Title Description:
Luca Miti, pianoforte

What we are here presenting is one of the most intimate releases we produced ever. Luca Miti is a strange kind of composer and musician. And organizer, too. He has the uncommon attitude to make private experiences and let them become public in a very natural way. Primarily known for his compositions (most of them unconventional and experimental in the best sense) and impro-live-written collaborations, heÕs also a perfomer with many different sides. One of these aspetcs is shown in this album. This is really an album in the broader sense. It contains pieces that are images of life for Luca. They are parts of his own musical essence. The daily activities, the loving moments, the earliest listening, the deep influences, all of this is comprised in this lovely compilation. The Piano is the classic instrument of Luca. HeÕs not the incredibly skilled performer, but heÕs, to me, the "real" performer. And, most important, he really understand (Ôcause he loves it) the music he plays. This CD is not only a collection of beautiful pieces by more or less known contemporary composers. ItÕs, first of all, a gift that Luca makes to himself and to us, trying to communicate his own experience.
YouÕll have the chance to discover some little gems in it. And youÕll have the opportunity to listen to them in the most honest way you can do.

I received a copy of the new master, and it was a lovely surprise. I have always thought of you mostly as a composer, but here you are also playing the piano very well. More important, you are a real interpreter. You have found a collection of little known pieces that really go together and you have placed them in what sounds to me like the right sequence.
I must add that I did appreciate your interpretation of my own Long Decays. Most people read too fast and donÕt give the sound time to really fade out. (Tom Johnson)
