Music without memories is not possible, pianist Sophie Pacini confirms, and
Rimembranza is the title she has chosen for her 6th solo album. Here the music
is about hope and doubt, pain and liberation, bitter loss and especially memory.
Mozarts mother died in Paris shortly before writing his sonata. His twelve
variations on the French folk song Ah, vous dirai-je, Maman! thus already bear
the seed of the Sonata in A minor. They are Mozarts rimembranza addressed to
himself, she suggests. With their plaintive title that harks back to the past,
these variations open the curtain on Sophie Pacinis album. Before it falls
again, we hear.

Schuberts two Impromptus Op. 90: Sounding like fragments from his sonatas, they
strike our memory like two bittersweet rimembranzas from the past, she muses.
The last act is introduced by Schuberts Ständchen on a love poem by Ludwig
Rellstab. The subject of love closes it as well
album off; from the movie “Cinema Paradiso” we hear the love theme
composed by the recently deceased Ennio Morricone and his son Andrea - a tribute
to Sophie Pacinis second homeland, Italy.
