{"product_id":"verdi-liszt-wagner-chopin-paolo-restani","title":"Verdi, Liszt, Wagner \u0026 Chopin: Paolo Restani","description":"Paolo Restani's new recording effort, the result of a constant and very personal research work, guides  the listener through various frameworks of piano literature, cornerstones of the history of music. The  album opens with two paraphrases of Liszt from Verdi: the first from Aida, Danza sacra e duetto finale S.  436, and the second from Rigoletto, Paraphrase de Concert S. 434, concentrated on the wonderful quartet  of Act IV, where the different moods of the protagonists intertwine. From the world of Verdi we move on  to Wagner with the Solemn March to the Holy Grail from Act I of Parsifal. This journey into the dynamism  of a fascinating universe of references and relationships ends with the performance of four Nocturnes by  Chopin (123  and Nocturnes in C sharp min. Op. posth.) and, again by Chopin, the most famous of Polonaise,  the Polonaise in A flat. Magg. Op. 53 \"Heroique\" from 1842, with it's extraordinary central section.  A recording that allows you to rediscover musical jewels, entrusted to the wise mastery of Paolo Restani.","brand":"Stradivarius","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48898481324312,"sku":"8011570372192","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4353110-3202028.jpg?v=1777497030","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/verdi-liszt-wagner-chopin-paolo-restani","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
