Stradivarius is pleased to present the new album by Aurora Avveduto, a young pianist who has enriched

her training by participating, among other things, in various masterclasses and seminars with

composers and performers of today's music. Entitled Stille, the CD invites you on a journey that intertwines

music from different sources (Japan, China, the United States, Italy) brought together around

the theme of the Far East and the images of permanence that derive from it, with pieces that investigate

the theme of time and suggest moments of reflection in a delicate dimension of suspension.

The CD, which opens with China Gates by John Adams, a composer of the second generation of

minimal music, is configured as a concept album centered on a certain vision of music and the

world that has roots in the Far East but which then also touches the cultures of other countries. After

the songs by Toru Takemitsu Rain Tree Sketch and Rain Tree Sketch II, from 1982 and 1992 respectively,

and after Eight Memories in Watercolor (1978-1979) by the Chinese composer Tan Dun, born

in 1957, the album closes with two compositions by two Italian authors, Pioggia d'autunno by

Federico Maria Sardelli, a multifaceted musician, painter and writer, and Stille by Giorgio Colombo

Taccani, a song from 2022 that gives the title to the entire CD, for a singular listening path that

creates bridges and links between the cultures of different countries.
