Our Take

Italian pianist Alessio Bax brings a touch of dolce vita to his latest album "Italian Inspirations." This collection of works by Italian composers showcases Bax's virtuosic skills and deep emotional connection to his homeland.

From the fiery opening of Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata in D minor to the playful romp of Giovanni Sgambati's La Fontana di Arethusa, Bax navigates the intricate rhythms and lyrical melodies with effortless grace. His interpretations are imbued with a sense of nostalgia and longing, as if each note carries the weight of centuries of Italian history and culture.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Cipressi, a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Bax's sensitivity and nuance. The delicate interplay between the hands and the subtle shifts in dynamics create a sense of atmosphere that is both captivating and immersive.

Throughout "Italian Inspirations," Bax's technical prowess is on full display, with dazzling runs and cascading arpeggios that will leave you breathless. But what truly sets this album apart is Bax's ability to convey the essence of each composer's unique voice, capturing the soul of Italy in every phrase.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter pianists, Alessio Bax stands out as a true artist, bringing a fresh perspective and a touch of Italian flair to the classical music scene. "Italian Inspirations" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of Italian music. Grazie, signor Bax, for this musical masterpiece.
