Beautiful lullabies by Pietro Pittari: Review

Pietro Pittari is a classical pianist from Conegliano, Italy. His instrumental prowess is subtle melodic conversations worth hearing over and over. In “Beautiful lullabies” an abundance of tracks co-exist in a dreamy musical fashion. Folks, now’s the time more than ever to sink ourselves in the charming essence of classical music. I’d be more than welcome to, as the healing aura of this genre, especially Pietro’s playstyle, is a valuable experience to discover.

“It’s a Small World” was originally composed by veteran artists the Sherman Brothers and colorfully depicted in Walt Disney’s tune. To my surprise hearing this nostalgic tune delightfully recreated by Pietro ignited my inner child and led me down a rabbit hole pertaining to yesteryear. There’s a delicate tone in the musician’s style of play, each note feels integral to the next, and boy is it a joy to hear! Moving on to more deep tracks such as “New World Lullaby” made all my worries fade away. This time around, the tone has a lot more space in between, and the melancholic melody is simply marvelous to witness. Immediately after “Goldberg’s Lullaby” followed, delving in deep with a bit of playfulness within the tune’s structure was pleasant to hear.

So far, all these collections of songs take me back to the days of my youth. My emotions are quite heavy right now, and it makes me value the lives we all share in this lifetime. As a wee child “Rock-a-bye Baby” was the pinnacle of lullabies, but hearing Pietro’s rendition struck a chord, and a resonant one at that too!
