Piave,Nadia Caffe D Amore CD

Nadia Piave - Italian-Australian raconteur, soprano, teacher, cabaret diva and erstwhile gelato queen - has recorded a strong, heartfelt and smooth album of classic love songs from Italy and France. With her new CD Caffe D'Amore, Sydney singer Nadia Piave takes you on a musical Roman Holiday. In this collection of Italian and French chansons and canzoni, Nadia moves effortlessly from 'caffe romantico' to 'caf? nostalgique'. Caffe d'Amore is a thoughtful collection, rendered impeccably by Nadia's exquisite, rich voice alongside the masterful accordion and guitar of Ross Maio and Gino Pengue. The trio balance the music's innate passion with subtle restraint. All three are gifted musicians with an authentic feel for the repertoire. Nadia Piave has a solid reputation in Sydney as an adventurous, versatile and accurate vocalist with a flair for dynamic presentation. She is also known as an inspiring voice tutor, teaching at the Sydney Conservatorium and at her own studio, and for community choirs and vocal groups. With expertise in renaissance, baroque, classical, folk, jazz, art song and cabaret, Nadia has chosen the Italian and French romantic strand of her repertoire for this album, with a conviction that the dynamic musical partnership she has with Gino and Ross should be captured.
