Liszt Consolation no. 3 performed on Liszt's 1862 Bechstein Piano

In loving gratitude to
Sandro Russo


Known Be This Awakened Heart

The coolness of morning dew upon leaf
The gentle ripple of moving waters
The caress of soft winds
The feel of shimmering veils in sounds I hear
The embrace of each piano key
And known be this awakened heart.

Liszt: Consolation No.3 in D flat major

Balakirev Islamey performed 'live' by pianist Sandro Russo

Sandro Plays...

one feels
one perceives
one is moved
by the sounding passions
by the lilting hues
by sensibilities awakened
it is Sandro who plays
who defines mood and emotion
the feel of Presence
in full expression
in full artistry
piano piano
a soaring rapture
it is Sandro who plays
BRAVO dear Sandro
BRAVO.

Sandro Russo ~ Scriabin Etude op. 8 no. 12

In Tribute
Sandro Plays

Sensibilities and passion in sounding splendor
To the will of beauty his heart to surrender
Upon piano keys black and white
Heard be the call of the questing light
Sandro plays, artistry in rapture sublime
The music, the music, and known be the divine.

Sandro Plays

Heard within the Presence of Self
The resounding of piano and passion
Hands and fingers move in lilting grace
Each note calls to be known
To be this moment opulent
A sea of silence
Enfolded in the embracing waves
Of sound majestic
Upon piano keys a soul to place
Sandro plays
And known be the eternal
The music, the music.

Firebird, the flame the flight
Fills this chamber this night

Fields, waves and firmament
Moods, desire and contentment.
