Andrea Riccio

Absolutely brilliant debut by the young pianist Andrea Riccio. "Every record is a text and every text is fabric, and this is a fabric of precious threads. A pianism that has gold in its fingertips, from the timbral calligraphy of the pages of Annette Dieudonne, restored to the present, to the dark abysses of a Kreisleriana that reaches the uncanny through beauty, passing through the intimism of Brian Eno, between Brahmsian suggestions, minimal and echoes of Sehnsucht and Lied. Made unique by the presence of several intact, perfect, unedited tracks and a shamanic care of the sound paste imparted to the finished product, this sonic object is a hymn to a forgotten cult: one in which virtuosity is clarity, originality of thought, uniqueness of sound."
