4° CD poesia do Brasil – Renato Sellani e Rosa Emilia
I recorded my 4th CD in 2006 almost unintentionally after more than a decade singing accompanied by the late Renato Sellani's piano. Renato was elegant, minimalist and poetic with his piano. This CD was recorded in a single day and is the only official record I have with the conductor and friend. Everything on this record was recorded without retouching. I would have preferred recording longer and under better conditions. But despite his great fame (he played with Vaughan, Holiday, among others), Renato was satisfied with little and many people took advantage of it. I remember when I went to visit him in his Milan apartment. The piano where he practiced was in the hall of the building where he lived and had been donated by neighbors. Even so, Renato was a prince of unparalleled elegance. Every time I went on stage with him was a gift. Furthermore, he announced to me like this: “And with you the star of the night: Rosa Emilia!” It was beautiful and filled my soul with light! I miss you so much!

Gravei o meu 4° CD em 2006 quase sem querer depois de mais de uma década cantando acompanhada do piano do saudoso Renato Sellani. Renato era elegante, minimalista e poético com o seu piano. Esse CD foi gravado em um único dia e é o único registro oficial que tenho com o maestro e amigo. Tudo nesse disco foi registrato sem retoques. Eu teria preferido gravar com mais tempo e em condições melhores. Mas apesar da sua grande fama (tocou com Vaughan, Holiday, entre outros), Renato se satisfazia com pouco e muita gente se aproveitou disso. Me lembro quando fui visitá-lo no seu apartamento de Milão. O piano onde ele praticava ficava no hall do prédio onde vivia e havia sido doado pelo vizinhos. Mesmo assim, Renato era um príncipe de uma elegância ímpar. Cada vez que subia no palco com ele era um presente. Além disso, me anunciava assim: "E com vocês a estrela da noite: Rosa Emília!"Era bonito e me enchia a alma de luz! Saudades!!!
