Silvia Tarozzi - Lucciole NEW Vinyl

Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi's luminous follow-up to the intimate reflections of Mi specchio e rifletto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d'amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely.

The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble-chosen for it's popular, celebratory, spiritual sound-and closes with the Piccolo Coro Angelico, the children's choir she has worked with for over fifteen years and calls "my best school of composition and a constant gym of hope." Between these bookends, Tarozzi's songs trace life's transitions with a rare tenderness: childhood into adolescence, health into fragility, presence into absence. Two central songs-her own "Lucciole" and a glowing live-in-studio cover of Milton Nascimento's "River Phoenix"-honor a beloved friend whose life and presence evoke new horizons. "Corallo e perle," inspired by a dream her grandfather had after her grandmother's passing, becomes a gentle, dreamlike meditation on the persistence of love. The strings, voices, and melodic contours that define Mi specchio e rifletto reappear here with new warmth and depth.

Produced by Tarozzi in close collaboration with Marta Salogni, who engineered and mixed the album, Lucciole carries a clarity, intimacy, and sonic generosity that reflect their shared journey through the recording process. At it's heart, Lucciole is an album about small lights carried through moments of transition-an invitation to listen closely to the places where life changes, and to the people, living and remembered, who illuminate the way.
