Un album à succès acclamé par la critique
"Nones, besides a pianist of rank, is also a philosopher, therefore accustomed to thinking and designing in an "organic" way, to use an adjective loved by the so-called engagées). Now, in the name of this "organicity", there is no doubt that the operation carried out by the Trentino artist takes on an exquisitely "intellectual" connotation. [...] instead of using the palette of the painter, Nones prefers to handle the camera, in the sense that the clear, circumstantial, "objective" sound given by the Förster, allows to vivisect the sound, highlighting the musculature, the interweaving of nerves, the arterial branches of these compositions (to better understand, borrow that pictorial masterpiece by Rembrandt, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp), transposing them (I am obviously referring to Rachmaninov) and inserting them forcefully into a more twentieth-century project. [...] Nones never forgets the redemptive action of reason, the action of a lucidity that allows us to bring sentiments to the surface, to perform the miracle of a reunion, at least at the level of sound, between object and subject [...]. as if to say that feeling cannot be fulfilled without the implementation of reason. Only in this way, the apparent banality of such music ceases to be such, since the Trentino pianist forces us to look down, among the glimpses of muscles and nerves, making us discover, to our great amazement, that life, and not the sheer memory of it, still flows in there. ARTISTIC JUDGMENT: 4,5/5". Andrea Bedetti, MUSIC VOICE, 25 June 2022)
"An ode to peace, through musical notes." Lucia Gentili, QUOTIDIANO NAZIONALE (June 7, 2022)
"The evocative cover, featuring the beautiful photograph by Unsal Koslu of the flight of two birds as a metaphor of freedom, can be symbolically considered the guiding theme of the new excellent recording by pianist Alberto Nones titled 'Rachmaninov -Preludes, Silvestrov – Kitsch-Musik' [...] this music goes straight to the heart, touching the deepest chords of our soul. Nones holds it all together, offering us clear, profound, thoughtful executions. The precision in the use of the pedal that Silvestrov himself indicates in the scores, is made "visible to the ear" in the performance of Nones, who skillfully manages to create those nuances that emerge from the overlapping of the harmonics of the notes due precisely to the peculiar use of the resonance pedal. Sound verticality in melodic linearity. In the same way, the expertise and technical control that emerge by listening to Rachmaninov's Preludes are truly noteworthy. [...] The beautiful recording presents the kind of sound that is sometimes clearer and harsher, sometimes more enveloping and comforting, always well-finished and beautiful. A truly remarkable work, that one could listen to again and again, whose download and streaming rights will be donated 100% by the author to the young Italian-Moroccan activist Nawal Soufi". Luciano Feliciani, KHATHODIK, 2 June 2022.
