Piatti's music being recorded worldwide

Three of Piatti's works are been prepared to be recorded around the world at the moment: his 12 Miniatures for Piano Quartet entitled ‘Entangled’’ for violin, viola, cello, and piano. The composition is to be recorded in London by the prestigious Phacelia Ensemble. The newly written work was conceived during the pandemic and as a collaboration with local photographer Paul Knight after the recent publishing of his spectacular book ‘Entanglement’. The recording will be used for an upcoming video showing Paul Knight’s photographs while listening to Piatti’s music. The second work is an adaptation for clarinet and piano of Piatti’s  'Impossible Piece No. 2’ originally written for clarinet and orchestra. The technically demanding work is due to be recorded soon in Italy this coming June by renowned musicians Antonello Timpani and Antonio D’Antó. Another set of exciting compositions will be recorded in Argentina by international star guitarist Sergio Puccini. They include one of Piatti’s most beloved works, entitled ‘Goodbye’ (a funeral’s favourite) with the City of Prague Philharmonic and also a virtuosic composition named ‘Capriccio for Guitar’ a new work that is apparently so difficult that when listening to it you are made to believe that two guitarists are playing and not just one!

LATEST COMMISSION HAD ITS WORLD-PREMIERE The Birds

Hastings 7.08.2020

The locked-down world-premiere of The Birds, a specially commissioned piece dedicated to fabulous young virtuoso flutist Daisy Noton, had its world-premiere in August 2020, performed by Daisy together with amazing pianist Oliver Poole in front of Piatti's benefactor and a very small number of friends. The score features the singing of numerous birds from Europe, North- and South-America, engaging in some Latin rhythms and melancholic moods, all inspired by the sudden silence and the re-discovery of birds' singing in a pandemic that brought not only pain but also reflection, introspection and more time to listen to nature.

GREAT SUCCESS FOR THE WORLD-PREMIERE OF THE BOHEMIAN CONCERTO

13.10.2019

Described as "one of Piatti's most beautiful and accomplished works to-date”, his Bohemian Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was given its first performance by virtuoso pianist Thomas Pandolfi together with the Symphonicity Symphony Orchestra under the direction of maestro Daniel W. Boothe in Virginia Beach, in the United States of America.

The "Bohemian" is a very emotional and passionate work, very much in the spirit of Chopin’s and Rachmaninoff's concertos, with the piano as the main protagonist while the orchestra dialogues with, and supports the soloist, requiring from the pianist both a very fine and subtle interpretation ability as well as considerable stamina and technical skills.

The concerto's  name refers to the spirit of what we call a “bohemian" person, someone that leads the free spirited, tumultuous existence of an artist, with moments of excess, ecstacy and passion as well as warmth, introspection, love for the world and intense joie de vivre.
