(2004)
This self-titled debut CD is an introduction to Christian's solo piano music.
It was recorded in Rome in one of the city's finest studios in September 2004, just 2 days before the 60 hour performance at 'The Calx Project 2004'.
These 9 tracks convey a deep sense of calm and tranquility - a 'musical' calm that preceded a 60 hour storm of notes.

My first couple of times through the CD inspired more than a few utterances of "Wow!".
I listen to so much piano music in the course of teaching and reviewing that sometimes I think my ear is getting a little jaded.
Then a CD like this comes along and gets me all fired up again!...
This is an amazingly good debut - especially for such a young artist. Christian Calcatelli has such command of his instrument that it is truly an extension of himself.
