Awakens A world unfolds. Fanny Azzuro steps into the night. Some albums simply arrive. This one lingers. Hypnos—named after the Greek god of sleep, brother of Thanatos and guardian of the threshold between waking and dreaming—is pianist Fanny Azzuro’s new recording, to be released on September 18, 2026 on naïve. A programme shaped by the spirit of nineteenth-century German Romanticism, bringing together Schumann, Brahms, Chopin and Scriabin. Two hours in the night. The Choice of a World Fanny Azzuro did not conceive Hypnos as one builds a recital. She shaped it as one enters a dream— through fragments, echoes and hidden affinities, following the inner logic that leads from Brahms to Schumann, Schumann to Chopin, and Chopin to Scriabin. The programme brings together Brahms’s Klavierstücke, Op. 118; Schumann’s Nachtstücke, Op. 23; three pieces from Clara Schumann’s Soirées musicales, Op. 6 (Notturno, Mazurka and Ballade); Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 2; Scriabin’s Nocturnes, Op. 5 and Op. 9 Less
