LE VOYAGE to  CYTHERE- Eleni Karaindrou

Alberto Iglesias - María Santísima De Araceli

My Piano and Me is a heartfelt journey through sound and silence, a quiet conversation between emotions and keys. Each piece captures a moment of introspection, memory, or gentle longing, woven into melodies that breathe and linger. Soft, sentimental, and soothing, this solo piano album invites listeners to step into a world of calm reflection, where every note is a whisper of something deeply personal.

Of Light and Letting Go

Composed between 2019 and 2021 for violist Charlotte Goode, Nevermore is a gothic suite based on three classic works by Edgar Allen Poe:
II. “Annabel Lee”:
“…this maiden she lived with no other thought than to love and be loved by me.”

The movement begins with the pure innocence of childhood love, only to be confounded in the frustration of losing the beloved Annabel Lee, presumably to the jealousy of the angels above who saw the lovers’ happiness and killed the beautiful girl in retribution.

Nonetheless, “neither the angels in Heaven above nor the demons down under the sea can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee.”

A “Gothic Suite” based on poems by Edgar Allen Poe, Nevermore was composed for violist Charlotte Goode between 2019 and 2021. The first movement is “Raven”: A man pines for his lost lover, Lenore; a raven arrives and says the one word, “Nevermore,” mocking the narrator’s sorrow. The viola line is both long-breathed and longing; some gestures from Liszt’s dark side permeate the piano. The dedicatee is also the performer here, and Goode and Hagino work perfectly together. There is a real sense of illness to “Annabel Lee”; perhaps the reverb in the recording could have been a little less here, though. The purity of the bond between Annabel Lee and her lover is the subject of the angels’ jealousy (an interesting concept in and of itself), and the angels kill Annabel Lee, but the connection between the lovers remains. Good’s tuning is perfect, her phrasing eloquent and heartfelt. The final movement is “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and six significant moments from Poe’s tale are depicted in wordless music.

In The Doors album, An American Prayer, Jim Morrison recites poetry with what seems to be an adapted musical arrangement of the "Adagio in G minor" being played in the background for Feast of Friends. Yngwie Malmsteen's Icarus Dream Suite Op. 4 is inspired and based mainly on "Adagio in G minor."

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (b. June 8, 1671, Venice, Republic of Venice; d. January 17, 1751, Venice, Republic of Venice) was a Venetian Baroque composer. He is remembered today primarily for his instrumental music, particularly the oboe concertos. Albinoni's work is still regularly recorded and the The "Adagio in G minor" attributed to him (actually a later reconstruction) is one of the most frequently recorded pieces of Baroque music. Known in his day as an opera composer, he wrote some fifty operas, 28 of of which were produced in Venice between 1723 and 1740.

His instrumental music greatly attracted the attention of Johann Sebastian Bach, who wrote at least two fugues on Albinoni's themes and constantly used his basses for harmony exercises for his pupils.

Part of Albinoni's work was lost in World War II with the destruction of the Dresden State Library, thus little is known of his life and music after the mid 1720s.

The Albinoni "Adagio in G minor" is a 1958 composition by Remo Giazotto, allegedly based on fragments from a slow movement of a trio sonata he had been sent by the Dresden State Library.
