The enduring appeal of opera in the 19th century found a new and intimate expression in the world of solo piano music. This recording demonstrates how the grandeur and expressive range of operas by Bellini and Verdi were brought from the theater to private salons and drawing rooms. The composers on this album retain the spirit of the original works, while they reinterpret the famous melodies and dramatic scenes as paraphrases, fantasies and variations. The award-winning Italian pianist Ruben Micieli performs these magnificent pieces in his own unique way, making musical and structural adjustments to each transcription after studying the scores of Bellini and Verdi.
