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!
