TAROZZI, SILVIA - LUCCIOLE (CD)

Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi's luminous follow-up to the intimate re ections of Mi specchio e ri etto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d'amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely. The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble - chosen for its popular, celebratory, spiritual sound - and closes with the Piccolo Coro Angelico, the children's choir she has worked with for over fteen years and calls "my best school of composition and a constant gym of hope." Between these bookends, Tarozzi's songs trace life's transitions with a rare tenderness: childhood into adolescence, health into fragility, presence into absence. The strings, voices, and melodic contours that de ne Mi specchio e ri etto reappear here with new warmth and depth. Produced by Tarozzi in close collaboration with Marta Salogni, who engineered and mixed the album, Lucciole carries a clarity, intimacy, and sonic generosity that re ect their shared journey through the recording process. At its heart, Lucciole is an album about small lights carried through moments of transition - an invitation to listen closely to the places where life changes, and to the people, living and remembered, who illuminate the way.
