Papagena (album)

Overview
As detailed in the booklet, the album represents the inspirations behind the tracks, drawn from the emotions of various places visited by Gian Piero Reverberi: "Papagena" reminds him of his first time listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's The Magic Flute; "Désirée," the name of a young French woman, evokes his first stay in Paris; "Il Balcone di Giulietta" recalls a visit to Verona; "Puerta del Sol" brings back memories of his first trip to Madrid; "La Grotta Azzurra" reflects a short holiday in Capri; "Dopo il concerto" captures his feelings and emotions after listening to a symphony by Johannes Brahms; "Il battistero" depicts the magic and awe he felt before the stained-glass windows of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, made radiant by the sunlight; "Rifugio alpino" portrays the enchantment of a summer night spent in the mountains; "Désir d’amour" represents the crescendo of a passionate love story; "Viale Rossini" recalls a stroll along an avenue after an evening spent with friends; and "Alba sul mare" captures the reflections of light dancing on the sea’s surface, playfully and almost indescribably illuminating a room in Gladsax, Sweden. ==Track listing==
Track listing
All tracks are written by Gian Piero Reverberi and Ivano Pavesi, except where noted.

In the French version the track "Papagena" is renamed as "Vénitienne" and "Désirée" has a different intro. Papagena (International) Vénitienne (France) ==Personnel==
