التأريخ،محض صدفة. والانسان  ذا ذهن عالق دائما بالماضي.انه يتعلق ،عادة بالاشياء التي ليس بمقدورها ان تبقى.

Bruno Sanfilippo as “The Poet” paints 11 sonic canvas of exhaustively expressive modern classical minimalism at its most exceedingly exquisite and profoundly poignant. With luminary contributions of kindred souls, Julián Kancepolski (cello) and Pere Bardagí (violin), Bruno’s narrative piano wizardry significantly exhibits in awe-inspiring equilibrium with performing delicacies of his mates. The beauty of magnificently evocative quietudes is in full blossom, immerse yourself into the poet’s tremendously embracing palette of lyrical mastery and sensitive insignias as this might be his magnum opus.

In the famous “Rigoletto” quartet the voices of Liparit Avetisyan (the Duke), Emily Fons (Maddalena), Madison Leonard (Gilda), and Lester Lynch (Rigoletto) come together in one of opera’s greatest ensembles. The Duke woos Maddalena, who laughs at him; unseen by them, his ex-lover, Gilda, wails and her father, Rigoletto, mutters words of vengeance. Carlo Montanaro conducts the orchestra of Seattle Opera.

This is the last uploaded piece from the second collaborative album between @milanazilnik and @Stephan-Beneking : "Petits rêves bizarres XIII-XXIV". 

I added a little bit of a violin accompaniment line into the original piano track, at the inspiration and suggestion of @mrinal-desai 

It's been a wonderful experience and such an honor to work with these massively talented musicians - thank you all for your kind words and encouragement!! :)

My Nocturne No. 11 in G minor is one of the 11 Nocturnes that feature in my forthcoming album 'Nocturnal' to be released on February 18th. The album version is the original unplanned improvisation, but having created a score, I play it for you here.

Legacy

A piece by Beethoven performed by Anton Batagov in 2001.

Beethoven: Fur Elise

Written by: Steve Howe
Performed by: Sean Myerovich

This is the very 1st Classical song I ever heard played on guitar, and it became one of my life's missions to learn it. Over the span of about 12 years I finally learned all the parts, it took a while for me to find the music (tabs) for it, this was before everyone had computers in their home. I finally get to record it in the decent  fashion it deserves, and here it is........God Bless!  

Mood for a Day (variation) ~ Steve Howe

For Phil, traditional classical piano training was something of a straitjacket. He rebelled from a very young age by teaching himself to improvise and play by ear. Fundamentally gentle by nature - he’s a vegan and life-long meditator - the competitive world of classical piano seemed brutal. Phil plays music simply for the love of it and nothing else matters to him. He’s not interested in definitive interpretations or who-can-play-the-fastest performances: what Phil offers is real musical sense, through delivering rhythm and groove, melody and harmony with depth, clarity and unconventional intelligibility.

Phil plays in a refreshingly unpretentious and accessible way, telling musical stories with vivid, straightforward passion. Being a Yorkshireman, he says it how it is, and music for him is profound solace, catharsis and joy: so this is what he offers. Being extraordinarily fluent in the language of music on the keys, he loves to improvise freely, allowing the music to pour forth spontaneously, from a place of deep body-and-soul consciousness. And he aims to make the music of Mozart, Chopin, Rachmaninov, and every piece he plays, come from this place of real transformation and healing.
