NOTES ( by Leopoldo Armellini, director of the C.Pollini Conservatory )

The decision to perform Mahler's Symphony No. 1, "Titan," was difficult, but not excessively so. Certainly, the desire to tackle a piece from the great symphonic repertoire—well-known, musically complex, and technically challenging—prevailed. The risk of appearing both presumptuous and inadequate was dangerously looming. But be that as it may, temerity prevailed, and it was right that it should be so, even from a purely educational perspective. Performing "Titan" significantly raised the bar for the students called upon to compose a 100-piece symphony orchestra. However, had the performance been even adequate, it would have represented a milestone for the young orchestra members, ideally establishing a before and after "Titan." So, starting from the end, I'll never forget the students' eyes after the concert: 50 incredibly tense minutes, from start to finish, never once slacking in concentration, not even for a second indulging in self-congratulatory reflections after having mastered a difficult passage. None of this occurred, and the students noticed, because from their expressions, you could see that musically, and perhaps even humanly, they had made a leap. It was as if at that point nothing could be impossible for them, considering the starting point of the first rehearsals, those for the orchestral sections.
I believe that a good portion of the orchestra believed that Il Titano would not actually be performed, that after the first rehearsals, the Orchestral Rehearsal Teacher, Giuliano Medeossi, would have said: "Well, guys, let's go back to Viennese classicism, it's better!" And yet, day after day, bar after bar, the point of no return was reached, when the common realization that "it can be done!" It can't be said to have been easy; it was very complicated, especially because, since the performers were students (often even high school or university students), it was impossible to require everyone to be present simultaneously on every day of rehearsals. In this, the Teacher was a true magician, or rather, an alchemist: with what he had at his disposal, day after day, he built a sonic cathedral of incredible beauty.
The performance was a source of intense emotion. From the stalls, at times, you could clearly hear the audience breathing with the orchestra, and the level of empathy, thanks also to the splendor of the music, was such that many spectators found themselves in tears at the end of the performance. The CD of "The Titan" performed by the Padua Conservatory Symphony Orchestra is not for listeners who demand Euclidean perfection. To those, I recommend purchasing a studio-recorded version, with hundreds of cuts and inserts. This is a live performance and is clearly audible, including the dragging of a chair by a performer, which curiously sounds like the off-beat attack of a horn. However, since the person telling you this story is a veteran orchestral musician who has endured many battles, I can assure you that the dynamics (piano-forte excursion), the colors, the timbre, and the overall energy expressed by the orchestra are absolutely captivating and moving. The inaccuracies (admittedly few) are contained and absorbed by an overall context of intense involvement and emotion. Furthermore, for anyone who wants to check, you can listen to less-than-perfect performances by renowned orchestras on YouTube. So, this album has a purpose. First, to nurture a hundred extraordinary young people, and second, to allow a wider audience to experience the unforgettable emotion of an evening—that of March 25, 2018—which will remain in the hearts and memories of all those who attended the "C. Pollini" Auditorium in Padua.

Soft...but fluffy and tall
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I've only had these pillows for about a week. They are a great quality pillow. The cover is soft and seems well made. My only complaint is that they are VERY full pillows. If you're tall with broader shoulders, you'll probably love them. If you're shorter with a smaller frame you will probably feel like your head is too high and your neck at a weird angle (my problem). There seemed to be mixed reviews about softness....I would consider these a nice medium pillow. Soft filling but firm enough that your head doesn't sink to the bed. Definitely NOT a down-like pillow, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you.

Soft, fluffy and surprisingly comfortable
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I really liked these pillows. I tried to show different things in my photos because I wanted people to see the details: the design, how fluffy they are, and how full and thick they actually look. They are so full that the pillowcase even looks tight once you put it on, which I actually loved because they look luxurious and well-filled. At first glance they look very thick and high, but once you lay down they feel soft and fluffy instead of hard. They adjust comfortably and feel very cozy whether you’re sleeping, relaxing, or even reading before bed. I think they offer a really good balance because they feel supportive without being stiff. Of course, pillow preference is very personal—some people like lower pillows and others like higher ones—but for someone who likes fuller pillows that are still soft and comfortable, these are great. They are spacious, cozy, and feel like a very good purchase overall. I honestly don’t have any complaints so far. Definitely happy with them.

Great quality pillows. Very difficult wrapping.
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
The Pillows are the real deal. Very fluffy but with good support. I was surprised by the weight of the box they came in, pretty heavy so you know there’s good quality pillows inside. The one negative is that the pillows are packed in very very tight plastic because they come compressed. But the thing is, it’s really a chore to open them. You have to be careful not to cut through the plastic to the material, but the plastic is put on so incredibly tight that it’s even hard to get your finger underneath. But I found a way to open them. Near the top, insert A very flat metal ruler as far in as you could get it. Then cut through the plastic that’s above the metal ruler. That prevents a sharp tool from damaging the pillows. As you get through the plastic above the ruler, keep pushing the ruler further down into the package. Believe me, this simplifies what could be a very difficult unpacking. I am very surprised that the company that makes them does not insert the type of opener that you find on boxes you receive in the mail or even packages that you get from the grocery store where you just pull a tab and that opens the package. These are really good pillows, but you must be very careful about using a sharp object when opening the box and when trying to cut through the plastic. I am a strong man and have the tools needed, a very flat metal ruler, and a box cutter, knife, or razor. Good luck. !!

Comfy, supportive pillow.
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
The 2 queen sized pillows fluffed right out of the package. Very soft to the touch like laying your head in a marshmallow, nice support, and so comfortable. My neck did not hurt and I rested good. I usually use a My Pillow but these are just as nice.
