Now it is his fifteen-year-old friendship and musical collaboration with Luigi Piovano that is reflected in this new and exciting album, in which the two musicians finally record their interpretation- honed over the years in dozens of performances at leading concert halls such as Rome, Milan, Bologna, Florence, and Brussels- of the two Brahms cello sonatas and a gem of late nineteenth-century Italian instrumental music: Giuseppe Martucci's Two Romances op. 72. Two further elements add life and fascination to this new Arcana release: the instruments used (a sumptuous Alessandro Gagliano cello of 1710 and a splendid piano by Steinway and Sons built in New York in 1875) and the atmospheric surroundings in which the recording was made- not a sterile studio, but the magnificent villa, deep in the tranquil and harmonious verdue of the Tuscan countryside, of a great friend of the two musicians, Nicola Bulgari.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
