Reviews of Shadows
Review by music won't save you:
The evolutionary temperament that is increasingly common to the artists of intersections between neoclassical and contemporary languages finds a new and extensive manifestation in the fifth album of the pianist Andrea Carri, realized side by side with his colleague Francesco Camminati, who has done a decisive contribution in terms of rhythm and synt to the ten tracks of "Shadows" .

Review by ritrattidinote.it:
It grows in the Italian Pianistik. There are many young pianists who decide to look
into this world, that has always been linked to the great names of classical music, and who would like to be able to tell
their own opinions in a new form. One of them is Andrea Carri, whom we already know from the review of his album "Chronos"
and now we will discuss his new album "Shadows".

Reviews of Chronos
Review by Headphonaught.co.uk:
To say I am enamoured with the music of Andrea Carri would be an understatement ...
I am utterly besotted with his particular blend of melodic solo piano & neoclassical expression.
I've had his new albums "Chronos" - for a wee while now & am captivated by the ease in which Carri
presents a melody.

Review by La Guarida Musical (Spanish):
El joven pianista y compositor italiano Andrea Carri (Montecchio-Emilia) nos presenta su
nuevo álbum “Chronos”; Una reflexión musicada sobre el tiempo y su idiosincrasia, sobre
el devenir de la vida y cual es nuestro papel en este ir y venir de minutos que nos abocan
inexorablemente a un final o, según las creencias de cada uno, a un final terrenal que
tan sólo es el principio de una eternidad.

Review by Anna Maria Pia Pettolino
Small notes of a shy Piano Fortes arise from nowhere...
they stay...
they wait...
TIME FLIES, Time flies.
A sonorous atmosphere is surrounding me...
Die Reise in der Zeit hat begonnen.

Review by IndiePerCui
Dilated times, hourglasses stopped by time and by a nature that allows
to sprout even the most thinnest layer of seeds that is left to rest in the
sun of a new day, almost like a mystical contemplation that fills the heart of
silences that words kills.

Review by Caleidoscop (Dutch)
Ik heb geen idee wie de aanstichter is van de heropleving van de toegepaste pianomuziek,
maar het is wel opvallend dat sinds Nlis Frahm, Max Richter, Dustin O’Halloran en
dergelijke ten tonele verschijnt er vele volgelingen opduiken.

Review by ATTN:Magazine
They’re not melodies as such, but daisy chains of alternation and arpeggiation strung through the air,
or descending staircases into deeper states of thought.

Review by "music won't save you"
The direct line, that combines the Irish label Psychonavigation with the Italian artists, particularly
with the artists from the field of minimalist Neoclassicism, does not stop. The same ideal
production process route that a few months ago has trod Bruno Bavota is now being followed by
Andrea Carri, twenty-four old pianist from Emilia Romagna who already has considerable
experiences, he started to play at a very young age and released already three albums before his
newest work "Chronos".

Review by The CD Critic
Italian Pianist & Composer Andrea Carri presents his latest solo-album effort titled ‘Chronos’. Carri’s
latest album showcases more of the classically-styled music we’ve seen before, whilst also offering a few
little new creative ideas here and there. There’s a beauty to the music being presented by Carri, which at
times includes various other instruments to bring life and character, without actually degrading the music to any degree.

Review by mMusic (Spanish)
Excelente disco... Andrea Carri tuvo la deferencia de compartir su música con
mMusic... en concreto su último trabajo "Chronos", publicado muy recientemente -
el pasado 15 de Septiembre-; cuarto largo de su carrera en el que el tema del tiempo
es el concepto del disco y se hace presente en cada una de las notas de su excelente piano.

Review by Leonard's Lair Music Reviews
It’s been a productive period for Italian piano/ambient composers, with Luca Ciut
and Bruno Bavota both impressing with their recent albums. Andrea Carri is a labelmate
of Bavota and one who draws on the emotions of both himself and his listeners via some
lovely compositions.

Reviews of Metamorfosi
Review by Milana Zilnik & Artyom Tchebotaryov for The Piano Cloud:
Andrea Carri was among the first pianists I met on SoundCloud. Though just 24 years old,
Andrea has released four full albums as well as a few singles. He has performed solo and
with different bands. Even more impressively, his compositions have appeared on TV and
in short films.

Review by "Suoni & Immagini":
A fantastic world of soft colors and pastel shades in which a tree is hugging the pianoforte
and becomes part of it, sideways runs a brook that is caressing the earth.
We perceive notes that are carried by a gentle breeze and accompany one along the distance,
giving an idea of the way that has already started, but where still everything is to discover.

Review by Mimmo D'Ippolito for Esoundblog:
Andrea Carri is a young and promising pianist and composer from Emilia Romagna, who is also very
active regarding his live performances . His genre is an excellent gentle, minimalist New Age
music, the melodic sections remind partly of the American school.

Review by IndiePerCui
Andrea Carri fascinates for the approach, a forgotten piano in the bush as background for scenes of
life to show a perfect partnership between man and nature; walking the paths and swollen rivers of
memory, gives emotions to those who know how to listen and then rework in everyday story.

Review by Sonofmarketing
Yesterday we were talking about Fabrizio Paterlini and of the modern approach to the Neoclassical
(whose leading exponents at the international level, from this point of view, are Olafur Arnalds and
Nils Frahm). Here is a young pianist from Emilia Romagna, very talented, who published already
his third album, that seems to go beyond the traditional approach.

Review by Beach Sloth
Andrea Carri’s ‘Metamorfosi’ has love for its surroundings. Environmental sounds are used for the benefit
of the piano. The playing appears to work off of the environment that it has been placed in going for quiet
for the more subdued locations and gentler for those pieces set entirely in nature.

Reviews of Partire
Review by Alone Music (May 2011)
Andrea Carri is an 21 years old pianist and composer. He was born in Campegine ( Reggio
Emilia). The disk that mainly contains New Age music, describes the journey of life from each of us, you
make new experiences and face new adventures, but there are also mischances.

Review by Suoni & Immagini
Tenacity and willpower are characteristics that are not often to be found, particularly not in the young people
from nowadays, who launch into new activities with lots of enthusiasm, just to lose their interest again fairly
quickly, especially in moments, where the first difficulties appear.
