Peter Breiner's "Aria" is a captivating collection of operatic masterpieces, meticulously arranged for piano and set for release on September 13, 2024, under Blue Cloud Music. This album is a testament to Breiner's exceptional skill in reimagining some of the most beloved arias from the operatic repertoire, transforming them into solo piano works that retain their original drama and passion.
Spanning a diverse range of composers and styles, "Aria" features iconic pieces from Puccini's "La bohème" and "Tosca," Verdi's "Rigoletto" and "La traviata," Mozart's "Don Giovanni" and "Le nozze di Figaro," and many more.

With a total runtime of 1 hour and 16 minutes, the album offers a comprehensive journey through the world of opera, highlighting both well-known favorites and lesser-known gems. From the haunting beauty of "Ombra mai fu" from Handel's "Serse" to the playful charm of "Brüderlein, Brüderlein und Schwesterlein" from Strauss's "Die Fledermaus," Breiner's arrangements are both technically impressive and deeply moving.
