Virginio Aiello – Pigalle (Spotify)
“Sometimes the shadow of the night scares us with its phantoms, or surrounds us from all sides, runs throughout the body with a chilling effect and follows in our way home. The neoclassical composition -Pigalle- encloses the most warm feelings, immersing in a deep, hypnotizing state.”
“Не всегда тени в ночи пугают своими фантомами, иногда они окружают со всех сторон, пробегают по всему телу приятной прохладой и сопровождают до самого дома. Неоклассическая композиция -Pigalle- навевает самые тёплые чувства, погружая в глубокое, гипнотизирующее состояние.”

“Pigalle” is a calm gentle piano waltz in the neoclassical style. It is inspired by Paris at night, a melancholy piece that evokes memories of a bygone time.
