Scarlatti Alla Scarlatti — A Listening Experience
This video is not a technical review.
It’s a reflection on a moment when listening stopped being analytical and became something more present and immersive.
While spending time with Scarlatti Alla Scarlatti by organist Livia Mazzanti, there was a point where the sound, the space, and the music aligned so completely that evaluation fell away. I wasn’t thinking about the recording anymore — I was simply there with it.
This video explores that experience: what it feels like when a record asks only for attention, and rewards it fully.

My Top Vinyl Releases of 2025 | The Records That Truly Impressed
2025 was an exceptional year for vinyl releases. While I couldn’t get to every notable pressing, these are the records that made the biggest impression on me—the ones I kept returning to, the ones that truly stood out sonically, musically, and in terms of presentation.
In this year-end recap, I count down my Top 10 vinyl records of 2025 (with a few bonus picks—because narrowing it down was impossible). Every album featured here has already received a full, dedicated video review on the channel, all of which are conveniently collected into a single playlist linked below.
You’ll also find links to several in-depth written reviews published on Audiophilia, where I was able to explore mastering choices, sourcing, and packaging in greater detail.
This video isn’t about ranking for the sake of ranking—it’s a celebration of some of the best vinyl releases to hit my turntable this year, and a thank-you to the labels, engineers, and listeners who continue to make this format so rewarding.

Inside My Space 24: Alessandro Bianchini on Vibraphone, Jazz & Birdbox Records
In this in-depth interview, I’m joined by Alessandro Bianchini, Italian vibraphonist and marimba player, and a recording artist for Birdbox Records—a small Italian label devoted entirely to all-analog recording.
Alessandro’s album My Space 24 was recently included in Audiophilia’s Recordings of the Year, and we begin by discussing what that recognition means to him as an artist. From there, we explore his musical journey in detail: classical training, discovering jazz, learning composition, and the influences that shape his sound.
We also dive deep into:
• The Italian jazz scene
• His relationship with Lorenzo Vela and Birdbox Records
• Why analog recording is so important to his vision
• The musical and conceptual differences between 10/5 and My Space 24
• Future recording plans and upcoming performances in Europe and the U.S.
If you’re interested in modern jazz, vibraphone and marimba, or how contemporary musicians are still making true all-analog records, this conversation offers a rare inside look.
🎶 Alessandro Bianchini’s music is available via Birdbox Records in Europe and Bellisariosonic in the US
