Enzo Pietropaoli - contrabbsso
Julian Mazzariello - piano
Alessadnro Paternesi - batteria
A crescendo of pieces that testify to some of the many musical passions of a lifetime: from John Lennon to Bob Dylan, from Cole Porter to Peter Gabriel, from Neil Young to Brian Wilson, all interspersed with some original compositions by Pietropaoli.
"The Princess" is the metaphor of the realization of a dream pursued with determination.
Pietropaoli's love for the "piano trio" is expressed in the miracle of a serious but light appearance, something that is old but at the same time new, a collocation outside of time and it is not by chance that this work bears the same name as this piece.
Enzo Pietropaoli on double bass is accompanied by two excellent musicians: Julian Oliver Mazzariello on piano and Alessandro Paternesi on drums, who have helped to create a dense, deep and at the same time light climate.
The master for the SACD was realized by transferring the analog master recorded with the Studer J37 (1950) 2 tracks, 1" 15ips to Pyramix with dCS A/D and D/A converters.
The mastering was done by Giulio Cesare Ricci with the Signoricci system, which is completely analog and tube-based.
The sound is natural with a real sound.
