In her debut CD, the soprano portrays a day from morning to evening, spanning the centuries. She combines works by Tarquinio Merula from 1638 with Claude Debussy and four works by Lorenzo Romano and Aigerim Seilova from 2019—all world premiere recordings! Dreamy soundscapes and expressive dramaticism, a cappella singing and accompaniment by electronic instruments: in this conceptual album, Pia Davila places herself in the service of the poetic idea, borne by her extraordinary and intense soprano voice.

"Pia Davila's debut CD revolves around the moon and traverses centuries - a concept album in the best sense."

"A fine voice with delicate expressiveness"

Bachtrack.com
"Davila not only ensures pure listening pleasure with a velvety timbre and elegant legato slurs, but also demonstrates a chameleon-like variability, thanks to which she finds the right colors in the voice for every era and style."
Besprechung von Isabella Steppan, 29.01.2021
Klassik Heute
"No question about it, it is an unusually original and impressive debut album that the Berlin soprano Pia Davila presents here."
Besprechung von Ekkehard Pluta, 27.01.2021
ORF - Ö1 Des Cis
"Pia Davila leads the listener through a fictional day. The accompaniment for the soprano voice, which changes from title to title, is as varied as the compositions: a cappella, electronic sounds, piano and baroque guitar."

"With her slender soprano, which shines wonderfully in the heights, very fine articulation and a great sense of language, she shows many different facets, humor and interpretive power."
Besprechung von Eva Maria Schramm, 13.01.2021
Aachener Zeitung
"All of this is carried by the extremely slender, bell-like voice of the 32-year-old soprano, which is capable of producing a warm glow. (...) The combination of the extremes of the contemporary and the baroque is excellent. (...) A great debut."

WDR3 Tonart
"Anyone who records such a debut album deliberately issues a musical business card in order to advertise themselves to organizers and agents. If a well-designed album comes out like this, Pia Davila has done everything right."
