Solitary Places is Stefano's debut album, out now on all digital platforms. It was recorded at Metropolis Studios in London with the support of the hClub Emerging Creatives programme.
It is a work that blurs the lines between classical tradition, cinematic and electronic to bring contemporary classical music to a new audience.
“I wrote Solitary Places as a statement of hope. I wanted to create something which is beautiful and uplifting as well as intimate. I was inspired by the feeling of being in remote places where it is possible to gain a new hopeful perspective on our reality”.
Stefano Fasce
"While it might not often be possible to convey a narrative without lyrics, it is possible to convey feelings and emotion, something that Stefano Fasce manages to do effortlessly on ‘Human’. "
