Vicino ma lontano

Very well orchestrated. Very high level of vocal performances!

Lovely composition. The voices communicate with each other so flawlessly. Great production as well. It sounds super clean yet organic. Really good work all round. Great job!

What a beautiful and sweet piece, it captivates me and makes me feel at the center of a love story, I really enjoy the piano with personality, it seems to me that it is the piano that tells the story and it is as if the singers were dancers around the instruments, great musical idea and a powerful song that excites and moves you, congratulations! It's now part of our programming on Radio Mexiquense.

‘Vicino ma lontano’ ist ein atemberaubendes und berührendes klassisches Werk, welches in Form einer Kollaboration zwischen den Künstlern Stefan Meylaers, Ilya Rimar und Ernestina Jošt aus verschiedenen Ländern im europäischen Raum entstanden ist. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein äußerst liebliches und doch sehr lebendiges Piano und Streicher Stück, welches nicht nur mit sowohl italienischen als auch englischen Lyrics überzeugt, sondern auch mit einem wunderschönen Duett aus weiblicher und männlicher Stimme. Die Melodien, die dabei zum Vorschein kommen enthüllen sowohl etwas Träumerisches und Verwunschenes als auch Melancholisches und Sentimentales. 'Vicino ma lontano’ positioniert sich dabei stilistisch eindeutig im klassischen Genre, wobei ich auch dezente Einflüsse aus moderneren Pop Balladen wahrnehmen konnte. Besonders gut gefällt mir auch das stetig wachsende Arrangement, wobei vor allem der finale Part eine einzigartige Mehrstimmigkeit mit unglaublich viel Gefühl hervorbringt.

The lyrics are beautifully sung and come in at just the right moments, and the vocals fit the style and music perfectly!

It is evident that you possess an innate understanding of the ebb and flow of music, as the dynamics and pacing are executed with exquisite precision.

Really amazing voices, especially how they work together. They really stand out and give this song an emotional pattern, that sticks. It's also a lovely composition, that fits perfectly to the modern classical music.

Vicino ma lontano is simply brilliant! I love how you've composed a piece that is both peaceful but has an element of climatic drama too. You have captured a beautiful sound and the music expresses much emotion and feel without ever going overboard. I once went to a drum clinic and the percussionist was discussing the most important aspect of any performance, that being 'feel'. Vicino ma lontano has that in abundance. From the piano to the delicate strings and excellent vocal performances you have captured a great sound with much feel. As a side note the male vocalist's timbre reminds me of a good friend of mine Mario Frangoulis, like your vocalist he has a great range and has performed many duets. The mix of the duet is very good and perfectly balanced at the point of crescendo. Vicino ma lontano is fantastica!
