Tachitipo
Since its release on November 15, Zosha’s debut album, Tachitipo, has garnered acclaim from critics and listeners alike. Take a look at a few notable reviews below:
Alex Ross, “The Rest is Noise”: Preliminary End of Year List 2019
BBC Music Magazine: Chamber Reviews, March 2020
”There’s much to explore in the [six] pieces, performed by a variety of musicians across multiple locations.”
“An Earful”: Record Roundup - Contemporary Kaleidoscope
“Color. Texture. Emotion. Craft. All those virtues are fully on display on this stunning portrait debut from Di Castri...The name Zosha Di Castri is memorable all on its own, but this knockout album guarantees it will be on the lips of anyone who loves new music.”
MusicWorks: “Zosha Di Castri. Tachitipo.”
”…A striking, rigorous debut album of solo and chamber works […] confronts musical juxtapositions and leans into them, creating waves of unpredictability and tension.”
“I Care If You Listen”: Tachitipo: Zosha Di Castri’s “Challenging and Satisfying” Debut Album
”At once inventive and eerily familiar, Di Castri’s material appeals to the physiological ear and the analytical ear both, observing no taboos but accepting no easy solutions either. Throughout the record, the restlessness with which one sonic state shifts into another is both challenging and satisfying […] Tachitipo is a formidable statement […] comprehensively realized, institutionally ratified, and sensitive to the creative exigencies of the 21st century.”
Congratulations, Zosha!
