Description:

Fanny Azzuro Invites YouNight, Dreams, and the World BeyondHypnos, the title of this work, is the god of sleep in Greek mythology. In the world of dreams, from the threshold of sleep to the final breath hovering over the grave, Hypnos watches over us. He guides humans toward peace and remains by their side until the very end of their journey. Pianist Fanny Azzuro is releasing an album that, like Hypnos, offers a birds-eye view of night in its various forms.In the first half of this two-disc program, images of the presence of death, the sorrow of loss, and funeral processions pervade the entire work. In Robert Schumanns compositions, nightmares, anger, and struggle reach their peak, portraying the night as a hopeless, dark world. In the second half, an inner world unfolds in which the night is embraced and a quiet reconciliation is achieved. The program concludes with Respighis *Nocturne*. This
