Each week, PARMA has the pleasure of not only releasing powerful works by our artists, but also seeing the positive impact that these works have on listeners. Read on for a selection of what the press had to say about the latest releases from Navona and Ravello Records.

KASSANDRA

“The elegant composer uses his musical experiences to highlight the role that creativity plays in our lives. This opera is a good example of his aesthetics, of his full creative freedom.”
