IL MAESTRO GIORGIO GASLINI - GASLINI

Giorgio Gaslini at the piano, in music and conversation: Il maestro Giorgio Gaslini brings together five solo piano performances recorded live on 17 February 2011 and five excerpts from an interview conducted in Borgo Val di Taro on 9 October 2013. The sequence alternates piano pieces such as Alabama Suite Revisited and Skies of China with the musician's own reflections. The interview segments are spoken recordings, not instrumental tracks.
