Enzo Pietropaoli - Gratia

Enzo Pietropaoli — Gratia

Hybrid Stereo SACD

"I approached this work fascinated by the simplicity of the Antiphons, by that minimalism that leaves open all the ways of the imagination, an extremely precious contrast, ancient and modern.
Gratia aspires to demonstrate, indeed to confirm, that even the most diverse and distant languages can meet under the sign of a mystique without borders, of a love that can go beyond individual cults." — Enzo Peitropaoli

The album was recorded on November 3, 2020 at the Teatro Amintore Galli in Rimini. The master for SACD was obtained by transferring the original analog master made with the AMPEX ATR 102 (Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351-1965) 2 tracks 1/2" 30ips modified by David Manley on Pyramix using dCS A/D and D/A converters.
The mastering for the SACD was done by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the entirely analog and tube Signoricci system.
