The musician himself presents his work with these words:
«White Christmas it’s not just a classic; it is an emotion that, every year, comes back to knock on our hearts.
In this transcription of mine, I chose the intimacy of the string orchestra, the singing of the cello and the sweetness of the piano, so that the music could become a real sonic embrace.
I wanted these sounds to resonate warm and welcoming, to resonate with family, that refuge of affection that defines us.
The cello sings of the love that does not change, while the strings weave the comforting blanket of memory.
It is a heartfelt tribute to the inestimable value of traditions, an emotional treasure, a jewel of the spirit and soul that we must honor and pass on.
I hope this music warms you, leading the listener to rediscover the simple and profound joy of those essential values that are the true light of Christmas.”
Mix and Master: Domenico Scricchiola.
