Maurizio Mastrini and realized by writer Carla Barbara Coppi: “Christmas eve” and “The Moon”. Instead, the love passion is represented in the album by three songs: “The Kiss”, “Hello George”, a tribute to George Michael, dedicated to all marginalized people, and “Passion”, “a song destined to Astor Piazzolla, “as he suggested me in a dream”, tells Maurizio.
The pure virtuosity is represented by the song “Paganiniana” whose theme and variations are inspired to the capriccio in “A minor” of Paganini. In order to have a male and percussive sound, Maurizio Mastrini also plays some parts of the executions standing and it shows his great talent and his famous mastery with the keyboard, who is magically “touched” to perform “hails down” of notes, octaves, chords, glissandos.
The surprises of the album are not finished, in fact in the new work Master Mastrini also included the famous ‘80s success of the band Europe “The Final Countdown”, played in a concert version.
The experts defined Maurizio Mastrini in the “The Pianist” the piano version of the cello duo “2cellos” who is getting a big success in the world.
