Music, Fantasy and Freedom:
\nFAZIOLI wish
\nfor 2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The pianist and composer Iiro Rantala<\/strong> is this year\u2019s spokesman for FAZIOLI\u2019s Christmas and New Year wishes. This is why, this year\u2019s FAZIOLI’s wish is for <\/strong>a 2019<\/strong> of Music, Fantasy and Freedom.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nThe famous and provocative Finnish Artist could only go off the beaten track by choosing his piece \u201cFreedom\u201d that foresees the preparation of his own F212 with a towel lying on the strings to obtain a dampened sound and a \u201cpizzicato\u201d effect.
\nEven more than this unusual sound effect, it is the harmonies used to cite two famous Christmas motives, which suggest that, despite the appearances, he does not indulge in light-heartedness.
\nIndeed, the veiled melancholy that accompanies the video footage of the snowy landscapes surrounding Helsinki expresses a serious concern for the current environmental situation connected to global warming and, in a broad sense, for all the injustices that afflict humanity. The solution lies in creativity and in the courage of humankind, symbolized by Rantala\u2019s dive into cold water.<\/p>\n
