First heard this peice when I went to see the cheesy yet magical Atelier Lumiere installation in Paris. Klimt, himself both cheesy and magical, is one of my all time favorite artists. And there's just nothing in the world like Philip Glass's exquisite minimalism. What a perfectly absurd contrast to set Klimt's elegant excess to. I played this for a pianist who likes to play Glass, and she pointed out that this composition was performed on an upright piano rather than a grand. The sharp icicle stabs made by the high notes indicate the shorter strings. Technically, they're not as rich as a grand's high notes, but this was a deliberate, perfect choice. Sometimes, imperfection is perfect.

Etude for Piano No. 2 by Philip Glass, a great re-composition.

This is my favorite <3  :) I went to Paris to see the Gustav Klimt exhibition !! Eres un genio. Puedo sentir que amas lo que haces!!

Hi Luca - we went to the Klimt exhibition on Wednesday (a great exhibition) and particularly liked your arrangement of the Glass étude. So we were delighted to be able to lsten to it again here. Cogratulatons - the strings really add something to what is already a special piece of music.

it was so beautiful ! come un sogno meraviglioso ! :) grazie

Late Sun

Piano  M 7993 3:02 20-09-2025

Light emerges from fragments scattered in the void, floating like shooting stars in rivers that move against time. Each moment is a breath caught between worlds, where silence expands into vast labyrinths and melodies flicker like hidden codes at the heart of the unknown. The journey unfolds like a dialogue between earth and sky, revealing secrets that bring shadows and whispers written in memory. What begins as a broken light becomes a timeless weight of dreams: forgotten yet eternal, fragile yet endless.

Just A Touch (unreleased)

Italian composer and pianist Luca Longobardi represents the generation of classically trained musicians who incorporate the language of contemporary electronic music into their pieces, which are furthermore strongly connected to the multimedia arts. Born in 1976, Longobardi studied classical music in Italy and New York and went on to earn his doctorate in digital audio restoration in Rome in 2011. His works reveal a strong interaction between classical and contemporary music. The experience he has gained as a theatre musician has increased his interest in the relationship between sounds and spectacle; he has composed music for ballets and films and accompanied installations and experimental art productions (Atelier de Lumières - Paris, Carrières de Lumières - Baux-de-Provence, Kunstkraftwerk - Leipzig). At his multimedia performances and in his recordings, strongly experimental electronic music meets pure, ethereal and simple-seeming piano playing that nevertheless relays deep emotions.
