We connect precious memories with different pictures, scents and, of course, with certain music. The latter is able to conjure up situations from the past and bring it to our mind’s eye in a special way. Which personal memories and images the composer Luigi di Ghisallo remembered remains hidden to us. Without a doubt, however, he processes the thoughts of a particularly beautiful time with his SONG FOR THE MEMORY. The quietly flowing music is full of tenderness and grace, combined with a small pinch of nostalgia.
