Barcelona-based Bruno Sanfilippo is a classically trained and electronic musician, composer and pianist. He has been exploring the borders of minimal piano concepts and electroacoustic music for more than 20 years. His CD series Piano Textures sets him in a tradition of artists such as Harold Budd and Brian Eno, combining slow piano tunes with electronic soundscapes.

Now with ClarOscuro he makes his step as a contemporary classical artist by presenting his first composition work for piano trio. Most of the nine tracks on the album feature Sanfilippo along with the collaboration of the spanish musicians Manuel del Fresno on cello and Pere Bardagi on violin, while some of the tracks still let the sensitive piano playing stands on its own. With the fragility and beauty of some Arvo Pärt compositions and a high cinematic touch, ClarOscuro brings the perfect soundtrack for an imaginary movie.

Norman Records wrote:
"Goodness me. I should have put this on last night, It's utterly gorgeous. I'll be straight with you and admit I know relatively little about classical music other than enjoying many of the obvious contemporary composers. I love the more sombre stuff be it the older boys such as Gorecki and Arvo Pärt or the gradually-getting-more-legendary Max Richter and the beautiful strains of my favourite Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir. Barcelona's Bruno Sanfilippo also has that rare gift for composing hugely emotive and highly personal music from tender, melancholic peals of piano, both ponderous and also joyous plus a highly acute awareness of the power of acoustic resonance. His playing has a grace, purity and tenderness I've not heard in some time. Neither chocolate box whimsical nor overwrought, there is a sincere and powerfully talented master at work here. Obviously it's the tracks burnished with cello and violin that strike most strongly. This truly is profoundly mesmerising and powerfully understated music, supremely high in stately prowess and quality as regards this timeless genre. Sad music to induce damp eyes and help mend dried-out hearts, I'm grateful to our Clinton for saving this beauty for me. No more words. Let 'ClarOscuro' work its magic on you. Comes with lovely postcard, can't see these around for too long once word gets around. No more words needed other than nine spacious tracks that can only be described as "achingly beautiful"

Bruno Sanfilippo is a contemporary classically trained artist and composer. His focus alternates between the exploration of minimalist piano concepts and electroacoustic music. He is obsessed with the search for new and unique qualities in music - the amazing, the magical and the deep. In dreams, there's no imagined thing that's too absurd, too strange, and Bruno Sanfilippo's music comes from that inexhaustible and shameless source. His music has been compared to Max Richter, Arvo Pärt, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ludovico Einaudi and many more in the area of contemporary classical artists.
