Josh Groban fans who caught the singer's 2004 Closer tour would no doubt take note of Lucia Micarelli, who was the violinist and concertmaster for Groban. Like her boss, who also is executive producer of Music From A Farther Room, Micarelli is a young, attractive, and talented player who has the classical training, but who is also enchanted with pop music. Also like her boss, her strain of classical crossover works thanks to tasteful accompaniment, in this case from arranger/composer Paul Schwartz. The smartly chosen program of material comes from such varied catalogs as David Bowie and Rogers and Hart. Micarelli's playing is emotional without being overreaching, assertive when called upon, and nuanced. When she does go over-the-top pop on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," it's brief but fun; when she navigates Piazzolla's "Oblivion" she draws upon the song's passion more than its technical requisites. This is a debut with likeable pizzazz, coming in a genre not often enough known for it. -- Tad Hendrickson
Album Description
For anyone who has attended Josh Groban's phenomenal live show, you will have undoubtedly had the pleasure of seeing and hearing his lead violinist, Lucia Micarelli. Lucia came to Josh's tour after appearing with the Trans- Siberian Orchestra playing arenas across the U.S. in 2003. With the close of the second leg of Josh's tour, Lucia is recording her debut album in New York and London with producer Paul Schwartz. Musical selections will range from the works of composers Ravel and Ennio Morricone to David Bowie.

 Extraordinary September 30, 2008
Ms.Lucia Micarelli is truly a gifted artist whom I am honored to have come across. Josh Groban gave her a huge advance in her career by putting her on his tour back in 2004. I think she is not only a talented artist, but is also a great person whom seems so down to earth. Lucia, keep making music please!
 Music from a Father room by Luica Micrelli September 3, 2008
I ordered the CD based on recommendation from a friend. The music is somewhat softer than expected. Good easy listening CD though. It is my first CD from this artist.
Gorgeous sound August 9, 2008
There is nothing like slipping this CD in while sitting in traffic and being taken to an entirely different place. Well engineered, well produced, this CD is a rich, satisfying experience, like good wine and expensive chocolate.
A True Artist December 31, 2007
Lucia's music provides a true gift to the listener through her mastery of the violin. Her phrasing and musicality is always evident and touching. Hopefully, Lucia will continue to produce cds!

You can hear the passion and emotion in her music. I can't wait to see what she has in her next Album, "Interlude".
I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with her music. I absolutely love, love, love watching her and listening to her music. I hate the fact that it makes me cry every time.
As stated in the previous review, it is absolutely beautiful ... Words do not do her music justice...
