 Raw Emotion August 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Lucia Micarelli is not a background musician. Her playing deserves an attentive audience even if it is an audience of one. This is the first time I have listened to her playing and found this CD very reflective. She digs deep within herself for each piece and I found myself being stroked and plucked into the same mood of emotions. Some of the pieces are more special than others (most I have never heard before - that's a plus, not a minus) but found 'My Funny Valentine' the most emotional of all. How she managed to bring that sad sound into her playing I can only put down to her absolute involvement with the song. To me 'My Funny Valentine' was of a "lost" love who was still very much living in her (and my) heart. Bravo Miss Micarelli!! I did 'listen' and love the way you 'speak'. I would have loved to have heard more of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' though.

This is one of my favorite CDs in my collection. I saw her play in person, and Live is much, much better then the CD.

I heard Lucia Micarelli during a 2007 Josh Groban concert. Her live solo performance in addition to her backgrounds for Groban were mesmerizing. I purchased this album to see if it was as enjoyable as her live work, and I was not disappointed. Micarelli performs a good mix of classical and pop pieces. My favorite tracks on the album are Smarkland, Meditation, Lady Grinning Soul, Portrait, and Nocturne/Bohemian Rhapsody.

This CD is very well done. I was familiar with old favorites and delighted with new songs. I would like to hear more of the rock songs preformed by her. I think she's got a lot of talent and could possibly do well with the rock songs on a future album.

Lucia has power in her playing. I think that she shouldn't be allowed to play violin this good. Her raw talent is conveyed in every song. She doesn't just stick to classical, as the accompaniment music isn't just strings. I wished she had played a little more in Bohemian Rhapsody. I saw her in concert with Josh Groban and I knew I had to purchase this CD. Lucia is an inspiration and her love for the violin cannot be contained.
