good part
of the music contained in Sarabanda
was composed and rehearsed. The song "Bibuschka" was composed
for my beloved wife Bibi Venegoni.
I hope sincerely that You can appreciate this music as much as we all liked to compose and play it.
Thanks.
