Федерико АльбанезеИтальянский композитор Федерико Альбанезе родился в 1982 году в Милане, но он вовсе не «типичный молодой итальянский неоклассик», а потому сам предлагает верное определение – современная академическая музыка. Впрочем, целиком применить этот термин можно лишь к двум сольным альбомам композитора, которые выходили в середине 2010-х. «Волшебно!», «Чистое золото», «Одна из самых навязчиво красивых записей, которые вы только слышали» – критики не скупятся на комплименты. К 35 годам Федерико вырос в серьезного, авторитетного композитора, которого ожидало большое будущее. В своей музыке он искусно совмещает классическую музыку, поп-гармонии и психоделию. Федерико Альбанезе говорит, что секрет успеха его сольных альбомов скрыт в долгом поиске, через который он пришел к академической музыке. Композитор перепробовал себя во многих жанрах: играл в рок-группах, сочинял камерный инди-поп и классический кроссовер в рамках проекта La Blanche Alchemie с Джессикой Эйнауди, работал в кино, рекламе и даже на телевидении. Сегодня итальянец симпатизирует минимализму, неоклассике и современному джазу. https://www.last.fm/ru/music/Federico+Albanese/+wiki

Federico AlbaneseFederico Albanese is a composer born in Milan, Italy in 1982. His musical versatility is a natural gift that pushes him to explore music in all its facets. Albanese’s compositions are airy and cinematic, blending classical music, pop and psychedelia. He started studying piano and clarinet as a child before becoming fascinated by rock music performing in several bands. Influenced by black music, folk, electronic, modern and contemporary classical music his skills as a composer soon emerged, He worked for 5 years as prop man in several film sets. This experience made him understand the power of the connection between music and images and helped him to develop his personal musical path. In 2007 he met singer and songwriter Jessica Einaudi and together they founded the avant-garde duo “La Blanche Alchimie”. Composing songs with Jessica he rediscovered his love for the piano, which from that moment on, became his main instrument. They released 2 albums and gained national and international critical attention, performing around Europe, Russia and USA. Their sound has been described as melancholic and haunting, intermingling mellow acoustics and rock-infused dreamscapes.The first omonymous album was released in Italy in 2009 on Ponderosa/Edel. The second album “Galactic Boredom” was released in Italy in 2011 on Ponderosa/Universal and in Germany in 2012 on Q-rious/Edel. In september 2012 the band has been nominated by “Preis der deutschenShallplattenkritik” in the category of best independent album. In 2010 he scored the soundtrack of the short film “Pick up” by Manyhands - a collective of young italian directors - broadcasted by one the most important italian television channels (SKY). In 2012 he scored the soundtrack of documentary “Fabulae Romane” filmed by Matteo Cherubino, a work that documents the first of a structured set of activities of Zegnart - a project commissioned by Ermenegildo Zegna dedicated to the art of our time - that took place at MaXXI - National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome.

Info for 'The Blue Hour'Berlin based, piano poet Federico Albanese took inspiration from this transitional state for chamber-music miniatures that withdraw, explore, yet assert their laconic melodies all the more decisively. The emotions to which Albanese has given expression in his thirteen compositions have been articulated with well-considered gestures. Equally well-considered is the choice of instruments that Federico Albanese deploys on 'The Blue Hour'. Piano and synthesizers are joined by a cello, magnified by over-dubbing and sound effects into a little chamber orchestra, which swells the acoustics while checking the dominance of a clear solo voice. Albanese esteems the Gesamtklang, the overall sound image, with its mixture of compositional precision and dreamlike fluidity. For this reason, the pieces are recorded from start to finish on analogue equipment, further enhancing the warmth of their sound. In 'Céline' we hear a discreet beat, scarcely perceptible, a gentle pulse that lends structure without jeopardizing the charm of 'The Blue Hour'. 'There is a particular moment when opposites are very close, almost touching one another. When there is still light but not quite darkness. A world in between, where all things are uncertain, vague, floating into shade. We can follow or observe, unsure where this would lead - into darkness or light; into the shadow of memories and dreams. A reflection of our desires and hopes, ready to be seen or unseen. It can be a sudden glimpse, with ideas turning into shapes, not yet complete. You can see things, but are unsure what they are. It is an unrevealed choice. A place to recover and heal, lulled by the security of the warm shadow of an ancient tree upon a hill.' https://www.highresaudio.com/en/album/view/hr7wzr/federico-albanese-the-blue-hour
