This year, International Piano Day falls on March 28th, and Italian composer Fabrizio Paterlini is commemorating the occasion with a special release. His critically acclaimed album, “Riverscape,” is now available in a deluxe edition.
About “Riverscape” Deluxe Edition
Known for his dreamy, emotional, and oh-so-relaxing piano pieces, Paterlini has been described as “tapping directly into universal human emotions.” His music has been featured in movies, making it perfect for those who love a good cinematic soundscape. This new version of “Riverscape” includes three extra tracks: “Chamber 24,” “Jumping On The Stars,” and “The Wait.” Each one is inspired by the flow, rhythm, and stories carried by water. For those seeking a gift for a music lover in need of a tranquil escape, “Riverscape” is a perfect choice.
Critics have consistently praised Paterlini’s music for its unique ability to transport listeners to a tranquil state. Described by CLASH as having a “uniquely calming quality, a feel of perpetual flow,” Paterlini’s music is said to evoke a “dreamy realm of sound,” according to Yamaha. TotalNtertainment finds Paterlini’s work to be both “hypnotic and magical,” while The Arts Shelf credits the music with “taping directly into universal human emotions.” “Riverscape” is a collaborative effort between Paterlini and photographer Kristel Schneider. Inspired by Schneider’s captivating photographs of the French Allier River, Paterlini crafted a soundtrack that captures the essence of water—its languages, its scents, and the rich history it carries.
