“Let’s Listen” Together – Preview of the Album “Tu Che Mi Puoi Capire”

Don’t miss this exclusive event: join us on Sunday, April 16th at 11:00 AM at Teatro Basilica in Rome, located at Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano 10, for a special preview of Tony Carnevale’s new unreleased work for Soundtrack Records. This unique project, wholly composed by the author, will be released on vinyl with a complimentary CD included in the package to meet all listening preferences. In addition to various orchestral pieces, it features a solo piano sonata and a tribute to Francesco Di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese from Banco: a symphonic version of their iconic track “La vita che grida,” arranged as a mini-suite for solo cello, piano, orchestra, and band. This is a rare opportunity to experience music differently, more emotionally. Several special guests, directly and indirectly connected to the author and his work, will attend.

Like many of his previous albums, this new work is characterized by a diverse use of musical codes and formal freedom. The album is subtitled Images for Piano and Orchestra, exploring the idea of sound as an “internal image” of the human being, which ties into the author’s extensive research, published in books such as Oltre le note (Beyond the Notes), which also features one of the tracks from this new album.

Inspired by the experience of the 1970s, when fans would line up to buy a new vinyl record and gather at someone’s home with the best stereo to “listen together,” this event seeks to recreate that communal listening experience. This “listening together” concept, a key influence on the author, was integral to the foundation of the Laboratori di Musica Originale, which SIAE and IMAIE have supported for 23 years

This idea is also linked, more profoundly, to an approach to music that is more connected to listening, in a historical moment in which vision tends to prevail, due to the priority that performance activity has acquired to the detriment of the profound sense of sounds: all too often people go to ‘see’ a concert, rather than to ‘hear’ it, in the deepest sense of the term.

It also reflects a deeper approach to music that emphasizes listening in an era where visual experiences often overshadow the profound meanings behind sound. In a world where many attend concerts to “see” rather than “hear,” we invite you to join the author in exploring the emotional and personal significance of his music, enriched by his stories, memories, and the emotional truth behind every sound.
