How could I not record Chopin's 'Raindrop' Prelude after how much it's been raining in Rome, Italy the last few days? :) Here's a modified version played with Celesta and re-composed in some places to enhance the beauty of this unique instrument.

Celestial Chopin - 'Raindrop' Prelude op. 28 n. 15 performed on a Celesta

Enjoy Christian Calcatelli's debut CD. This record was made the day before Christian attempted a 60 hour solo piano improvisation concert which was broadcast over the web. As you may imagine, improvising for three days and three nights is quite... taxing to say the least. This CD represents, in a way, the calm before the storm; You'll find this CD relaxing and inspiring at the same time; it works as background music but also for active, intelligent listening. Enjoy!

Reflections

Blessed with a Friend

Memories on the Shelf

Hi! I'm Christian Calcatelli & I'm an indie pianist and composer creating solo piano music that inspires, relaxes and makes you dream. Ideal as background while working or reading, but also great for a deeper listen. If you like pop music and classical piano, awesome! I like to call it... "poplical"! 

My inspiration comes from the awesomeness around us - the motion of clouds, the sound of the wind hitting leaves, listening to silence and soaking in the disguised beauty of nature. 

I love to improvise in my style: I once did so for such a long time that I earned a Guinness World Record certificate for the "world's longest solo music internet broadcast" after improvising live over the web for 3 days and 3 nights (60 hours and 1 minute). You can find some recording extracts here on Soundcloud.
