Nessun Dorma - Fazioli
Three hundred years ago, the genius Italians invented the piano. In search of the perfect tone, Paulo Fazioli determined to create a piano with no equal. He bestows the gift of true beauty on every performer who plays one of his pianos, and every listener who hears its tones, bringing them an unprecedented pleasure in performance.
The search for a perfect complement of sound and art took the mural's creator on a long journey. Over the course of July, as the sun burned like fire, he visited every part of Europe in search of a piano named Nessun Dorma. He had left Turandot behind, in the country of her birth, but feared that she would be lonely without the accompaniment of music worthy of her. So he had come to Italy – which had given birth to the piano 300 years before, to the canals of Venice – where the most beautiful music of Turandot had been made, to find a piano that might sing to the princess in her great atrium. At last he found a Fazioli – a piano with the world's most glorious tones.
Having once retained the long-wandering 'Turandot', it seemed unfit that she should be lonely, and over the course of July, as the sun burned like fire, I visited every part of Europe in search of a piano named Nessun Dorma. In Italy, the birthplace of the piano, in the water city of Venice, where the most beautiful music of Turandot had been made, I found 'him', who might always accompany the princess in her atrium. I had found Fazioli – a piano with the world's most glorious tones.
The Fazioli is born with romamtic grace, it tones are most glorious, inspiring, colourful, and imaginations.
This piano, specially designed and manufactured to match the mural Nessun Dorma, was conceived of by Mr. Fazioli after seeing the mural and observing the interior of the atrium. His magnanimous spirit is infused with a meticulous attention to detail, and the result is a miracle of craftsmanship, a perfect match to the mural.
The exterior of Nessun Dorma is graceful beyond compare, its sound mellow and powerful, expressing an unmatched spirit of heroism.
It is the largest performance piano in the world at ten feet and two inches. The selection of materials, construction process and tuning are all done purely by hand. The wood used is rare dragon spruce of over 150 years in age, the exact type of wood used in Stradivarius violins, possessing a rare natural resonance. The piano is constructed with an untraditional double frame, allowing the sounding board to resonated more evenly and bringing the sound closer to perfection. Most pianos only have three pedals, but the Fazioli has a fourth, capable of softening the tone without affecting the original timbre.
