Album Notes

"There are very few piccolo players in this world who have mastered their instrument to the extent that it is a real pleasure to listen to, Nicola Mazzanti is one of them. His rendition of the sonata is played with style, accuracy, groove and beauty - wonderfully accompanied by Giovanni Verona on piano. Thanks guys for such a great performance!" (Mike Mower)

Fabulous!
author: Regina Helcher
                            
This is a fabulous CD! It contains some of the best piccolo playing I have ever heard! I am the piccolo player who commissioned Mike Mower to write the Sonata, and I want to applaud Nicola on a fabulous performance of it!

Outstanding performance of contemporary music
author: Michael Magie
                            
I was particularly interested in the piece by Davide Zannoni, whom I know and whose music I especially value, and this performance is outstanding in capturing the intricate and varying interplay between piccolo and piano. But all the pieces on this CD are terrific and the performances brilliant.
