I wanted to unite the music with a common denominator under the title “Forte Fortissimo”: strong emotions, contradictions, passions, greatness, exaggeration, dynamism, virility..Songs that go directly there, straight to your soul, pure adrenaline that will charge you in unison with the forces of nature. A crescendo of energy that only great music can give us. I recorded each song in a different place: an ancient palace, a church, a cathedral, a chapel, a nineteenth-century theatre, a music room, another music room, another theatre and so on. Many historical sites, different acoustical environments, lots of emotions. [Giulio Cesare Ricci]
