Paolo Ricca Releases

New Solo Piano Album

“My Italian Piano Songbook”

Renowned pianist, composer, and arranger Paolo Ricca presents his latest solo piano album, My Italian Piano Songbook, released by Ma.ra.Cash Records and now available worldwide.

This evocative collection features Ricca’s original piano arrangements of iconic pieces from the rich history of Italian music — including beloved songs, film soundtracks, and traditional Neapolitan melodies.

The album also includes acoustic renditions of two original compositions previously performed with the Paolo Ricca Group.

​

Adding to the album’s musical depth, celebrated guitarist John Etheridge (Soft Machine) makes a special guest appearance on two tracks.

​

In 2025, My Italian Piano Songbook won First Prize for Best CD at the prestigious Swiss International Music Competition, solidifying Ricca’s status as a leading voice in contemporary international piano music.
