The plan was to release my next album, “La Bella Liuto” in 2025. But the war started and it’s a year now without any sign of stopping. My mental health has been deteriorating this year, I have more bad than good days which makes even playing harder. So after a lot of thinking I have decided to delay “La Bella Liuto” for now.

For now, I’ll keep releasing videos twice a month but I have to stop every other planned projects. I’ll keep playing as much as I can (It also helps my mental health). I’m not planning on deleting any recording I already have.

The hard part is to keep my mental health in check for now. I want to thank everyone who supports me in this difficult time. I really hope to release this project and others in the future but I have to take a step back.

“La Bella Liuto” is my second project after “Renaissance Berries“, it contain 30 musical pieces from the later Renaissance. Played on my lovely Burkholzer by James Marriage.

Sincerely yours,

Omer Katzir, The Silent Troubadour
